Luke Brooks

[Bula]

Wouldnt be unhappy to see him do Toovey and shift to hooker. Kicking from dummy half would be a bonus. Might push up in support which we lack. Can't move forward as a team with him at halfback.

When you lose control of the ruck and allow the Sharks to dictate the speed of the game, I'd say Kenny and Sterling would struggle.

Doueihi was the passenger out there today. His defence is woeful.

Even so … we still looked like headless chooks in the Sharks 20..
He’s got nothing !

Lock is his position

Brooks was the only player that turned up and played for 80 min today. Did his job and a lot more. Amone was good, everyone one else did far more harm than good.

He and Mbye were easily our most dangerous. A very solid game today although you won't read that on this forum.

thought mbye and Brooks were the only two who had a go
Douhie was terrible but he was not alone

happy to try hooker for Brooks and put simpkin on the bench

Weidler reporting on Continuous Call Team that he’s being shopped around for next year and beyond.

The problem with that is him getting front rowers running at him at speed. He will get less of that at marker. Talau needs to shift in to lock where he can ball play a bit and handling less of a problem.

Of all Ivan Cleary's coaching achievements I'd say him getting Luke Brooks to Dally M Half of the Year is his greatest.

Went off nrl.com stats but either way yes they are providing points. I dont understand why we continue to point the finger at the halves when our attack is fine.
Especially the half that is also more than holding his own in defence as well.

He tries hard but lacks the ability and the nous to succeed in the role we have him in.

As I said, if anyone can find a stat that supports Brooks running from dummy half I’ll consider him as a hooker. Frankly I haven’t seen that. Once.

I think he’d handle it at lock. He basically does that now. I actually think he’d be a terrible dummy half, he has very poor decision making ability.

I know Brooks is not a halfback & in my opinion is a hooker but he should not be the only one to blame Adam Douiehi is not a six as he hogs the ball to much & kills our backline plays way too often he should be in the centre’s Nofoaluma should be playing reserve with his defensive deficiencies. Our fowards have no mongrel & do not make enough metres so in summary we need a new six to partner Hastings a new winger, a new hooker & some new aggressive big forwards.

He's not a player that's going to lead the club to success, that much has been obvious for several years now. Just doesn't have the game management skill required of a top level halfback.

 

[Wildcat777]

Brooks is ok… But better for us and him that he moves on.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

The club needs to sort out the coaching issue before any decisions are made about players. This cannot continue.

 

[sheer64]

The club needs to offload dud players like Brooks before any decisions on coaching.

 

[cktiger]

Now Brooks can add being our worst ever captain to his resume.
The guy is a gormless loser, can only hope we really are shopping him.
Attack is rubbish, kicking poor, organisation non existent and his defence not as good as his fanboys carry on about.
Don’t need him anywhere near the team.
Downvotes welcome.

Weidler saying we are still offering Brooks to other clubs for next year

Cleary had no problem getting the best from Brooks. We have a coaching issue and if Pascoe has not been on the phone advising Maguire that his tenure is finished he is letting down all WTs' supporters.
