WESTS Tigers Team V Cowboys...

[Tacky]

Tui's going to have to take control of the team. Good test for him.

 

[Geo]

Littlejohn will play if Brooks is out…

I seem to remember earlier in the year a quite a few were calling for Littlejohn to replace Brooks permanently..

Jack Littlejohn will save us…

 

[will1999]

at least there will be a forward on the bench

 

[Fraze23]

I wonder if this is the reason Sironen was picked. There's every chance he could play 6 and Tui 7\. He's been playing 5/8 in reggies, not in the forwards.

 

[Madge]

Jack littlejohn will slot in at halfback and sironen will come on for MM throughout the game and play a bit of dummyhalf

 

[Tacky]

Brooks and Felise drop out. Littlejohn named at halfback.

Brooks out doesn't really make me feel any less confident.

 

[will1999]

just put Ava on i don't care if he's leaving better than Edwards

 

[Tacky]

Brooks out doesn't really make me feel any less confident.

We've only won 1 game without Brooks this season and Moses played that game.

That's not much of a stat considering how many games we've actually won.

 

[will1999]

Cooper in Coote still extended bench

And you conveniently overlooked that the game we won without Brooks was against the Cowboys and JLJ was the halfback.
Funny that.
Better luck trolling dogs fans.

I don't remember Littlejohn contributing very much for the win, it was all Moses. Littlejohn has got to be one of the least creative and talented halfbacks in the game. It's seriously demoralizing watching him play.

Correct. We've already beaten the Cowboys without Brooks this year. That's why i said him being out doesnt lessen my confidence.

But, we had Moses on one of his good days. So, unless Tui carries us and has a blinder, Brooks being out lessens my confidence a great deal.

Back then we needed Moses or Teddy to play a blinder to win us a game.
.I just think now we are more of a team. Our attitude across the team will be what gets us in the game. If we need someone to do something late in the game to secure the win then i don't think it would have been Brooks anyway.

Our forwards can run all day but, if our halves don't back them up with good kicking and game management it won't make a difference. Say what you will about Brooks but, he runs most of the plays that get us points.

I think Tui has been just as influential. I'd rather Brooks wasnt out but it won't hurt us that bad.

Here's hoping….
