The Brooks move is done guys! Official announcement incoming.
Interesting discussion point regarding a half having a kicking game.Difference is Hunt and Townsend always had good kicking games and were intelligent players. They also more often than not take the correct option. They're also very strong communicators which is the halfs main job. Brooks is mute
I’ll believe it when I see it’s officially announcedThe Brooks move is done guys! Official announcement incoming.

Oh not again!!48 hours ?
Agree, Benji and Prince ---- Hastings and AD, like comparing Ferraris to Combie vans.I always reckon the same but if you take a look at the 2005 GF backline it isn't really full of noted speedsters out wide. Brett Hodgson, Daniel Fitzhenry, Paul Whatuira, Shane Elford, Pat Richards, Benji Marshall, Scott Prince. The two fastest players in that team were the halves probably. Hodgson no slouch but not electric either and the outside backs were not quick at all. The difference being they all had the knack of being in the right place at the right time and played pretty flat which makes players look faster by taking time away from the defence. That team played up tempo footy without having speed to burn. Fast hands, fast between the ears, unpredicatable and a smaller, creative, mobile pack made the difference. A fast team without noted individual speedsters.
Hope Kenny can overcome his knee, blokes a real weapon even with one leg he was one of our better playersThere are words/rumours going around that Ken Maumalo might be forced to call it a day due to knee problems .. ?? So Jimmy (age 22) can slot in there, when and if Ken leaves .. ??
Dont worry about Jimmy Ngutlik not having played enough .. if he's got the talent and ya think he's good enough .. the Sheenius will give him a crack .. just like he did with this school kid they called .. Benji .. !!
And a greatly underestimated aspect in regards to 6 and 7.I want to see Hastings and AD given a chance. Everyone talks about them being slow but Brooks is quick and we've been terrible for years on end.
I'd prefer all our players to be quicker but it's only one aspect of playing footy.
Only 1 I can think of is the great Shane Perry Western suburbs Magpie legend and Brisbane Broncos 2006 number 7 grand final winner besides that I struggle to think of a half as bog average but he played in a absolutely cracking teamAnd a greatly underestimated aspect in regards to 6 and 7.
Still sitting on the fence Earl,? Tell me how many good or great sides had slow halves?

Man Ill be filthy if they let Hastings go. It makes absolutely no sense to me.
