The more I see of Brooks the more I think he is a winger at NRL level rather than a halfback. He is lightning quick as he was a former sprinter. He appears to get lost in the middle of the field. He has shown in the past he can cause more damage with his speed out wide then in the middle of the park. I think this would be a better idea then offloading him to another club and still paying most of his salary. Afterall he is a local junior. Probably worth the experiment since the season is basically done.

Waiting for someone to suggest he move into the back row.

As a lock only, I don't think he is a 2nd rower.

And we’ve already got Talau and Joey Leilua in the 2nd row anyway.

He is half the size of Cam Murray so i suppose we could only expect him to be half as good.

Give him a shot at hooker, he can tackle and has that stocky hooker build. He's not smart enough to be half or 5/8.
 
I was thinking centre actually.....he is better defensively than any other centre we have and would not have the pressure of having to lead the team around and live up to all the hype that he has been saddled with in the past. Worth a shot with our season gone and Madge set to experiment for next season. Nothing to lose!
