Can Brooks play fullback ?

T-Rex arms can’t play fullback

Several players came to the Dogs on the basis of playing under Trent Barrett. Naden, Matt Burton and certainly Jack Hetherington with Newcastle being front runners- Dave Ricco

Dont you mean went to the dogs? We are WT 😉

He should get that if we decide he is our no 1 full back.

Unfortunately he is our only fullback at the moment and 600k is too much for his current output.

 

[hank37w]

What about the small, slightly built Titans fullback?

Young Campbell can play.

Young Campbell can play.

The young fella legit looks like he's in 6th grade.

Playing well above his age group.

Douehi or Hastings to 13.

But would be scared to move Hastings from 7.

Will be interesting to see how AD and Hastings play together as both are dominant players.

You couldn't move Hastings to Lock. Leaves us without a halfback. Madden is still learning his trade and we don't have anyone else capable of playing 7

if Daine wants $600k minimum he's kidding himself. he's a world away from that amount of money. strung together two decent games after a month of poor footy and then has been injured ever since.

love the way he plays and has a very high ceiling but he's another contract away from commanding those dollars.

Fans have had enough of the loser culture.

Jacko got everyone excited cos he's a true winner.

Out with the old, in with the new.
Times are changing.

Jacko is winning the same percentage or worse

Yeah results haven’t really changed at all…we just look competitive for longer in games

Sign of a lack of class players

Laurie may not beat out Dykes for the FB spot, but, I’m a firm believer that he could replace Brooks.

LOL laurie’s front on defense in the line! Wow. Some suggestions on here pretty out there lately.

Campbell can play reminds me of his dad but unfortunately signed till 2025

People forget we’ve had seasons where we beat the storm and roosters. We’ve been alive on the last day of the season. We’ve put 50 on teams. Short memories these brooks bashers.

And if Brooks got man of the match it’s because the other team had an off day 😉

Manly fans aren't happy about the potential of Matt Lodge joining them

Laurie is worth $250,000 at best , he is no where near the the best 10 fullbacks in the comp . He needs to improve in many areas , if he can get more else where, see u later

No no no Hastings more suited to Lock, Brooks maybe could play FB, but the Brooks/Hastings combo is working too well to change. Doueihi at centre this yr, long term L or SR.

So u want Hastings at lock , who’s going to direct the team around the field then , we just started playing like a team with Hastings at 1/2 and now u want to move him , please get real

I like Laurie and I hope we keep investing in him as long as he is invested in growing and improving his game at the club.

That hasn't happened since Farah and Benji were playing for us. Since Brooks was 'given the keys' as he'd continually asked for, we'd been listless, rudderless and heartless. That's changed since Hastings got given the 7 and Brooks was demoted

I've noticed a few players nowadays with those shit things growing out the back of they're heads.
Is it a cultural thing to grow them or just a stupid fashion choice? Don't see many white players with them, mostly the islanders and a couple of the aboriginal lads.
Anyone know?
You'd think coaches would be against it.
