Maybe its readying for the DCE Origin absence.

Leaving Brooksy to run the show doesn't seem to fill the bill.

Brooksy and I are both sweating at the thought of him running the show

DCE seems to be checked out lately, but Brooks is not 'that guy'

This makes a lot of sense.

Agree. He never has been. And that was the whole point of getting him here, where he didn't have to be "that guy" and could play his natural game. But someone is at least going to have to do an impersonation of a leader when Origin absences kick in.

In the absence of Turbo, Jurbo and DCE, I've seen the leadership of Rueben Garrick stand out the most.

But since Garrick isn't in the halves, it's not clear who will direct our attack around the park.

It looks bleak but, Brooks will probably partner Matterson or Arthur in the halves.. eesh!

I get the feeling Seibs has taken Walsh up to NQ to get him amongst the squad in preparation for the Origin period just like he took Hoppa to Vegas.
My bet is that he starts at 5/8 next week vs the Eels with Brooks moving halfback.

Possible but certainly suggests he's being fast tracked.

Just being in the squad for game day is something many youngsters are given a few goes at before actually getting a run. He's played very little footy this year.

Definitely good to see though.

This is a good shout, definitely played more of a 6 roll in reserve grade while Wakeham did majority of the kicking last week

Finally some people all they do is read stats. The only stat that matters is the one you quoted is Humphreys a world beater? no but he the team functions and wins more when he plays.

If Humphreys is good enough for bennett it say's it all whether others are sold on him or not.

and his defence is sound and can be hard hitting

Is that more worthwhile than actual game time in cup though?

Good question.
Obviously this week Seibold thinks 'yes'.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

We need to start him now. Smart move keeping him with the squad to get ready for next week.
