We lifted when liddle came on

Brooks still sucks but that kick was on the dot for once

Doohey’s fades were special

Brooks did more than that in the second half when we had the ball...

He defended ok in the second half ...
He needs to go to @happy_tiger s school of TORP ...

Benji was a passenger all game

Pass for Mbye's TRY

1 from 200 isn’t too bad I suppose ...
But instead of pestering me about how brooks had one decent half all year go and give your mrs a tap on the shoulder ?

Rubbish ..it;s discussing,,,

Brooks is still crap
One good half every 17 games ain’t going to cut it for the next 3 years ...
And that’s my opinion.

Only as good as your last 40mins

In Brooks case the last 20.

Would you rather he didn't

Huth puts the kick in and we score under the post untouched

Brooks' game improved 100%. All he needed was confidence.

It didn’t for the first 60 minutes, he was horrid. The last 20 he was great and got us over the line.

Forwards were going backwards. A forward he has to babysit in defence. Brooks has a great shoert kicking game. But we need to get field position. The kicks on the third tackle were for that. Unfortunately we cannot defend them yet like the Storm can.

The forwards are not an excuse. Forwards can’t explain when the Wests Tigers make a huge break, of which Brooks was part of, and Grant gets tackled deep in the Manly half and Brooks is the closet player to the play the ball but instead of getting into dummy half, Brooks steps back, probably waiting for Grant to get to dummy half (Grant got tackled with the ball) and then Manly dive on the play-the-ball as there is no dummy half. Brooks is dead set missing a number of brain cells.

Last week Brooks got canned on this forum when we had 0 tackles in the Panthers' 20.

Our forwards were smashed first half and failed to lay a platform. Second half, Liddle with his bullt passing gets the forwards moving forwards. Brooks has space and two try assists. Brooks has one of the best short kicking games. He stepped up when needed.

Fox Sport can’t even give the Tigers a few minutes for post match interviews.

You’ll have to wait till the Canberra game is over and even then we’ll only get 30 secs

It was the SBW Foxtel sideshow.

Hopefully SBW cops a coat hanger then the media can stretch it out with a reason

Be even funnier if he doesn't get off the bench lol

Maybe he'll get a cramp sitting on the bench.

No, I’d rather he do it for 80 minutes.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

All of a sudden our left edge has some peri peri sauce. We're gonna need some Vandals in the forwards though.

Switch Garner to the lef to work with Brooks. Play McIntyre on the right. Leilua to interchange.

Switch Garner right out thanks!

Keep believing. Brooks was great for the last 20. Dead set brain dead before that. I want him to perform for 80 minutes, no excuses.

Well, I think we might have found ADs spot going forward and our goal kicker.

And our fullback, and our left winger

He was bad tonight
He’s been hit or miss this year

Brooks is a fine player for WTs. We need quality players and he is one we have in our colours.

Gee a 9/15 record over the next three years should pump his next contract to Fifita levels

Not at all, I’m ecstatic he did what he did in the last 20. I want and expect more from Brooks.

Switch him to left hitting the gap off Brooks. Both work well together.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Apart from Grant every one of their forwards outplayed every one of ours dramatically- not sure how we actually won!

The problem always was and still is our forwards.
Number 1 priority for Madge.

If Brooks plays like he did in the last 20, he’s our half for sure. But it needs to be an 80 minute performance.

 

[Madge]

Brooks played a bit of both sides as well which was good to see. Was also a bit more creative with ball in hand in his passes. The last month all he did was run. Mixed it up today and you could see that his running game became more decisive and instinctive.
