excusesfor years it is the centres fault we change centres same thing he is a defensive liability
time to try new wingers we havent made semis for 9 years and nofo seems to be a constant in that period.
Missed the finals 9 years in a row and it’s the wingers fault. Good one.
nah, its also Brooks fault. Going into his 7th year of potential. He's only played 130 games, he'll come good in a few more years. ?
He already is good
by 'good' do you mean bog average?
Yawn, tell me something I haven’t heard the last 5 years. Be original.
"yawn" pretty much what the opposition does when Brooks gets the ball in attack.
Acknowledges years of garbage and still thinks Brooks is a good halfback. 0 and 6 seasons as a half back leading his team to finals footy. A real champion, any other team with any sort of standards and he'd have played 30 games at most. Pretty obvious when the 'big 4' were available, not a single club was looking at signing Brooks so he clung to the Tigers like dags on a sheep. Without a decent half back, Tigers will never make the finals.
#facts
Prince 05 finals
Johnny 'Cronk" Morris 07-09 nothing
Rob Lui 10' 11' finals
Miller/Moltzen/Anasta 12' 13' - putrid
Brooks 14-20 garbage
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
When the 'Big 4' fiasco was happening.... Melbourne made Brooks and offer and wanted him to join the Storm.
You are just making things fit your "Anti Brooks" agenda.
Say what you like about Brooks but keep to the facts at least.

..........and no, a random twitter account doesnt count.
Mate! I am not going back a couple of years searching for information.
It was fact at the time. Guarantee it. I am sure others on here would or could back this fact up.
So i guess we will just take your word for it. however, I do remember Brooks said that he never ever wanted to leave the Tigers because he knew he was a bog average first grade half back and couldnt get a better deal anywhere else. Guarantee it. I am not going back a couple of years searching for information. It was fact at the time.
Brooks has said he wanted to stay at the Tigers , but not for the reason you've stated
But he was definitely chased by Melbourne ...never heard the Dogs rumour but doesn't mean it didn't happen
Brooks was our best in 2018 and probably just pipped by Matterson in 2019
When our forwards play well you can see Brooks potential ....I just pray that one day we can get a few real quality back rowers and a bit of speed out wide for him and see what he is capable of
If he had come along a few seasons earlier we win a premiership in 10 or 11
If he had come along a few season earlier we dont make the finals.
Yes because Robert Lui was easily far better than Luke Brooks
Now you get it, thats the difference, a pretty decent half back versus a bog average half back that after 6 years of leading a team has zero finals appearances to show for it. Well done.
