Luke Brooks 150 games

[The Rosco]

Double post but also, lol

Listen Ash . . . just because your avatar is one of my favourite scenes in the movie, don't be taking liberties matey.
Moses was always the better player than Brooks. Most of us said it. We knew that Brooksie had his vast limitations. Everyone knows it now.
But here's the thing . . . Mitchy also is a tanking, heartless cat who skiis extremely well in the downhill direction.
He has an apparently endless supply of toys in his cot . . . coz no matter how many he throws, he still has heaps of them.
He loves to blame his team mates for anything he does wrong.
Now I know that you and rhyno and Wittyfan will disagree . . . but that's what we reckon in sad depressed WT town.

There are definitely people on this forum and in this thread who said this shit. They were still saying it during the recent off season.
It goes a fair way to show how this bloke made 150 NRL games. He is rated for no reason. I find it baffling.
Had he made his debut for any other club, he wouldn’t have made 50.

Blame Fittler and his bum buddy Joey bongs.

Anyone who kills it in lower grades is put on a pedestal by those two and the masses get sucked in

 

[benched tiger]

That pair are an annoying pain in the arse, when you put up with Braith on Foxtel instead of watching the football on Ch 9 speaks volumes of the insight they provide.

 

[Ron's_Mate]

Wonder how many games he would have lasted if at the Roosters?

Yes I do agree. Those two talk guys up well past the time they don’t reach the bar that they set for them. Snozza Daley and Brandy do it as well.
The fans are the worst though. Especially in clubs like ours, where we are starved for success. People are already calling Daine Laurie a ‘star’. It’s far too premature and he doesn’t need added pressure.

 

[Choiboi]

How’s Stefano going for you blokes? Lol

Matto has been carving up for us

Looks more like he has been carving up his contract...

I really think it didn’t bother him at all the tripe about the teddy crap. This guy has got some class about him and will be glad to see him grow into the no1.
We just need the whole team to step up a notch at present. Let’s see if we can put 80 together. Cause it’s been a while since we have.

Here is a scenario:

As we get towards the end of the season, both Brooks and the club decide to part ways. Brook's manager has been putting out feelers, and a club in UK is willing to pay him a million a season for 4 year deal, starting 2022. In addition, the club decide to not take up the option for 2022 for BJ's contract, nor do we re-sign Packer. Including Reynolds contract, we now have 2 million spare. No other players are being moved on - Mbye will be here for 2022 and the club decide to re-sign Roberts and Liddle for another x years on a bargain deal.

You are now Adam Hartigan. What do you do? Who do you go after? etc

Too me Brooks is on his last chance this year. I don't think Madden is quite ready yet. The next 3 weeks are big for him. He needs some sort of reaction otherwise he will be dropped before the end of the year for good. In saying that he was actually playing to his strengths for the first 30min other then the 2 grubbers then he lost his way. Be interesting how the team is without BJ now. He is so bad to the whole team makes LL worse. The trial against Manly he wasn't there and the team looked so cohesive. Yes one player like him can derail a whole side. Literally every try came down that way against the roosters. Also in attack BJ ain't a centre no more he is nowhere when someone like Brooks/LL make a half break. If he was just there in support it would have been 18-18 at halftime. Then BJ also does dumb offloads, gives away penalties and six agains he literally in 2 weeks probably undone all the good work they were trying to do. Even one of the grubbers Brooks kicked dead he was running looking for a runner and no-one was within 20m so he panicked on the last and booted it rather then just tap it. I just think the team can only improve from here. If it's still bad then yeah no more excuses for Brooks.

 

[BrotherJim05]

I remember Garner and Brooks developing a solid combo, and the. LL moved to left edge to split up from BJ. I'd really like to see a left edge of Kepoa, Talau, Brooks and Garner and then just leave them there for 4 games. Even if they suck, just leave them there to see if they can build combinations.

Roberts is a right centre anyway so I don't see why he was named on the left. He was practicing with Nofo all summer so hopefully he stays there.

 

[Pistol_Pete]

Kepaoa should be nowhere near first grade he’s f**king dogshit

If we're searching for a halfback to replace Brooks at the end of the season, then we're in big trouble. It's not like there are bunch of quality halfbacks running around at the moment looking for a contract

Yep, you basically have to develop them because pretty much no good ones (Keary aside) have been bought from another club

Great post. Those grubbers were also the right option. He stuffed up the execution. I reckon he just has to relax and play footy. If he doesn't get it right though he will be gone. There aren't many good halves out there.

 

[Shredder]

Im just glad that the club understands we have a lack of depth in the halves.

It wouldnt surprise me through if we do get Hastings, that we release Walters to Brisbane.

 

[Tiger05]

He is a superstar.

 

[WA Tiger]

Ive got a feeling Hastings has zero interest of coming to WT and Madge will be holding onto Walters for dear life ..

We don’t need a quality half. Just one that has options on the 5th tackle 5m out with players outside him that doesn’t include dropping to the ground and crawling toward the line like a dog because he’s lost confidence in his own kick
