time to try new wingers we havent made semis for 9 years and nofo seems to be a constant in that period.


Missed the finals 9 years in a row and it’s the wingers fault. Good one.


nah, its also Brooks fault. Going into his 7th year of potential. He's only played 130 games, he'll come good in a few more years. ?

He already is good

by 'good' do you mean bog average?

Yawn, tell me something I haven’t heard the last 5 years. Be original.

"yawn" pretty much what the opposition does when Brooks gets the ball in attack.

Acknowledges years of garbage and still thinks Brooks is a good halfback. 0 and 6 seasons as a half back leading his team to finals footy. A real champion, any other team with any sort of standards and he'd have played 30 games at most. Pretty obvious when the 'big 4' were available, not a single club was looking at signing Brooks so he clung to the Tigers like dags on a sheep. Without a decent half back, Tigers will never make the finals.

#facts

Prince 05 finals
Johnny 'Cronk" Morris 07-09 nothing
Rob Lui 10' 11' finals
Miller/Moltzen/Anasta 12' 13' - putrid
Brooks 14-20 garbage

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

When the 'Big 4' fiasco was happening.... Melbourne made Brooks and offer and wanted him to join the Storm.

You are just making things fit your "Anti Brooks" agenda.

Say what you like about Brooks but keep to the facts at least.

21st February 2020. Mark it down. The day the Brooks bashing began for this season. Bloke hasn’t even laced up a boot yet. Wow

Havent seen a game since 2014? It should never stop.

Respectfully disagree - a lot!

I dunno, id just prefer if we had a half back that could win a game every now and then.

I don’t want to get into a to and fro with you because it will achieve nothing. I think Brooks is consistently one of our best. His defence is outstanding, short kicking game exceptional. Short passing game is good (not great) and his running game is dangerous. Our win/loss ratio is not on him alone. He has to take some responsibility. Maybe 1/17th responsibility. That’s my opinion and I accept you have yours.

Ok Chief, believe what you choose to believe - myself I prefer fact over fiction.

By the way, Brooks has never thought he was bog average.
 
@Russell

I remember the Tigers wanting to offload Brooks in a chance to get Cronk. Thats what was reported at the time and probably what you are mis-remembering or you are remembering some nuffties twitter feed.

Missed the finals 9 years in a row and it’s the wingers fault. Good one.


nah, its also Brooks fault. Going into his 7th year of potential. He's only played 130 games, he'll come good in a few more years. ?

He already is good

by 'good' do you mean bog average?

Yawn, tell me something I haven’t heard the last 5 years. Be original.

"yawn" pretty much what the opposition does when Brooks gets the ball in attack.

Acknowledges years of garbage and still thinks Brooks is a good halfback. 0 and 6 seasons as a half back leading his team to finals footy. A real champion, any other team with any sort of standards and he'd have played 30 games at most. Pretty obvious when the 'big 4' were available, not a single club was looking at signing Brooks so he clung to the Tigers like dags on a sheep. Without a decent half back, Tigers will never make the finals.

#facts

Prince 05 finals
Johnny 'Cronk" Morris 07-09 nothing
Rob Lui 10' 11' finals
Miller/Moltzen/Anasta 12' 13' - putrid
Brooks 14-20 garbage

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

When the 'Big 4' fiasco was happening.... Melbourne made Brooks and offer and wanted him to join the Storm.

You are just making things fit your "Anti Brooks" agenda.

Say what you like about Brooks but keep to the facts at least.

Citation needed

..........and no, a random twitter account doesnt count.

Mate! I am not going back a couple of years searching for information.

It was fact at the time. Guarantee it. I am sure others on here would or could back this fact up.

So i guess we will just take your word for it. however, I do remember Brooks said that he never ever wanted to leave the Tigers because he knew he was a bog average first grade half back and couldnt get a better deal anywhere else. Guarantee it. I am not going back a couple of years searching for information. It was fact at the time.

Ok Chief, believe what you choose to believe - **myself I prefer fact over fiction**.

By the way, Brooks has never thought he was bog average.

Youve never let evidence and facts get in the way before, why start now?

I remember the Tigers wanting to offload Brooks in a chance to get Cronk. Thats what was reported at the time and probably what you are mis-remembering or you are remembering some nuffties twitter feed.

It was no offload to get Cronk and nothing to do with twitter.
 
Brooks had an offer from the Storm when he took up his option in 2016...He had an offer from the Dogs when he re-signed in 2017....Maguire then extended his contract at the end of 2018 with a year to run until 2023..
 
Yeah let’s have a go at our back to back player of the year. Definitely all his fault we haven’t made finals and not the fact we’ve had rubbish coaches, a bang average roster for years and he’s been playing behind incredibly weak forward packs

Brooks finally got a half decent team to play with (not even a great team) for the last two years and got player of the year twice. Definitely has things to improve on but to blame all our missed finals years on him is ludicrous

Hit the nail on the head. Still, it won't suit the agenda of some, they're too busy looking for the next John Morris.

Brooks has said he wanted to stay at the Tigers , but not for the reason you've stated

But he was definitely chased by Melbourne ...never heard the Dogs rumour but doesn't mean it didn't happen

Brooks was our best in 2018 and probably just pipped by Matterson in 2019

When our forwards play well you can see Brooks potential ....I just pray that one day we can get a few real quality back rowers and a bit of speed out wide for him and see what he is capable of

If he had come along a few seasons earlier we win a premiership in 10 or 11
 
I see everyone is making excuses for Brooksy. And blaming the rest of the team for his form. I don’t understand that? Brooksy is one of the better 7s in the nrl. I think this will be the year he shows he can grab a game and turn it. Change the momentum of a game. He certainly has all the skills and now he has the benefit of maturity and experience.
I’m tipping Brooksy to be very close to getting a blues jersey.

And another thing.. with the quality of our 6&7 and their combination our backs will have a field day.

I'd love to see Brookes play origin, but precious Nathan will always be the blues half unless injured.
