Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

[Blake]

3 games back from an ACL 🙄

Mika Sivo has just come back from the same injury, he was quiet in his first game but has been trampling people as usual since then.

 

[pedrolaurie]

Speaking of Sivo why didn't we go right in attack last night? Sivo was hobbling for half the game. I wouldn't want to be cut in half by him either but surely injured he could have been targeted more or kicked towards.

At lease the three other halves have upside potential. Madden is young, AD is just back from his second ACL on the same knee, and Hastings appears to be carrying an injury. Our 187 game veteran has been on a downward trajectory for years. He still has very limited potential, only it is the potential to get slightly worse.

Brooks fan boys please copy-paste valid excuses here on the dotted line: _

😂😂😂😂
Is that the start of your list of excuses for the other boys?

 

[bigsiro]

Brooks needs to be treated with some respect

Elsewhere.

I doubt it. Rest of us don’t give players lifetime tenure

Really? You're in no position to talk about making a list of excuses considering how abundantly clear it is that you'd make excuses for Brooks even if he was tanking games.

Luke Brooks is a skilful player but he's always been a terrible option taker and let's face it, one of the fundamental reasons for us losing last night was a stupid option.

True but he has the upside of youth and the potential to improve, its not like you'd sign him on "big 4" 2016 money.

From what I’ve seen there is no Upside.

Just lacked execution.

Hastings did similar and scored

Thanks for clearing that up

And we ask the same of him..

Watch last nights game - He was the best (Pretty much the only) Half on the park?

 

[Tiger_heart]

Those that are Brooks fans believe that he is a good , capable player, so his potential has NOT been realized at this, club, even though he has had several coaches, played alongside different players, and yet come up short of expectation at every turn. So it's all their fault, right?

 

[Pascoes_barber]

So unusual for him. 🙄

 

[Blake]

The insecurity of Brooks fanboys is amazing. They have made every excuse under the sun for him for his rubbish performances going back 9 years but want to immediately dump on every other option the moment they have a bad game.

Rather than admit they were wrong and that its time to give someone else a go (one of which has proven he is a better 5/8), they continue to try and shit on the other options. Like someone else said, they are Brooks fans first, Tiger fans second.

All the Tigers coaching staff going back 9 years, all the teams that have tried to sign him, they are all just stupid fanboys who should just listen to the 50 smart people on this forum!

I don't mind the execution...it's the when and how that does my head in!!

 

[Dennisspicer1]

Madden is woeful . Half’s don’t grow on trees.

I never said madden was good, i stated i thought he was leaving the club, and probably because he is thinking his chance at our club, is no chance, while brooks decides he wants to stay.

Don't forget, also the fault of:

Referees
Fans
Opposition
His team mates
He's not a ball playing half
He's not a running half
He needs a less dominant halves pairing
He needs a more dominant halves pairing
Just needs more time to find his game
Peter V'Landys
Channel 9
FOX Sports
La Nina weather patterns
Too many home grounds
Too many away games
He had a great debut
So much potential unrealised
Halfback of the year

Al the teams that have tried to sign him? Really?? Or are you talking superleague?

 

[innsaneink]

Im not making excusues for him, nor am I a ''fanboy''...but imo he gives us everything hes got every game, which cannot be said for many others in the club.
What he lacks in talent/ability/execution he makes up for with plenty of heart and ticker

That said I think a move elsewhere would be best for him...its like staying in a relationship thats not working...id like to see him succeed elsewhere as I think he deserves it
