Been saying that Garner needs to pull his finger out since the comp resumed, he’s half the player he was last year, doesn’t run hard anymore, doesn’t hit hard anymore.
Don’t know what’s happened to him

Reynolds facing two weeks with the early plea. Guess that solves one issue for Madge.
Benji will be wearing the 6 for sure and probably for the rest of the season. Big question is whether they drop brooks or not.
Honestly I don’t see it happening. He was poor and has offered little in attack this year but don’t see Walters picked over him.
Brooks won’t be dropped but I’d like to see Benji and Brooks swap, Benji to 7 Brooks to 6. Brooks needs a wake up call.
Also if not Twal, then I’d like to see Benji sole captain for the rest of the year.

Give Walters the no7, can’t be any worse than the underachiever Brooks.
We also need a no1, Dooee isn’t a bad player but he’s just not a 1, adds very little in attack.
Imo he’s a 3,4.
We need some speed, we need an excitement machine at the back, we’ve got a sloth.Garner needs a rocket, he’s nowhere near the player he was last year, gone backwards.
This is the second post I have read of yours - saying AD is not a full back and that he is too slow. Fair enough that is your opinion.
However who is the replacement, all well and good saying no but I want to know who gets the yes.

Great confidence booster for the kid, 4 tries down his side because his Captain can’t defend.
You’d think having your Captain defending next to you would give you some confidence, not at the Tigers, not when Mbye is your Captain
@stevied said in Brooks.... what is he good for??:
Is it time to give Brooks a serious boot and drop him? Do we believe it’s going to improve his play long term? Do we still believe he is the answer at halfback? Will his dropping cause further erosion in his confidence because, it’s obvious that he is a confidence player.
Personally, I’d replace him with Madden, who showed glimpses of class in the trials. He can pass, has a kicking game and, isn’t he also a goal kicker? Let Benji come back in to provide the experience and see what happens. I really don’t think we are going to make the eight, especially with the injuries, suspensions and limited depth. We may as well see what we’ve got and try some things. The other approach, of course, is to persevere with Brooks, Reynolds and Mbye and play the averages. The team is at least competitive in every game but, is this the right approach when trying to keep an eye to the future?
Yes
Probably not
No
We need
- A Captain
- A no7
- A no1
- A kicker
Anybody with speed, where have all the quick men gone in this game?
We have no attacking threats, none of our outside backs can stand up their opponent and burn them with footwork and speed.
We’ve got no threat out the back either so that puts more pressure on our outside backs because the defence doesn’t have to worry about it

Get prepared for our season new low, I can see the Broncos rolling us.
