Prediction

[TIGER]

Brooks will be remembered as an overhyped halfback and won't have a long nrl career.

 

[marzie]

[Justo]

And you'll be remembered as. Well. Probably won't be remembered at all.

I think Moses is a better player at this point but Brook was great last week. Who knows how it will turn out.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

we had them tonight - what are you's talking about??????

 

[tig_prmz]

Idk about how good his career will be but he will have a long career for sure.

He has just had so many expectations on him that anything less than 10 premierships and 3 world cups will look like a failure.

And that's fine with me, but maybe I'll be remembered as the one who called brooks a dud cause I'll find this post and remind you of it when it happens. I've seen more from Jack bird in 2 games than I have of Brooks. The thing is just like Benji you guys will make excuses for as long as you can before being forced to admit he's average, he's another Jarrod Mullen his defense is woeful and you can throw stats at me all you like but I know what I'm seeing and it's poor. I'll happily eat my words and I hope I'm forced to but if anyone on here thinks Brooks is living up to his potential I'd like to hear your reasons why.

Never mind that people rated Brooks' debut as one of the best in modern times. I was very impressed by Bird, but I'll wait until he has a sample size similar to Brooks before I judge.

Well I've seen enough of Brooks to make an early call, and in the little I've seen of Bird I can see already he's miles ahead of both Brooks and Moses physically, athletically skillfully and even just football nouse and instinct.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

you're not wrong there -

but different backgrounds

wait till we click

then we can talk more

 

[Flippedy]

I hope you're wrong about Brooks, Tiger, I'm willing to give him more time to develop, but Ben Hunt is the halfback I wouldn't mind here at the Tigers - he is Andrew Johns MkII

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

you can have him

 

[Flippedy]

you can have him

He'd be handy, don't you think?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

we have someone who can drink water but

He's still thirsty waiting in State Cup.

[AmericanHistoryX]

or that bloke that started a thread bagging brooks in 2015.

just like that thread on LU about the wooden spoon heading to campbo at the start of 05.

 

[krayola]

Benji was average huh? Since 2013 perhaps.

But from 2005 - 2011 the guy did more freakish things on the football field than 95% of the players he played with or against. Yes, he made his share of glaring mistakes but if he was average then I'd like to know who you think was above average?

This thread has a very Benji feel to me….

God forbid at 20 he's a dud....I really don't understand some in our supporter base...
