Luke Brooks - the plate is hot

[XV-1]

I just saw that Brooks is in the top 4 in stats so far this year 🥳

Unfortunately, it is for missed tackles - 50 🤨

Brookes has proven to be a myth, he is SOOO overrated and has not excelled in our jersey.

I didn’t think he was very good tonight but I might be being harsh. Does he cop a week for that spear tackle on Graham late? If so Walsh for a debut next week 🤔

I thought Brooks has played well the past few weeks, including tonight. I don’t think he’ll miss any games for the tackle. He let the player go immediately & didn’t go on with the tackle.

Spear tackle? I think not

I thought Walsh was outstanding in a beaten side today.

His defence is spot on too. Both front on, and in cover.

He got put on report but I didn’t think it was that bad, might have just been dangerous contact but Graham was put in a awkward position

I.M.O this guy should be under pressure. He's been cruising along , not coping the bullets that others have. He's a senior playmaker and he's not been delivering what he should.
Scored 1 try , 8 try assists, 12 line break assists, 6 offloads. Not good enough. He needs to step up big time the next 8 weeks because so far he's not showing anywhere near what we need.

At this point in the season last year, he had 2 tries, 9 try assists, 11 line break assists, and 6 offloads. Pretty similar numbers. Admittedly, he, and the rest of the team, went into better form immediately after this time last year.

He's not exactly inspiring, but he was never meant to be the main man. Instead our main man has been cashing in. I have more faith when Brooks has the ball, than I do when DCE is holding it. It was the inverse last year.

just another one on the manly retirement plan get a big dollar multi-year contract then lay back and rake it in every week for the least amount of effort you can get away with. Then we end up stuck with lazy players and no cap room to invest in better

I think he's helped Tolu's game progress well this season. If he continued to do just this, and not carry the team on his shoulders for wins (as we knew this was never really expected of him), then that's a contract well earned. If he complements Fogarty well for a couple more years until the next gen are ready, then even better.

He's still done more over the last 18 months than Foz, Schuster, Humphreys, and Latu combined.

We have more pressing issues.
