Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

Haha....
Seems you're also conveniently forgetting Brooks good kicks.
It's OK, We're used to it....

Kick is only as good as the chase...

I haven’t forgotten his good kicks… there’s only been a few to remember.

You’re conveniently forgetting all the good kicks Moses puts in … something Brooks struggles with.

They've both put plenty of good kicks in. Yes, Moses has put in a few more but his team also consistently give him more field position, time and space to work with.
Their kicking games in comparable situations is about even.

Its Hunt's turn.

Both deservedly so, and sadly, also similarly maligned.

So Luke got a total of 4 points this year?
Sounds about right.

That's not true....

Taylor was the only one who turned up with a plan, Interviewed well and actually put any work into his interview / presentation.
Had stats on stats why we're so poor defensively, All the players contracted and where they needed to improve.
The other blokes interviewed like we were lucky to have their interest, and like they had the job sewn up and the interview process was just an informal discussion.
Taylor really blew them away with the work he'd put in....
He was the best of that bunch at the time...

I'm as critical of the board as anyone....
But I won't be critical of them for that, They picked the bloke who had put the work into getting the job and had the most passion for the role at the time
- Can't criticise them for that - No matter how it turned out.

The bloke could of turned up with the ghost of Jack Gibson, he still shouldn't have been hired, he caused trouble at every club he was involved with as a player and coach, he shouldn't have even got an interview.
So yes I blame the board, the worst ever signing in the clubs history, then when appointed coach he went and got us the second worse signing in the clubs history, Matt Ballin, it was a very foreseeable and preventable outcome, but the board screwed the pooch big time

Except when he won the game for us against Souths earlier this year.

Brilliant, once in 9 years, lets sign him for life, fair dinkum, we are talking finals footy here, Brooks has had a stack of chances and even more excuses as to why he keeps failing, lets just move on

Claiming 'once' in however many years

About as valid as the excuses for him, Benji to dominant, Farah wont give him the ball, Hastings gets moved all over the shop trying to make him work, no other player in the game has had as long or as many chances to be a first grade half as he has had, talk about the definition of insanity

Pretty sure Hastings at 13 was planned all along
