Watch his interview on the website. Sums him up pretty well imo. Can't think on his feet, robotic answers, nervous, no presence, no personal accountability,no character, offers little.
I know you don't have to be a good talker to be a good footy player or vise versa, but man that was a cringeworthy as his clutch plays.

It shows me the coach doesn’t know how to use Brooks & is trying to put a round pet into a square hole. Brooks can play, he hasn’t played his natural style under Madge for 18mths. He has never been a leader. Even when he played juniors with Mitch, Mitch would bark the team around. He is being asked to be something he isn’t. He did get switched off and he is absolutely trying to play Madge ball but it isn’t his style of footy. He looks unco and without confidence to execute. Maybe that will change if we get some wins. Maybe Madge ball needs to evolve and let these guys play their natural game as well. Maybe Brooks needs to find a home where he fits in, under the right coach he would very good. With Hastings coming guess we will find out soon enough.

And maybe the question needed to be asked at the accountability lunch? Apparently Madge opened the floor to critique his coaching. Apparently the players were candid and honest in their response, then backed their coach on the field.
The case against Madge rests. Thank you .

Sure why not when he sacks players every 2nd week.
Can’t imagine too much was brought up.

Worth remembering that the players dropped were originally picked and have been found wanting.

Not sure what you want him to do, we are now 2 - 6, some players have not been playing to reserve grade standard, never mind first grade.

Just read an article that James tamou said douhie is now the dominant half. He can bark what ever he likes at the team. He's been there for 6 games and he is the dominant half. Just cracks me up that brooks has folded like a deck chair and relinquished the keys to the team to adam. Tigers need a dominant 7.... https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/wests-tigers-captain-james-tamou-on-why-the-tigers-need-to-hand-adam-doueihi-the-keys-to-the-team/news-story/831b0d6e4498aa7ba920df6ce86bc97d

Brooks doesn't concede it in the interview though. Not sure he can get his head around it. Probably why we still see him kicking kiddies bombs when everyone else realises Adam should do the majority of kicking. Over calling him I reckon.

150 game veteran plays second Fidel to a 6 game rookie. It's a fold on epic proportions.

Wow it’s almost like .... that’s never happened before?

I can’t recall it can you ?

Did Maloney not play 2nd fiddle to Cleary when he jumped into grade?

No .. it was the Maloney show..
Cleary did Jack just like he did when he started playing Origin ..


Ok
So even discounting that one...you reckon it’s never happened before?

You’re the one that’s debating the point mate ... it’s not up to me to do your research ?

PM Geo Middleton.. he’ll help you .

I feel sorry for Doueihi

He has to organise the play .
Lead by example ..
Run the ball..
Put up the bombs ..
Make tackles ..
Show passion ..
And Do the goal kicking ..

I can’t believe the Wee Man fan boys haven’t blamed Doueihi for stifling Wee Man ?

You know its coming.. Give it time ?

Last week it was Luke Brooks fault because he doesn’t force enough drop outs, then he forced 3 dropouts and now people whinge he doesn’t get enough try assists from passes. Next week it will be some other obscure rubbish, anything to avoid acknowledging that he is actually not as bad as they have been trying to make out.

And we have to have 15 different topics all about how Luke Brooks sucks. It’s making the forum boring.
 
We moved on two club ledgends for this bloke because he was getting over called. Then at the beginning of the year it's his team and after 6 games folds and now douhie is the dominant half. It's beyond laughable. And the fact he is getting 900k a year is mind blowing.

You’re rewriting history.

Marshall was moved to allow Doueihi to move to 6. That was always the plan from the day Doueihi was signed. I assume the other you’re referring to is Farah who retired with a crook back...

As for 900k that has also been refuted by people here with inside knowledge but keeps being reused to try and pad the argument.

That year he finished 3rd in the Dally Ms he must have been alright too.
 
With Tamou coming out and stating the obvious re: Doueihi - I really think their combination can be similiar to Lui & Marshall back in 10/11. Brooks isn't a dominant voice and never will be - doesn't mean he can't contribute to a winning team. Needs to get back to 2019 form though and whether or not his salary is too high to preform that role (focus on steering the forwards around and be a 5th tackle option when Doueihi is marked/tackled) is another question. IMO at 600k is fine - at 900k too much.

You can’t deny, that is sound logic, and put another way... now that we have won we know what it feels like and we like it!

Had a good year for sure, played a lot like a 5/8 I thought. Shame he's gone downhill since then, hasn't come close to playing like that.
