If anyone watches the replay of Edwards run just have a look at Tamou chase and was there at marker.

The pressure Maguire was under coincided with Brooks's poor form. Rumours were around that the board were looking at other options.
How times have changed.
Brooks has been back to his best since coach removed Doueihi from the halves. It was exactly what Brooks needed to take control of the team.
Full credit to his form. I hope he can keep it up and imporve on his talk and on field leadership on the back of the renewed confidence.
My concern however is removing Doueihi a good young 5/8 improved his form. Last night when Moses went down Brooks played even better, took on more responsibility.
We are however playing this game to win a premiership. To do that and to beat top 4 sides you need two quality halves.
Can Luke still play this well with a dominant 5/8 outside of him. This is where i have my doubts and i hope we dont end up back at the start of this cycle where Luke is under pressure because his form drops again as we improve the 5/8 position.
Adding a Munster, Luai, Walker type 5/8 to this team is essential if we want to challenge for the comp. Can he handle that kind of presence on the field?
Im yet to see it and ill remain a critic until i see him play this well with a dominant 5/8 beside him.
TBH, I think he is playing very well with Mbye along side him, so would a dominate 6 be detrimental to him?

Brooks hasn’t changed that much apart from form..
The difference between having Mbye and Doueihi is they are different 5/8 in the way they play... Mbye is a distributor 1st and foremost whilst Doueihi is give me the ball and I’ll do it myself runner which is great as well but often stops the flow of attack.. Doueihi needs to work on when to do that and when to simply distribute the ball like Mbye has been doing
Another interesting change has been Liddle playing 1st receiver in good ball range allowing Brooks to be wider of the ruck and the. Attack to stand deeper..re-uniting with Garner and having a Blore has added a new threat ...Brooks threw 6 short ball passes in the game all were caught and all put either back rower in space.. or drew extra defenders to cover...we are suddenly having options in attack,,

Maguire was blamed for him not playing his best previously, does he also get the credit for getting the best out of him?
