Brooks is much more level headed than Walker though.
Thanks for the heads up Merlot, I'll see if I can go back and have a look on foxtel 👍
My biggest concern LTF is not having a utility on the bench, unless Brown can play half.
I am pretty sure in the Nu Brown thread someone said he’s played 1-6, SRF and Hooker.
Very true whereas Brookes is sometimes too passive with initiative (5th tackle up and under kicks for example). A balance betwixt both types would be perfect.
Well said, just think we would see him flourish there. Big time. He’d be much more of a Cronk/Finch type half although the latter had limited success down south.
Unfortunately.
That's not entirely what I meant.
Halves are never guaranteed commodities. We need to hold hope that Madden would indeed be a Bellamy type; which, by the way, was meant as an indication to the player attitude that he prefers. Brodie Croft seemingly had all the talent and just never improved whether through mentally not being engaged or not putting in the required work.
Luke Brooks at five-eighth:
I don't need stats thrown at me. I've watched him play every week for 8 years. He tries hard but it isn't enough. His first half against Souths earlier this year is why he isn't up to it. He's played like that more often than not.
If the stats aligned with your narrative then you would catch them.
Cool, so you admit you don’t care if he is playing well or not, you’ve already made up your mind. I think you’ll find though that the coach does care and he’ll keep selecting him.
The more Hastings and Brooks play together,then both will be very important to our team,these 2 can bring our attack up another level...5/8 is where Brooks should have always been,it is now showing in his games that the pressure is off as the main leader and Hastings has taken the role with confidence and aggression...
