Adam didn't seem to get the ball enough in the last 15 minutes. Looked good when he was leading the charge. Main takeout for me is we have a good half for next year it seems so we know who our halves will be.

He was never in charge ! Like at all !

All the try assists after Benji came from him. I don't believe Brooks got one assist did he? Adam threw mad wide passes. I like the look of him ?

You don’t get a try assist if you’re first receiver in a block play mate. Literally where a 7 has played since round 1,1908. I swear some of you have never played footy before , because of you did , you would know who actually is running and organising the team whilst your out there

You're right. It was Brooks job to organise the team and close it out. Thanks for the lesson.

Yep, just like your mate Benchi never could.

I don't think Brooks also not being able to do it is a win for anyone. I don't hate Brooks. I made a post saying I'm happy to see Adam might be creating lots of attack next year. People can be a bit toxic. ??? Anyway. Shame Benji couldn't play but like I said happy to see Adam play great and Talou also.

Nah it’s not that . There is an agenda on here basically blaming brooks for everything , because people wanted him to be Andrew Johns , and it turns out he’s not one of the top 10 greatest players to ever play the game.
And some like me , hate seeing , a loyal , above average true tiger get treated like that , when half the stuff said is not true

I understand ? All good. Good signs tonight with the pair

And he did. He laid on the match winner for Garner , Garner went for the glory instead of trying to hit kepoa . But your right , it wasn’t brooks who saved the fergo try . It was definitely him who lazily didn’t move up off the line creating space for a skill player to step inside , and score the try .
Line

That ball should have really gone to AJ.

The one from Garner ? Or brooks ?

 

[Strider]

Garner is not garnierscore much often. Sorry that was bad 😂 He is no star.

Garner - he could have drawn and passed instead of skip to the outside.

Yep ? AJ was there screaming onto it . He backed himself I get that .

Young AJ continues to impress

The kid can play. Fast and powerful hopefully nails that left wing spot down next season. It’s a good looking back line just need to find a fullback and fix the forwards/defence

AJ was half a step behind which is why I think Garner chose to hold it.

Adam is definitely future captain material, 5/8 & i liked the way that he really has high expectations with his goal kicking. The latter, I'm sure he's only been working on it of late with his leg injury for most of the season. I think he is our 1st choice goal kicker next year

Will Smith

Turning point was when garden gnome kicked on the 1st

He kicked into space behind the defence when the outside backs were calling for the kick, then they put no effort in to chase it.

I am sure you have said that Brooks doesn't take enough risks and plays too safe.

Are you sure the outside backs were calling for it ?
They didn’t have a clue !
Even Bwaife said it was dumb ..

Nah it’s not that . There is an agenda on here basically blaming brooks for everything , because people wanted him to be Andrew Johns , and it turns out he’s not one of the top 10 greatest players to ever play the game.

It's quite pathetic how some people on here treat our players. It's disrespectful, and in most cases, wrong. We should be supporting our players 100%, but there's a select few that go on, and on, and on.....

They had their hands up pointing then seemed to stop just as he kicked it.

using Anasta to back you is a desperate move :grin:

That’s absolutely correct. Chee Kam called for the kick then as soon as Brooks went to kick it he stopped his run. Looking at the replay just now he would have scored untouched if he didn’t pull up.

It was a dumb play on the first play
Really dumb ..
No excuses unless Brooks is clinically deaf and didn’t hear the siren ..
I’m not the only one who called it out ...
Have a read on the live game thread .

I think the frustrating thing from tonights game is that when we held the ball and dominated possession, we caused some real problems. Our big problem is defending mistakes and defending consistently across the course of the game. Defensive structure obviously needs an overhaul but defence is an attitude as well, and the players really need to have a good hard look at themselves there.
