Luke Brooks

Brooks defends well better than most halves - and that's all I got after tonight.

We need a fan boys only thread where they can discuss all the important topics like Luke, rainbows, unicorns and butterflies, leave this one for the realists.

This 👍🙏

He's got zero confidence and is a liability out there.

Madden is probably not the answer right now, but he's got potential to one day be it. No point watching Brooks make the same mistakes over and over again.

I hope he picks madden so when we concede over 30 and lose and you all have no scapegoat

 

[tigerballs]

Brooks can’t win us games if we keep letting 30pts in

But yeah sure make him the scapegoat for why we suck and we leak 30pts....

We leak 30 pts because we’re always defending. We probably have a prop or two that could kick us a repeat set at least once a game.

We'll probably still concede over 30. We've done that almost every week. At least Madden can improve with game time. Brooks is going backwards.

Can somebody please turn the lights out!

Brooks will

Feel for Brooksy. His time is up at the Tigers the club and player would be better off severing ties. Too many years of battling has drained his confidence. He can be a good NRL player at another club he has the talent just doesn’t look like he’s thinking at all about his footy.

People say this , and it’s probably true , but I think what they’re really saying , is “im off him and I’m sick of watching him lose , so I want anyone else “ . Just my opinion , if it’s the Jock Madden era soon I’m all for it , but I will always think we messed up a good un, in brooks .

I doubt the majority of the forum will be as forgiving as you.

Just a really dumb question? Do we have centres? If so when they do get the ball who gets it to them? Maybe just a part of the game I miss. When we have them ball they generally dont see it? I cant understand why not. They cant be that bad. Tbh i love AD and his passion but i would hate to be playing outside of him if i were a centre.

And if Madden slays it ?
Will you concede ?

My very argument is that the halfback is far from our worst problem. So Madden slaying it will likely still result in countless tries down our edges and a disappointing loss. So no net change.

Madden is a tackling machine? Gets through 120 tackles per game

In the first half, that is .... most weeks ??

He was good in D tonight
The rest was poor ..
How’s your bid going on the jersey 😂

But if we’re winning it doesn’t matter

For me it’s clear he’s cooked at the Tigers. Douihei is basically a rookie half and a way better player. We are not winning anything for years. Better off trying youth and giving them a chance. We are losing anyway squad is not up to standard.

Brooks to the Raiders or Rabbits would be the best move if they move on from their halfbacks. We would have to cover 300 or so but it’s the smart play for all parties.

I don’t think this team will win many more games this year. Nathan Cleary in the 7 wouldn’t make much difference
