I mean, has Brooks ever played behind a good pack? Lol
Always rated Brooks a much better talent than Moses coming through the juniors.
He should’ve left the Tigers a long time ago, his development has suffered as a result.
I was going to mention that but I didn't want to be the one to put the mock on him.In addition to what everyone else has said I think the other good thing about Brooks is that hes rarely injured so hopefully that should bring some stability to our spine.
Hopefully this post doesnt come back to bite me BIHK style.
I’m now predicting a career ending injury during preseason. Rory Kostjaysn style.In addition to what everyone else has said I think the other good thing about Brooks is that hes rarely injured so hopefully that should bring some stability to our spine.

Lol and yet we've still made more finals series in that timeYou have to laugh ...the last 16 years your consistently world beating packs have earned 4 spoons...1 in every 4 on your own! and 2 during the time Brooks lame duck packs have not earned even one. Brooks will go ( very) well with Joey....quit while your ahead with that positive and forget about throwing the jabs...you've had the 8 count a few too many times. ( quote) LOL

Not sure what game it was last season, but he made a line break with no fullback in front of him and was easily run down. At his peak he would have gone all the way.We will definitely miss the leadership and intangibles of Pearce but IMO having halves that can move and take on the line is vital in this version of rugby league and Pearce was absolutely cooked in terms of mobility.
I think it's obvious Brooks isn't a dominant primary playmaker but I think can compliment Clifford
If I'm re m embering correctly he picked up a loose ball on his own 30 with no one in front of him, ran about 15 metres and kind of slowed down to look for support. At his peak I remember Pearce chasing down GI, these days he'd struggle to chase down the trainer to get a sip of waterNot sure what game it was last season, but he made a line break with no fullback in front of him and was easily run down.

Not sure if that's the one Knights Tales is talking about.. I remember late in the year him running for the line with plenty of space and just being chased down with ease.If I'm re m embering correctly he picked up a loose ball on his own 30 with no one in front of him, ran about 15 metres and kind of slowed down to look for support.

To be fair his lack of pace has been shown up on quite a few occasions now, who could forget the Broncos game when Farnworth put in a kick and about 4 Broncos players jogged past Pearce in the chase for the ballNot sure if that's the one Knights Tales is talking about..

That was the one. That was the definitive moment right there. That boy had plenty of toe once upon a time.If I'm re m embering correctly he picked up a loose ball on his own 30 with no one in front of him, ran about 15 metres and kind of slowed down to look for support.

I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning...I could be wrong but wasn’t Pearce’s first NRL try a long range intercept against us? I seem to remember it being at Gosford too. Someone feel free to look that up I could be way off the mark.
