Has their been a halfback in the game who hasn’t t led his team to finals yet still be playing for the same team for as long as brooks has. Must be a world record of some sort.

I really really hope Hastings performs well next year and commands that 7 spot. What happens with Brooks I simply do not care. He is a slightly better Brodie Croft but doesn't have the weight of Melbourne and Brisbane on his shoulders. If he went to these clubs he would be dropped after a few games, but at the Tigers he is coddled as we don't have a better 7 and can't sign a better 7. That doesn't make him good, it just cements our mediocrity.
How can anyone watch him play and get excited?
We need an improvement at 7 badly, and I hope Hastings is it.

Unless Brooks is injured, Madden won't get a go, and there's quite a difference between him and Brooks and Madden does not come out in front.

Brooks' defence alone is keeping in the squad. That is fair enough. We have seen the best and worst of Luke Brooks and he will continue to fluctuate between that from time to time depending on the teams form. He isn't a half that is going to flip a game on it's head or be the match winner. He is a half that is going to be able to dictate momentum dependent on how the team is fairing. He is a solid half. That is why people are saying if he is in a good system and in a good team he will flourish.
Hastings might be a better 7, although we will probably have the slowest halves pairing in the world.

Based on one game? How’s our mate Tyson gamble going over at the broncos. He wasn’t the best in the couple of games he played. Broncos gave him a chance and he’s killing it. I would happily take him over brooks without any thought.

Always thought he wasn’t given enough of a chance with us Tyson. It’s showed when given a chance he’s excelled with his playing style. I really like players that play with passion! Luke doesn’t have a lot IMO
Much as I'd love to see Luke become a Cronk style strategist for us, it simply ain't going to happen under the club's current coaching setup and with our current roster, or even with the new recruits in 2022. That said, I think he'd absolutely kill it in quality systems like the Storm and the Roosters.

Brooks can’t kill it in any team. Playing with cook and Walker would have made him nervous

Brooks is more talented but Tyson is more of a competitor. That's what I saw in the guy. Hopefully Hastings brings the same kind of passion because as we have seem Luke is just happy to receive a pay check and has no second gear.

Brooks sitting some of the biggest opposition forwards on their backsides tends to suggest he is a competitor and fearless. I would also consider that type of effort should inspire his team mates to do the same.

He sure is competitive. I remember the Titans game when David Fifita was knocking over 3 or more of our forwards like they were 9 pins, but Brooks managed to nail him one on one more than once. Wally Lewis had that fierce competitive attitude in a game. IMO the true leaders have that leadership quality which sends a very loud clear message to teammates. Anyone can tell someone how to do it, but real leaders show the way. That is why Brooks was captain.

I'm not sure how he showed any leadership against the Warriors. Sure, he can tackle blokes bigger than him, but so does Twal.
Where was the leadership when no one was at dummy half or when the team was on the front foot twice and they decided to try a hail mary 2 point field goal? As Cronk said after the game, he went missing or more accurately made bad decisions.
