It's frustrating. He can do it all but his game has not matured. My only reprieve for him is that he has never played with a real quality team for any length of time. Our turn over of players -most of the good ones - must be up there. I'm just happy if he does his job at this point and pleased when he goes well. I reckon we were pretty awful across the park yesterday and lucky for a couple of excellent bombs we stalled Parra's momentum. Brooks did some good things that kept us in the game and at least that spared us from a thrashing - and even the good teams rely on some luck to get them out of trouble.

Gosh, what would we do without a Luke Brooks thread?
OK, sure I’ll admit he’s not the best half in the comp, but he’s our half.

And has been for 8 seasons, and we haven't made the 8 in that time, and Brooks hasn't developed like everyone thought he would in that time, the waiting needs to end, or our finals drought will never end

How dare Brooks let Moses crab 40 meters across field and leave our defensive line staggered ! That’s Brooks fault!
Fans always pointing to his last game but hes played what 150+ games now?
Yes he was solid at best in the eels game, it wasn't his fault we lost.
But he's into his what 7th season? and were still waiting for him to "show this potential"
There's a famous quote from Einstein that fits this situation
Of course we need to replace him with someone better then average

He tries his ass off ....I've always said that ...he just is garbage at organizing this side .....his running game is gone ....he doesn't ball play ...he doesn't use his short kicking game ...no wonder Parra's defence monstered us ..they know they won't see anything coming at them
Am I wrong ??

Yep
Because if he was throwing different options at Parra he could have them stop and think
Run early ...short kick in behind the defensive line when we are on attack ...it makes the line hold to see what we are going to do ...make them have to react to our attack ...not just expect one out running or ad lib footy

He is displaying the football brains of a gnat at the moment. Really hasn’t learnt a great deal about football in his 151 games of NRL.

I wonder how much better Brooks would look if our defence was water tight?
