Luke Brooks

[Kul]

Fwiw. Big reveal on the future of Luke Brooks was on NRL 360. Bit hard to put the content into text but. Let’s just say we’ll have a new halfback next year and a couple of senior forwards as a replacement.

Is there a replay anywhere?

It’s since been mentioned that it was Canberra and one of the two players were Hudson Young.

Putting my hand up, Brooks has proved me wrong. Since about round seven has has shown that he does have the skills to steer a team around the paddock, he is a talented half back and deserves to be in first grade. Apologies.
In a better team, he would have been NSW's half in the last SOO not that gutless wonder that used to play for us.

If Brooks has middles that are matching their opponents he is a competent first grade half back who can generate a lot of points. Also a strong defender. The poor bloke has just played behind too many weak forward packs.

You’re 100% correct.
At best he’s a ‘competent’ halfback.
Competent hasn’t got us anywhere in 9 years.

Too much incompetence around him.

Yes I saw it now ..Buzz 2 weeks ago said a coach was approached to take Brooks for 2 forwards (not named) to which the reply was No..

If the recruiting team thinks that getting rid of Brooks for Jackson Hastings is a good move, they have got rocks in their head.

Boulders based on our history

Think Brooks could be worth it with a decent team and sheens around him.

 

[tony soprano]

It would be the most wests tigers thing ever to release him now

They actually said, the swap we wanted for Brooks was for 2 players, and was offered 2 weeks ago, the other coach rejected the proposal, he wouldn't name the other coach

Well...Ricky is only coach desperate for a no 7 and we have two of them....but Hudson Young..?Really?Thinki weve got better .

if we were trading Brooks we can do better than Hudson Young and Tapine

Brooksy is not the problem nor the solution.

**Doueihi ran for 91 metres and set up five tries and had four linebreak assists in the Tigers’ win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Brooks was also solid with 42 running metres, one try assist, two tacklebusts and one offload, but he was completely outshone by Doueihi.**

----------

I'm not a fan of subsidising a player to go to a rival club, but Brooks was totally outplayed by a bloke four years his junior yesterday.

We should looking for some money to upgrade Doueihi and build a team around him.

Have a look at those try assists for Doueihi. Brooks played an important role in at least a couple of them, drawing the defence and giving Doueihi the room he needed.

I was lucky enough to be at the game and Brooksy really straightened the attack on most block plays which created the space for the backs

My first thought when I heard it on 360 was, must be the Raiders. I can see it now:

Sticky: "Madge mate, what do you say to sending brooksy down here?"

Madge: "Yeh sure mate, and we'll take Tapine and Young off your hands, sound like a deal?"

Sticky: "Not happening mate."

Stats , stats, Stats, so misleading ! Three try assists, -- he simply passed the ball, the commentators build it up, but it's simple, not genious. I have friends that read a game like a ten year old,-- if they score 2 tries they are man of the match, it does not matter if they can't tackle. Some don't see the hard work others do, the all round good game. They are star watchers, they only see a portion of the game. How many forwards win man of the match? How many forwards get blamed is you loose the match - none.
It's always the half that cops the flak, not the team around them.
Brooks has copped rubbish he does not deserve.

I watch off the ball a lot . I find myself looking at the shape building for the next play .sometimes I even miss what’s happening , like when brooks put stefano through. I was watching the edge defence manning up on our players .

The top view is awesome for watching what position the team is working towards. Tamou is really good for having the run before a block play . Something people often miss , as he finds his knees and has a good play the ball . Against the broncos he was really benefitting off the run after stefano. and as such , our backs were benefiting off his play the ball .

You don’t move players on unless you have a better replacement. Madden & Hastings are not better players.

Hastings may be but why take that risk. It sounds like a dumb decision to me.

Especially when he can clearly play in the middle of the field .

Lol so they asked if we would swap him , we said sure , give us your best 2 forwards , and they said no way .

It’s literally like asking for 2 all star caliber players for your above average player in any sports video game . The AI says no god damn way every time . Because it’s ludicrous .
If Canberra did say yes , It would be absolutely stupid .
Also wasn’t this around the same time that Brooks manager was shopping him after Williams bolted back to the motherland ? Mainly because , like right now , Brooks gets no love for the wins and all the hate for the losses ?

Exactly !!

Bye bye brooks. $900k is laughable. We need a crafty, tough hooker. The pomey hooker at Canberra will do us fine. Hastings will be 7 nxt year...Leader.

 

[tony soprano]

My guess from buzz was we discussed trading Brooks for two players with Canberra, Canberra trade seems real. Wonder which Canberra players we looking at have to be careful with them with the Bulldogs experiment
