Put brooks on a team like the storm, roosters or even manly and the things he does for the tigers would pay off massively on them teams.
I’ve done a lot of work for NRL players from different teams, and have been told by them that they would not join the tigers solely because of Madge.
The rumors are true, Madges reputation of players not wanting to work with him is a real thing.
Brooks' kicking game would not improve. His running game is average. What are you seeing? Really, what is it? He only plays well against bad teams and even then he's not consistent. This idea that'd his horrible playing style would work for a good team is baffling. Why do you think he was the only one who stayed out of the "big 4"?
IT WAS NOT LOYALTY. NO ONE WANTED HIM.
I’m seeing a club who has made terrible decisions, for years, I’m seeing a club that some how let’s all our great talent go, I’m seeing a club that has terrible off field leadership/recruitment/management, I’m seeing a club that is now the punchline of the NRL.
Regarding brooks.. I’m seeing a player who struggles with the negatives I mentioned above.. a player who hasn’t had a decent solid stable spine/forward pack, I’m seeing a player who kicks to the edges and our edge players literally look at each other, I’m seeing a player trying to gain momentum with the ball and passes to a player who than stops and looks around not knowing what to do with the ball, I see a player who is always strong on defense, I see a player trying to add pressure but has very little support, I see a player who really blossom in a club who has more stability.
This is just my opinion and I know many would disagree, but, we all do agree that over the past decade the West’s Tigers have continued to make terrible decisions, on and off the field, a lot would say Keeping brooks as our 7 is one of them bad decisions, however I just know if brooks had a decent stable coach, a decent big pack and a strong edge that all the little 1% stuff brooks does would pay off massively.
Then let him go for a better future for him, we have had enough of his football intelligence,even these young half backs comming thru make him look like he has dementia
Man, I agree, part of me wants to see him move on to have some success, in his case loyalty has been a demon for him.
In the past and even current, the top halves are not alone, they are surrounded by other great players, they are surrounded by players who have some level of X factor, Brooks hasnt had that luxury, he hasn’t had the luxury of a stable coaching system either.
But dumb is dumb no matter where you go to brooks cannot change that, over the years seen so many stupid mistakes under pressure, have always supported brooks but totally over him now. Just waiting for hastings to hopefully finally move him on
