The pure for love for Brooks by some is unbelievable.
It's an easy thing to say, on each side of the argument.
Brooks doesn't win us games.

Brooks doesn't win us games.
Case in point.
Blind hatred can't see it when he does....
Won us the game against the Rabbits.
It's all good man, You don't need to admit it...
We actually watch the games.
That was 4 months ago....
Case in point.
Living in the past.
Holding into former glory.
No thanks.
I just pointed you to (1) game that he did win - pretty much single handedly
- with an intercept try, And then a field goal.
Also a big hand in the win the week before (But didn't get the accolades)
You said he doesn't win us games
- Which is just wrong
And I pointed out it was over 100 days ago.
What has he won for us since ?
We can just go around in circles with this.
Won us 80 minutes against the Cowboys...

Reynolds' dud pass near the Roosters' try line results in a Keary try. Reynolds has had a poor game tonight and pretty much the same last week. You won't read much about it. If it were Brooks, he would be taken to task about it.

Brooks is terrible my man, and we can't blame Madge anymore
Kicked the ball dead from a bomb....
Pretty easy to sit back and pick a footballers game to pieces innit.

Not IMO. I did say in a previous post I think he is a 5/8th. Some think he is a halfback good for them, I have never seen it even when I watched him back in schoolboys. But I’m not an NRL coach so what would I know.
All halves make errors - they have the hands on the ball more than any other player bar the DH its how they balance that out with directing the play/team that sorts the better ones from the the average and below average ones.
They don't have to star they just need to do thier job. Looking at the teams in the top half of the comp and rating their halves compared to the bottom half of the comp gives a pretty good indication of why some teams are struggling.

Just like @Jedi_Tiger and his halfback of the year claim.
Hope common sense prevails and he's pulling on a different teams jersey next year.
A fair assessment of the talent around them also helps with that...
Of course.
Some advice for Brooks.

Reynolds has missed the finals what? Twice in his career? Won a premiership, multiple grand finals...
Brooks has ... not played a finals game yet.
Brooks kicked a field goal against Souths a few months back. Big whoop. He's got nothing. His supporters will see him do one thing a month that 90% of halves in the league can do and harp on about it forever.
He's just not anywhere near a good player. There's nothing special about him. There's not one thing he does at even a league average level apart from maybe his one on one tackling, which while a nice bonus, doesn't mean much at all when you can't do anything in attack as a half.
In the two games Brooks was out, we've scored 32 and 36 points and won both games. We haven't Broken 30 in the 17 games win him and have a 2-15 record.
Says all you need to know. That and the fact that the people who support Brooks can never seem to pinpoint what he actually does well.
Hastings controls the game well and is a ferocious competitor, Doueihi has a great running game, Madden reads the game well and has great feel on his passing game and short kicking game. Brooks has what???
Exactly.
