Its
Attack is all Hastings...Brooks adds nothing .. ,great defender that he may be
and dont even get me started on his kicking game!
Many of us feel Brooks has had more than ample opportunity to make a difference in attack but hasnt delivered,and both parties wld benefit from a fresh start at the Knights or elsewhere

Look up who has the most try assists for Wests Tigers past 5 years. It isn't even close. I do agree Hastings is a very important ingredient to the team and Brooks. But to say it's all Hastings and Brooks adds nothing is absurd

The hate talk of Brooks by some on here is so unbalanced and unreasonable its sickening isn't it. If you point out some positives about him your labelled a fan boy and its believed you death ride anyone who may take his spot. I would be deeply embarrassed to be one of those unreasonable pigs that talk about him the way they do.

Back end of the year showed we have zero attack without him and Hastings.

If Brooks went to Melbourne 4 years ago he would be better then Jerome Hughes
Just a same he has never had the chance to really shine

Hastings has been here one year and we went 4-20. I think he played okay but anyone claiming he can save us is cracking jokes. We need forwards.

Its the excuses for him that does my head in, no other half in the history of the game, or player for that matter have had as many chances as he has had to be a good player, it's way past time for him to go. He may kick on elsewhere, and I hope he does, so be it, he has had 9 years here to do it and failed, stop the bloody cycle

Time to remove the astrix from IPAP?

Will do tomorrow when I get back from holidays.

Maybe it would insure that Brooks kicked it out.
He fluffed a few this year and didn’t find touch.

Would probably still only make 10 metre gain.

That's the biggest hot take I've ever read.

We shouldn’t be keeping Brooks at all after next year. I don’t give a crap that he’ll cost 500K after season I would rather spend our cap on a genuine 7 than pay Brooks again just to fail.

Hey, what's your opinion on Brooks?

Brodie Croft was the Melbourne version - and he sucked!

Brooks and Croft are nearly identical players apart from Brooks having slightly better defensive ability

Hope we move him on. I wish him well elsewhere but he and the Tigers need to do something different.

 

[Odessa]

Mate he has natural talent I think the biggest problem he has had with his career is the west tigers coaching merry-go-round and lack of a good forward pack

Must be confusing so many coaches saying to play different ways you would forget your natural game and the Tigers pack is horrible and has been for a long time

That's the worst post i have ever seen. Croft and Brooks are not comparable at all. Different class all together

Have you actually watched them play ? Croft is a poor man's Luke Walsh

Spencer Leniu, blacker from Penrith, guys with mongrel and upside please.

Klemmer I’m not sold on but would get behind it.

I've heard we're front runners for Leniu because Penrith are looking to spend their cash on Blacker, who was also on our shopping list. Unless we get gazumped, I think Leniu will be at WT next year.

not a huge Staines fan but infinitely better for us than Peachy if it’s a swap

Not having a dig at you, but if the info isn't from the pom or cloudy glock then it isn't true.

Does anyone remember Conlon kicking for the sideline on penalties

Yes

i also remember Conlon winning a game at LO with a penalty 10 in from touch, 10 our own side of halfway. Kicked it into the stand ….

Unfortunately came here and played like a Wests tiger with too many spear tackles, errors and not enough ticker.

I think he definitely has the ticker.
