Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing

[Nordburg]

NO

You can see why Tigers never made the finals with Brooks as half back.

Schiit.

He’s had to play a lone hand due to the coach’s selection

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

Let's put the bomb up Brooks. One trick pony.
Didn't kick to Saab's wing once wtf?

 

[bringbackbeaver]

He’s rubbish Brooks. Total trash.

 

[XV-1]

He’s had to play a lone hand due to the coach’s selection

Brooks played no hand.

 

[ando]

Horrible.

 

[Ohgeez]

What a woeful decision to play without a halfback tonight. Siebolds worst decision so far IMO. Saving Humphries because we had a weak pack? Give me a break, we had just as much metres as them but nothing going on it attack.

 

[KNUCKLES]

If your Jamie humphreys, you must be asking what you have to do to get a run.

 

[SeaEagle21]

He has been pretty ordinary last few weeks but tonight he was just plain $hit, deadset plays one side of the field and just puts up bombs on one side only and hope for the best. That was his chance to really stand up and was really disappointing.

Needed to chance his arm in the final 20mins to try and get some points on the board.

Have to change things up for when DCE game 3 is on.

NO

Schiit.

He was ordinary tonight.

I can cop the loss, I never expected us to win. I thought we defended well and gave 110% but an experienced half should have guided us around the field better. Why was he posted exclusively down the right as well? We’ve got a winger playing 6 tonight so why not roam around and help out…???

He’s had to play a lone hand

He didn’t play his hand though. A lone hand would have involved him taking control. He sat back and bombed or tried to throw long balls to marked players on the edge in the wet…terrible game from him.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Disappointing from Brooks, he didn’t step up and control the ball.

 

[bob dylan]

I thought he would shine tonight.

 

[XV-1]

I thought he would shine tonight.

Tigers thought that for 10 years

 

[HK_Eagle]

If your Jamie humphreys, you must be asking what you have to do to get a run.

If your Jamie, you’d be very open to an opportunity elsewhere

 

[joeboy]

He was insipid tonight, looked and played like he was resigned to losing. An experienced winner would’ve identified we were in that game and had a crack. Instead he played out his 80 minutes along the path of least resistance. He is not made of the right stuff this guy

 

[JenEagle]

Woeful performance from Brooks and absolutely what we should have expected based on his ten years at the tigers.

 

[DanielLehi888]

He tried his guts out but he is no DCE. Not even close.

 

[JakeyB789]

Was never going to perform tonight with a second rower as his halves partner. But a few on here were praising Seibold for making such a great defensive decision and here we are scoring zero ****ing points. If you praise mediocrity that’s what you are going to get.

 

[JBW]

I felt like a tigers fan from the last decade tonight.

Ok, he was drawn a pretty short hand with no secondary playmaker. But he was just too predictable. Even the commentators were literally taking the pis$ out of his predictability late in the game.

I like him as a running number 6, but once he's asked to steer the ship, you see his shortcomings.

I still like him as a signing, but Talau is proving the best signing we got from the Tigers IMO.

 

[double hoops]

Wow. Just wow.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Brooks goes very well in our full side , DCE on one side , Tommy up the middle and Brooks on the other.

The expectation that he was going to be our saviour tonight , with that team , is unrealistic.

You can knock him until the cows come home , but at least look at what he’s done to date with our full side and not cherry pick one game with about 65% of our salary cap sitting on the sideline.
