When fit and on his game he is one of our best players . Hopefully he can find the form he showed at the start of the year .

They say the best ability is availability … dude gets injured a lot ..

 

[nrlsurvivor]

It’s a shame he got an injury to his arm, negating what his fend which was his greatest asset during his hot run of form earlier. Fingers crossed it’s a full recovery giving him confidence to swat defenders off.

Is he a better player than someone like Mawene Hiroti who I assume we could have signed at likely a lower cost ?

Brooks was great then. Hardly ever got injured.

Yes he is and that’s why he costs more.

Yes he is… did you not watch Toa earlier in the season ?

The gap between his best and worst is huge

His defence and on field resilience let him down.
I reckon we should get a good centre coach, maybe a defensive one.
We have 2 decent NRL centres in May, and Toa, and Mak coming through. Plus, as one of the guys in the junior threads has said, there is also a couple of good ones a bit younger again. We haven’t had NRL centres since the Gambler, about decade? I have serious doubts that Benji even remembers what a centre looks like let alone knows how to coach one. Hodgo is not teaching the art, then Morris? We have GI with the ladies, but every time I’ve see him interviewed he doesn’t look switched on.
We finally have some centres, let’s help them be the best.

I thought it was a lot closer this year though, I'm glad he's sticking around

Yes and I’ve also watched him for the past 2 months.
Let’s see how he goes today, no more excuses.

Ok.., did you approve of his play prior to the past 2 months ?

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Re-signed during the week, hopefully he has a cracka of a game

 

[Tcat]

Regardless of his injury, I still didnt see anything good from him today.

 

[weststigerman]

Still injured. Still has that arm heavily strapped and still ended up with a try assist in 50 odd minutes.

I’d sit him out for the rest of the year and have him ready for pre-season.

Makasini can have his chance if he’s fit.

 

[Winston Churchill]

3 game a year player. Wasnt good enough for the Knights. Hopefully those games are his 3 games he will play for back up injuries next year. Never want him sighted in a fully fit run on squad again.

Made a couple of good touches on Koula.

 

[426Tlgerland]

I think he has a shoulder injury looking at when he came off , and ice pack up high at front, end his season and get him fit , AD to stay at 7 rest of year and start next year at 7 , Latu is a long way off , needs time

The fact we extended now suspect we rejigged cash into this season so probably offset anyway.

I doubt his form over the last 2mths has created a price jump for him and he fielded a chunk of offers from teams.
