So you could argue he should have many more try assists.
Stats don't tell the whole story. Let's not pretend Brooks is having a good season. He's been average so far. Not the best, not the worst and disappointing given his experience.
That is my biggest gripe, along with numerous commentators this year, we have a glut of field possession on the opponents tryline, and come up with nothing, happens almost every week. And most weeks the opposition get the ball, go down our end and score first or second visit, and that contributes heaps to the players dropping their heads, they surely don't have confidence in Brooks to get it done
Brooks looks outside of him and it's skinny. Opposition teams have far greater strike out wide. Sunday was a great example. Brooks provides more than enough try scoring opps to defeat the Dragons.
Brooks looks outside him and realises he can’t throw a long ball so he either passes short to the next guy or turns a plodder back on the inside with a hospital pass / settler killing off another raid .
Not to mention he hasn't learnt how to put up a spiral bomb, even Walker at 18 and 5 games in has good a one
