Hows the experienced Admin going.

We complain over and over again about how bad our experienced Admin are going.
Then complain about letting a person without experience into the position,
When the available ones have all failed at other clubs.
Is that who you would accept, failed Admin.

Over someone with little or no experience.

I would prefer someone who could learn how to do the job, rather than someone who has already failed elsewhere.

It’s excuse #278 as to why Luke Brooks has been a piss poor excuse of a first grader for almost a decade. Kindly brought to you by the Brooks fanbase aka the pond scum of the Wests tigers fanbase.

He should be semi decent playing alongside DCE and Turbo but then again, I thought he’d do well this year. Not only is his kicking game piss poor but also his long and short passing. Pretty essential attributes for a halfback I’d think we all agree.

If he was half the player his fanboys claimed he is, he should’ve done well behind the forward pack in the first half of the season where they were top 4-8 in every tangible indicator. No doubt the pack fell off in the second half of the season but you can hardly blame them when you’re laying a platform for your playmaker and your halfback is producing the usual garbage.

You.are a poet. Maybe its the fanboys? Great reply. Well.though out.
 
A lot of people predicting brooks will be good at Manly. I don't see it. His issue is decision making and reading the game. He also is inconsistent in both kicking and passing. He rarely throws a cut out pass, and somehow always takes the wrong option on short balls to forwards or passing to the backline. You just can't hide those things.

Personally, I think Arthurs is a much better foil to DCE. Smart player with good kicking and passing. I don't understand what manly is doing.

I'm also loving the DCE defending brooks headlines and brooks talking about the fresh start over there. So glad we don't have to put up with them. Remember Owen craigie's perpetual offseason headlines about weight loss and reform? Can't wait for brooks to just be 'enjoying his football' and being 'freed up to play my game' and loving the 'lack of pressure'. Such a weak attitude, the guy hates grit.

cmon, Toa would not make the top 13 for most sides in the comp, and especially wouldn't come remotely close to the grand finalists.

As a backup player he may make some rosters but most clubs have far more backline talent than us. He's lazy, defence poor and not fast enough.

How many centres could make the amount of tackle breaks he did this season with the constant terrible ball he received ?
He was very rarely one on one with his opposing centre, when he was he generally beat them.
Johnny regularly running him out of room and offering no attacking threat inside of him.
He would walk into the Broncos or Panthers starting line ups in 2024 without a problem.
He makes Jesse Arthurs look second rate.

My point was initially raised as a way of countering someone saying that there is “no talent on the market”…I do get a bit tired of hearing this…

The three players were not really big names previously … and were signed relatively cheap…

They may not be the best players like AFB or Johnson… but I believe they have played their part in their success this year.

You mention Martin - TMM? … what did he do this year? …And Dylan Walker? He didn’t play as well as these three this season…

These guys turned out to be three above average players,,, I think you are underestimating them

TMM has been a barely noticeable everywhere he has been -health issues aside- regardless of the position he plays.

if Star can get a full preseason as first choice right centre and get used to Sezer and Bateman inside him we could see him explode. key for him is consistency and combinations.

I think it's important to pair the right styles together. Bateman and Toa are both early ball players, so they probably should be on opposite sides. Having both on the same side really limits the halves options. You always need a hole runner. Toa with Paps and Reilly with Bateman works better IMO.
