Ironically, he's played a big part in the coaching turnover because they all tried to fix him. It's not his fault he's not good enough but it's still true.

Potter and especially Maguire.

Is it Brooks fault Maguire got sacked from Souths also?

It's funny, Most here considered the Brooks "Fanboys" Or "Family"
are mostly labelled as such for debating stupid comments like this!!

Don’t get me wrong I respect him for giving us a premiership and finals bound. But he’s not that brilliant. The results he had after he left us is proof. We may not come last under him, but he won’t coach us to another finals series

You have like the rest of us, no bloody idea, what Sheensy will do in 2023.
He could very well form a very good team.
Who knows, I certainly don't, nor does anybody else, so lets see how we go next year Aye. If he fails, then we criticise, but not before they have played a match.

Looks i think brooks should move on, he’s had his chance. But to say he is the worst 7 ever let me just run some names by you -
Michael Gillet
Ben Duckworth
Shane dunley
Ben black
Ben Jeffries
Glen Air
Adam Tippett
Ben reynolds
Kieren Kerr
Jacob Miller
Josh Drinkwater

Just to make a few halves.

Surprised we didn't give lovett a run there.....

Not really considering our forward pack was better during that period. Todays roster yes but back then our whole roster was better to finish in 9th despite being coached by Taylor. If Cleary could get his team finals bound by 18 Brooks could’ve done it by 22 so its not ridiculous to compare.

Still rue Moses' missed field goal against the storm at leichhardt....

Flanagan is not on $600k, and the Dogs have been trying to move him on for nearly all this year

Around 600....
Zero tackle has him at 450k - Journos claiming he went from 450-500-550/600...
Either way....
My point is that's where the Numbers start.... Across the board.
NRL Halves don't come into top 30 at minimum wage - as much as everyone wants to claim they do, Or think they should

Flanagan has been on the outer - You're right.... Have you heard anyone lining up for him?
I certainly haven't.
 
Cant believe the hundreds of pro and anti Brooks posts . I believe the guy is a mixed bag . His tackling has improved over the years and he has a great turn of speed but his 5th tackle options always look rushed and indecisive but that has a bit to do with a pack that has no go forward and is on the back foot . His kicking game is at best ordinary .
In general I feel 9 years should be ample to make your mark and lock down that
No 7 jersey. Furthermore he is very structured last couple of years as opposed to instinctive eyes up footy . Maybe Sheens thinks he can change all that but
IMO I don't think so .
But what spine do we have
Laurie a small but gutsy fullback
Douehi can play 1, 3 ,4 or 6 I feel he is most value in centers given we are really lacking talent there
Hastings .he's main organiser on field and best place for that is at 7
even when he was at 13 he played like 2nd halfback .
If Brooks stays I would put him at 6 but keeping him is not my preference

Can you post the article with sheens stating this?

1/8/2022 · Sheens said it was his intention to keep Brooks and Doueihi together as the halves combination, with Jackson Hastings the ball playing lock. Sheens also has a good opinion of young Jock Madden but sees him as a work in progress given his limited experience. Newcastle coach Adam O'Brien is keen on Luke Brooks. Picture: NRL Imagery
