Reckon Madge should try the Ben Hunt experiment and put him in at hooker. Just gotta tackle, give good service, have a dart and kick now and then. Keep it simple for him.

Hasn't got the heart for it...
The guys been frauding as a 7 his whole career.
Sure way to get the worst out of him, LOL

I actually reckon Brooksy tries his heart out. He just hasn’t got it / or our expectations are that we expect him to be an elite half when he is more just an average one.

Hopefully Madden kills it this weekend and shows us what we’ve been missing out on

No one argues that Brooks is putting in ...but he is the teams chief playmaker and needs to offer quality leadership ....if he can't ...he is a wasted plank of wood ...whether he is a junior or not ...or whether Brooks has shown loyalty simply doesn't matter ....


Spot on @happy_tiger.
And that bit "team's chief playmaker" - that just takes me over the edge.
Only, if we had a real "team's chief playmaker."

Ok ... which one my pick Munster...

All the AD love does my head in , to the point it’s clear how biased people are being , where they won’t even acknowledge how woeful he is defensively . He’s really , really , bad! And I think mainly he’s exposed a lot more because he’s standing next to Luci most of the game . If Blore can come into form , I’d like to see how well he goes next to AD. It doesn’t matter if he sets up 3 tries if he lets in 4 or 5.
Or barely anyone is talking about the lack of any strike down the edge we had all the strike last year . It gets to AD and the ball stops. It’s usually the right choice for him to keep it , as he’s big and strong , and dents the defensive line , but there are issues in attack and defence down that edge .
This isn’t to say AD sux though , as he’s been our best this year . That’s clear . But it’s to say , he what if we put someone there to get the ball to the edges early, and get AD running wider . It probably won’t work and we will go back to him at 6 , but it’s worth a shot . I get the idea.
Say what you will about brooksy , but when the ball gets spread to his edge , do you panic ? Do you think oh god , they’ll score here ? I do on the other side ! Every single time . That’s not ok . We fix that , and guys switching off for periods of the game , we should go better . I’d rather win 14-12 than lose 36-28 .
I can’t believe how it’s brooksy fault we didn’t win 42-36 ! That score line should never ever ever happen! No coach in the world would be happy about that . They’d go into the shed and throw stuff against the wall . Yet here we are taking about how our halfback is garbage because he could lay on the try to make it 36 all or 42-36. I’m not defending brooks , it’s clear he seems robotic . But in your quest to replace him, your totally refusing to see how bad AD is defensively , and how the ball stops for long periods of the game .

Yep, it's all AD'S fault.
Before that was BM's fault.
Before that was RF's fault.

Here’s the deal Champ! Fix the defence and put whoever in the halves . I don’t care who you put there . But the defence is beyond garbage . And with all those other guys , we never leaked 30 points a game . Which is HISTORICALLY BAD!!! Not just bad , The WORST DEFENCE EVER! Statistically . And it’s down the right hand side mostly . It’s terrifying every time a garbage tram goes wide .
I don’t know what game you watch , but it’s clearly not the same one as me . And if you have the worst defence ever , your not winning much . **So go away idiot !**

Hahaha... but sorry, not going anywhere.
Good to see I've been added to one of the many you have chosen to personally abuse.
Thanks I suppose, but do you really think anybody who has been following your rants actually believes you don't care who plays half?
Also not surprising to see the names of the guys who upvoted your response.
For the record I do care who plays halfback next year ... and, the way he's going now, hope it's anybody except your buddy Brooksy.


Do they even moderate around here.

Cant discuss the issue without the personal insults.

Not the first time he's done it to me ... and I'm not the only one.
I suppose all the darts aimed at his favourite guy Brooks just set him off.
Can only imagine he has a short fuse and can't express himself any other way.

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

Apparently Canberra half Williams is certain to return to Super League openly reported in the UK home sick and partner is pregnant.
How would this go offer a swap deal BROOKS for TAPINE Ricky being ex lalf back might get the best out of Brooks.
Then we could wait for the thread How did we let Brooks go.

Read the Roosters' forum. Tapine may be one in 2022.

Didn't see that coming ?????

 

[TYGA]

Yesterday Flanagan was hooked mid game looks like reserve grade for him after 8 games ..Brooks just can not cut it after 150 games and is the first selected every week ... Why is this ?

You shouldn’t comment on footy if you don’t realise the difference in situations..

The bulldogs actually turn up to play and defend, they actually put in an effort. The biggest issue for them is scoring points.

We are the complete opposite, we can score points but we leak 30+ and let the easiest try’s in. So hooking brooks (one of the best defenders in the team) not only does that not make any sense it’s also the stupidest thing we could do.

Jesus shouldn’t even have to explain that.

Can we give up on how wonderful Brooks defence is?
It was terrible and he has improved a lot … but he’s not there only because he can make the odd tackle.
To put it in context DCE has better tackle efficiency numbers…. and offers everything else Brooks doesn’t as the ‘Cherry’ on top.


I mean DCE tackle efficiency is 88.2% and brooks is 87% not that different. DCE has one more forced drop out. Brooks has 4 more try assists.

Brooks doesn’t seem that bad compared to the origin halfback. Just imagine how much better brooks statistics would be with some big names playing next to him.

Both DCE and Brooks do a lot of one on one tackles. There aren’t many halves who can nail David Fifita one on one. Brooks is also one of the few players in our roster who has footy nous. He doesn’t play well under structure when he’s focussed on lining up all the other ducks. I would love to see him in a quality team with some freedom of choice.
Sure, his kicks have become subdued and he doesn’t have a flick pass, but he’s got everything else you want in a 7. If he went to Storm he’d be the blues 7.

Brooks has three issues:

His kicking game is not good enough for a halfback.

He doesn’t dig into the line to create space for his backs to pass the ball he either just runs or passes flat.

He doesn’t organise the team and have any strategy to a set of 6.

He’s poor at the job description of a halfbackZ
Number 6 is his position next roan organising half. Hopefully Madge tries Madden (7) and Brooks (6) with Douihei and BJ as strike out wide. It may benefit the team. Mbye needs to go and if Brooks can’t aim up he has to follow him. Loafers is the only explanation.

I think you might be right . But until now , I don’t think we had the organising half in the club to take that pressure off . Hopefully madden can do that job.

Say what you will about brooksy , but when the ball gets spread to his edge , do you panic ? Do you think oh god , they’ll score here ? I do on the other side ! Every single time . That’s not ok . We fix that , and guys switching off for periods of the game , we should go better . I’d rather win 14-12 than lose 36-28 .
I can’t believe how it’s brooksy fault we didn’t win 42-36 ! That score line should never ever ever happen! No coach in the world would be happy about that . They’d go into the shed and throw stuff against the wall . Yet here we are taking about how our halfback is garbage because he could lay on the try to make it 36 all or 42-36. I’m not defending brooks , it’s clear he seems robotic . But in your quest to replace him, your totally refusing to see how bad AD is defensively , and how the ball stops for long periods of the game .

Yep, it's all AD'S fault.
Before that was BM's fault.
Before that was RF's fault.

Here’s the deal Champ! Fix the defence and put whoever in the halves . I don’t care who you put there . But the defence is beyond garbage . And with all those other guys , we never leaked 30 points a game . Which is HISTORICALLY BAD!!! Not just bad , The WORST DEFENCE EVER! Statistically . And it’s down the right hand side mostly . It’s terrifying every time a garbage tram goes wide .
I don’t know what game you watch , but it’s clearly not the same one as me . And if you have the worst defence ever , your not winning much . **So go away idiot !**

Hahaha... but sorry, not going anywhere.
Good to see I've been added to one of the many you have chosen to personally abuse.
Thanks I suppose, but do you really think anybody who has been following your rants actually believes you don't care who plays half?
Also not surprising to see the names of the guys who upvoted your response.
For the record I do care who plays halfback next year ... and, the way he's going now, hope it's anybody except your buddy Brooksy.

I just call out the bullies on here .


Yet you are the only one calling people names

All the AD love does my head in , to the point it’s clear how biased people are being , where they won’t even acknowledge how woeful he is defensively . He’s really , really , bad! And I think mainly he’s exposed a lot more because he’s standing next to Luci most of the game . If Blore can come into form , I’d like to see how well he goes next to AD. It doesn’t matter if he sets up 3 tries if he lets in 4 or 5.
Or barely anyone is talking about the lack of any strike down the edge we had all the strike last year . It gets to AD and the ball stops. It’s usually the right choice for him to keep it , as he’s big and strong , and dents the defensive line , but there are issues in attack and defence down that edge .

I just call out the bullies on here . Like you . And I’d call you worse , if I could get away with it . I don’t like you . Your not funny . Your not charming and you offer nothing.

Yet you are the only one calling people names and taking it personally.

Everyone you are calling out is simply discussing the issue.

You are the only one acting outside of the forum rules.

And now they are having a holiday.


Good.

Go and look at the insults he hurled at me three days ago.

I didn't want him gone at the time as I could care less what some random says when he can no longer discuss the issue but he just kept going for days.

Attacking anyone who dare call out Luke Brooks. Rather sad.

I work and have a family, and I don't sit on the forum every waking minute scrolling to make sure adults behave themselves. Also helps when people report things.

And I think mainly he’s exposed a lot more because he’s standing next to Luci most of the game . If Blore can come into form , I’d like to see how well he goes next to AD. It doesn’t matter if he sets up 3 tries if he lets in 4 or 5.
Or barely anyone is talking about the lack of any strike down the edge we had all the strike last year . It gets to AD and the ball stops. It’s usually the right choice for him to keep it , as he’s big and strong , and dents the defensive line , but there are issues in attack and defence down that edge .
This isn’t to say AD sux though , as he’s been our best this year . That’s clear . But it’s to say , he what if we put someone there to get the ball to the edges early, and get AD running wider . It probably won’t work and we will go back to him at 6 , but it’s worth a shot . I get the idea.
Say what you will about brooksy , but when the ball gets spread to his edge , do you panic ? Do you think oh god , they’ll score here ? I do on the other side ! Every single time . That’s not ok . We fix that , and guys switching off for periods of the game , we should go better . I’d rather win 14-12 than lose 36-28 .
I can’t believe how it’s brooksy fault we didn’t win 42-36 ! That score line should never ever ever happen! No coach in the world would be happy about that . They’d go into the shed and throw stuff against the wall . Yet here we are taking about how our halfback is garbage because he could lay on the try to make it 36 all or 42-36. I’m not defending brooks , it’s clear he seems robotic . But in your quest to replace him, your totally refusing to see how bad AD is defensively , and how the ball stops for long periods of the game .

Yep, it's all AD'S fault.
Before that was BM's fault.
Before that was RF's fault.

Here’s the deal Champ! Fix the defence and put whoever in the halves . I don’t care who you put there . But the defence is beyond garbage . And with all those other guys , we never leaked 30 points a game . Which is HISTORICALLY BAD!!! Not just bad , The WORST DEFENCE EVER! Statistically . And it’s down the right hand side mostly . It’s terrifying every time a garbage tram goes wide .
I don’t know what game you watch , but it’s clearly not the same one as me . And if you have the worst defence ever , your not winning much . **So go away idiot !**

Hahaha... but sorry, not going anywhere.
Good to see I've been added to one of the many you have chosen to personally abuse.
Thanks I suppose, but do you really think anybody who has been following your rants actually believes you don't care who plays half?
Also not surprising to see the names of the guys who upvoted your response.
For the record I do care who plays halfback next year ... and, the way he's going now, hope it's anybody except your buddy Brooksy.

I just call out the bullies on here . Like you . And I’d call you worse , if I could get away with it . I don’t like you . Your not funny . Your not charming and you offer nothing.

Yet you are the only one calling people names and taking it personally.

Everyone you are calling out is simply discussing the issue.

You are the only one acting outside of the forum rules.

And now they are having a holiday.


Good.

What took you so long.

I work and have a family, and I don't sit on the forum every waking minute scrolling to make sure adults behave themselves. Also helps when people report things.

When the other mods post in and around his comments rather than pulling him in line a person has a right to ask.

Not saying youve done anything wrong @Cultured_Bogan. Just how it went down.

Good.

What took you so long.

It’s not a baby sitting club
Attitude much !

Go and look at the insults he hurled at me three days ago.

I didn't want him gone at the time as I could care less what some random says when he can no longer discuss the issue but he just kept going for days.

Attacking anyone who dare call out Luke Brooks. Rather sad.

There’s a squeal / flag option of posts if your that offended .

Squeal lol.

i like that.

Like I said it helps if you report things. I see reports and deal with them fairly swiftly.

I largely am on the phone and the site is jumpy so I don't see all posts.

Reckon Madge should try the Ben Hunt experiment and put him in at hooker. Just gotta tackle, give good service, have a dart and kick now and then. Keep it simple for him.

Hasn't got the heart for it...
The guys been frauding as a 7 his whole career.
Sure way to get the worst out of him, LOL

I actually reckon Brooksy tries his heart out. He just hasn’t got it / or our expectations are that we expect him to be an elite half when he is more just an average one.

Hopefully Madden kills it this weekend and shows us what we’ve been missing out on

No one argues that Brooks is putting in ...but he is the teams chief playmaker and needs to offer quality leadership ....if he can't ...he is a wasted plank of wood ...whether he is a junior or not ...or whether Brooks has shown loyalty simply doesn't matter ....


Spot on @happy_tiger.
And that bit "team's chief playmaker" - that just takes me over the edge.
Only, if we had a real "team's chief playmaker."

Ok ... which one my pick Munster...

Denounce Brooks

He already has ..

Happy's in Queensland..sloooow on the uptake..

I just want to say that this is no reflection on Happy individually either. It's just the way things have always been and will always be.
