Luke Brooks

[mike]

He's lost me. We have forwards who can actually go forward and make metres and he is still starved of last tackle options. Drilling short kicks dead, no long kicking game, seven tackle resets. I think his game has gone backward with us, he and us need a new lease on life. Would be best for both parties if he went.

Agree. I think he needs to be somewhere else. Don't see much improvement unless he gets a change of scenery.

Send him to the cowboys

stuff that ....send him to the abbatoirs

Did you watch the game this week ?

grab phone ...check score.....add 6 pts to opposition ......

Soft...

rather work and get Sunday rates....watching the WTs is like having a sucky volunteer job

I volunteering at Vinnies next Sunday

You volunteering would involve you eating about 47 sausage sangas

I actually felt for him 😂


Same thing happened to Wade Graham today, but he had the smarts to use the studs on his boots to break through. Our special boy dug deep drawing on his leadership skills to give up and run away.

Saw brooksy’s misses at the game today, the blokes too busy scoring of the field he’s got nothing left on it

Wade Graham was professional enough to be studs knowing the ground was wet, something none of our left edge were smart enough to do or our coach was competent enough to check

 

[tigerbill]

We can't keep carrying him, he is so predictable and I'm sure packer kicks better than he does. And to those who would ask "but who will replace him". Anybody!

 

[Cairnstigers]

Brooks is going to be feeling the pressure now
He won't be able to hide from it this week or any week till we start winning
I think he might actually take some time away from the game this year
He would be feeling enormous pressure
Just how much can a guy take

Hahaha, yes it was an ominous start wasn’t it.

He is a paid employee, if he can't handle the pressure, give back the 800K he is being paid and find another job. Lets face it, if any of us failed in our jobs as he has for as long as he has, we'd have gotten fairly familiar with Centrelink.

He couldn’t even break through his 150th banner, instead he had to go around it. Absolutely no smarts at all. He really needs to be elsewhere, he’d probably kill it at another club.

Douhei to 7.

Mbye to 6. Or, we given Madden a crack.

Actually thought Brooks ran really well yesterday. His kicking game is awful though. No doubt about that.

His break wasn't predictable. We need more offloads to bring Liddle, Laurie and Brooks into the game. The more he involves himself especially from offloads, the better he becomes. Our attack is too structured and if the attack breaks down our players don't appear to know what to do.

The people holding the banner didn’t pull it tight enough..

Let’s be fair, it’s not Brooks‘s fault. The guy got extremely lucky by having Tigers management sign him to this contract. Prudent thing for management to do right now is to assess the current position, recognise sunk costs (as tough as that is) and make decisions which are best for the future.
The biggest stakeholders in the Tigers are the fans. And we have spoken. We are fed up.

This thread has aged well.

I’d really like to know what @Geo ‘s thoughts are?

If it had been set up on the dead ball line he could have kicked a ball straight through it

If some others out the effort in today that Brooks did the scoreline would of been different (we still would of lost). His effort wasn’t the issue today.

His execution isn’t up to nrl standard & he isn’t an nrl halfback. He is a runner & thats always been his strength. He isn’t a coordinator or a both side of the field player.

Think we bite the bullet and proceed with Hastings
No more crocks like Reynolds @ co
..and while were at it,write off Joey and accept that Roosters were correct on his winger buddy

What did we see in Kepaoa? I’m seriously worried about our ‘talent’ identification

Telent ID is very concerning..weve got a bunch of em who weve recruited or renewed in past year or two who really arent what we thought (or hoped) they were..
...most of the backline fits that category tbh,tho I will exempt Laurie who looks like he may have something
..and why we let Momo go still amazes tbh.Nothing special,but good attitude and smart..something were missing

People saying we had potentially the best centres in the Comp are quiet

Haha yeah I was one of them. I still think Roberts will be good for us, but I take back every word of hope I said about BJ, what a useless bludger he is.

I still think Roberts will be an excellent signing. He just needs to get some ball. BJ should never play first grade for us again. He's slow, lazy and stupid.
