No idea, just one of the many excuses his fan club make for him on here.

That is a really cool story. Unfortunately it has no link to reality. In the first 15 minutes of that game, Luke Brooks passed one pass inside (at 5:13 match time), it was on the first tackle and he passed it to Stef. Not another single inside pass from Brooks in the first fifteen minutes of the game. Not a single "3 on 2" in the first 15 minutes of that game and the "good field position" that the forwards got us saw us down 10-0 at the 15 minute mark and we didnt hold the ball for a single tackle between the 7:44 and 15:50min mark.
Feel free to point out the time stamps of the 3 on 2 butchering.
But yeah....solid forward platform, Brooks butchering 3 on 2's and the rest of the team gives up.....

You can add to that the 77 Amco Cup, the Magpies beat the chickens 6-5 at Leichardt.

Agree. I'm by no means a Brooks fan, but regardless of poor performances or decisions I've never felt he hasn't been trying his best.
I also remember at least two games last season he had left side overlaps and to be fair, passed it perfectly both times for the try assist. I actually told my dad I thought he might be a better centre than halfback!
I was a bit serious too! We had the WORST centres last season (and every season going back how long...?!) and although a bit left field, he is fast, can defend pretty well and showed in those instances he has the ability to pass well in that situation.
Hopefully the centres are shaping up better for 23, so this would be ridiculous, but then... Sheens...

Geez, over 12% of the new cap on one player! I hope there are some TPA's in that.

Post 2023 Marshall has to okay new contracts. So both Sheens and Marshall want to extend his contract on a new deal mentioned by the former.

Nah, you need to go way past Maslow.
Yes his Hierarchy of needs is great, but it is a drop in the ocean.
Carol Szwek I don't get but her work is good.
Daniel Pink is AWESOME.
Seriously 10 minute video (animated) on Motivation. You will get his point so much better.
Unsure how it applies to Sport but it is the best motivation video I know.

Its also supportive of Maslow's theory, which is basically saying there's more to motivation than monetary incentive reward, "remove the speed bumps to reaching and maintaining peak performance." Moreso the self actualization of individuals who are free to achieve something beyond their own self improvement? Anyhoo... thats the way I see it?
Hope it's not 4 years then...

Another upgrade in my eyes, in saying that I don't mind Seyfarth he has a real dig but just don't think he will be a week in week out starter. Hope he proves me wring though. We have given spots to heaps worse players.

The great thing about seyfarth moving to super league for a few years is if he kills it we can just buy him back

We need to keep guys like Seyfarth for depth.
As good as the forwards in our top 17 players are, they will not play every game this year.
We don’t need Brown, we need some more backs.

Love this post. The Brooks bashers are so out of touch with reality. Criticism of him is fine, and often justified, but if they are going to carry on the way they do some evidence would be nice.That is a really cool story. Unfortunately it has no link to reality. In the first 15 minutes of that game, Luke Brooks passed one pass inside (at 5:13 match time), it was on the first tackle and he passed it to Stef.

If they extend him before he even is tested they are 100% idiots. Brooks did nothing last year that was worthy of an extension, only Joffa and Pole was worthy of it. Everyone that is off contract now should not be starting talks of staying until they prove they can play with the new pack. No club is going to be actively trying to pursue Brooks so Tigers should be smart and wait to see how he does, if he is still bad they go to look elsewhere and Brooks is moved on that’s how the strong teams recruit.

He cops it way too harshly but that doesn't mean he is a good option. We are offering a fortune to Moses because Brooks hasn't cut it.
I can't wait until the season starts.
He cracks under pressure way too much and does dumb stuff as a result. That’s the biggest issue mostly but the ones that do call him out have a right to. Some go to far but the criticism he cops is deserved.

I disagree a bit. Yes he takes wrong options and does dumb stuff a lot but so many halves go missing as well. He isn't great but he isn't a complete dud.
The problem is like that Canterbury game where he supposedly tanked. That was way too harsh criticism. There is no way that was his fault. If anything it shows how he has it tough.
I also think all the excuses are nonsense as well.
