Some guys just put no effort when things get hard. Brooks deserves wherever he ends up. Probably a state cup player now. That's OK not everyone can make a good career. It is definitely not an effort thing too him cos even today he tried to run the ball alot and tried to get repeat sets but his execution is just bad. Where BJ and some others just switch off or don't try. A good example was once the roosters lost the ball and Mikaele could not be arsed to just bend down and pick it up and just run hard and just fumbled it as well. That shit pisses me off when guys getting paid well and are a fresh bench player already in their mind saying oh well it's our ball anyway. The Roosters on the other hand always try to push for every metre.

Assuming we don't find a halfback on the market ie Hastings, who would you replace brooks with ?
Are prepared for worse performances from someone who may be not ready ?
Would it do any good for that kids career

Benji is playing good at Souths
Maybe bring him back on a 1yr deal next year

Brooks to retain his spot. The whole spine retains their spot but they need to get it right.

So we were saying that Madge is putting the blowtorch on Brooks by putting him in the media spotlight and having to own the team and such.
Well, I hope Madge and co read the gameday thread, because it seems the entire rugby league community is aware of how shit Brooks really is.
Actually, every player should be forced to sit through a big screen presentation of each and every post in that thread.
Edit: except for rhyno's ones. They are unfunny and so don't count.

Yeah it’s all gone very wrong very quickly, even against elite sides.

What’s done is done and all we can do is learn from the experiences and try to fix them.

There are several areas for review and the issue of summarily standing down players.

Only the most ardent brooxit campaigner would attribute the catastrophe to Brooks alone, although he has to go, no question.

His performance adds considerable weight to approaches to Reynolds we are rumoured to be making. Could be a bit touchy given the good relations with Souths we’ve been enjoying.

Madge is under extraordinary pressure.

For a club with ambitions for the finals, it’s difficult to see us winning 3 or 4 games this season based on the first two rounds. That might be overly optimistic.

For mine, the lack of composure is the really frightening thing. No mental toughness. Panic and incompetence reigns supreme. This is not a first grade squad doing first grade things.

Times are indeed tough.

I think I can hang on until about three rounds with AD in the halfs. If it is still the same shit then it looks like I will be the last one to abandon ship on him.
Well I lasted 1 game. Sign me up for the oust Brooks campaign. Although the reality is as shit as he is there is no better halfback on our books for 2021.
