No way Brooks is ahead of Townsend, not even close, and Nikorima is a Brooks clone, does something good followed by garbage, and most are rating him last or close to it

@851


100% agree townsend is a whole league above brooksie

 

[boonboon]

the one i had down near the bottom but with i think real potential to climb is Lach Lewis - he has everything you want in a halfback for mine just needs a better team around him and could be anything

 

[Zach]

@boonboon he is a gun

or will be one for sure

16. Brooks

Couldn’t be arsed typing the rest !

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I don’t remember a time where halfback stocks throughout the competition have been so weak. They all have blinders here and there, but none are consistent. Brooks would be somewhere in the middle.

 

[2005magic]

If we look to move Brooks to another position, I agree no great standout prospects amongst current regular halfback in NRL. Are there any up and comers in the ISP comp or even ESL to target with offer?

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Cronk
DCE
Reynolds
Green
Townsend
Morgan
Pearce
Cleary
Moses
Hunt
Croft
Taylor
Brooks
Lewis
Nikorima
Sezer

@GNR4LIFE

I rate Brooks above average, but as you say, that's more a reflection on the weak field than anything.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

@Spud_Murphy That's probably a fairly reasonable assessment Spud.

 

[AL The Tiger]

@Spud_Murphy That's probably a fairly reasonable assessment Spud.

Brodie Croft and Mitchell Pearce better than Brooks?

 

[851]

Brodie Croft and Mitchell Pearce better than Brooks?

Croft I agree, but Pearce is better than Brooks

 

[Swordy]

Love some of these rankings. There is clearly a real good bunch of weed hitting the streets at the moment.

I'd love to see some of these halves behind the Tigers pack. I wonder how Cronk, DCE, Hunt or others would go behind our 6 frontmen? I also wonder how Brooks would go behind the Roosters pack or Melbourne.

Brooks is way better than some give him credit for. He is not robotic and he may be guilty of trying stuff outside his comfort zone because he bloody well has to.

He would be in the Top 6. Someone ranked Ash Taylor higher. Gee whiz, he is a fat lazy albeit natural gifted waste of space.
