@avocadoontoast you were announcing Brooks was goooone last year avo
you clearly are not a fan mate
There need to be major changes after today.
Nofo should never play first grade again.
Twal and Joffa stifle the attack something horrible. They can’t be both in the team. Matamua needs to be given a chance at lock.
Laurie, AD and Brooks terrible. Bula needs to be promoted at the first opportunity. I don’t like Wakeham but I can’t imagine him being as clueless as brooks.
Talau is awful, don’t understand the wraps.
We’re in big trouble.
I would add Stephano to that list. Horrible last year and has started very poorly this year.
He is definitely not a starting front rower.
100%. His ball handling is dreadful.
Simple fact is Adam would play his game better with a controlling 7. If Luke is here in ‘24, I’m gone!! He wasn’t the worse today, but we need a general.@nztiger we can't turn this show around this year we will run last i reckon.
Be very very surprised if AD is in the halves come round 1 2024
Think Brooks will lock down 6 and Moses or George Williams to play 7 in 2024
Then we’ll continue to struggle. The last two weeks have confirmed that Brooks is toast. He’s done.
I'm not a fan of Doueihi as a 6 so we all have opinions which is good, but I can admit Douihie played well last week not as well at 6 this week though.
As for last week Brooks was very ordinary indeed , this week one of our better players but he is a 6
Just a general heads up after a horrible game and everyone feeling on edge. We have no problem with people debating the issues, being critical of the performances and disagreeing with others opinions, but make sure you play the ball and not the man.
In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
@avocadoontoast he was one of our only tacklers today. He was not the reason they lost this one
I get you dont like him but fair dinkum
couldn’t manufacture anything in attack against a team missing three of their best players and having 12 men for 25 minutes. He’s a joke.
@avocadoontoast not all on him though he had a halves partner in AD that didn't do much either.
The one clean break we made was all Brooks and naden should have scored from it
@loganr21 how do you know that is the case ? I think if AD was the answer at 6 he would have more than a 12 month extension. AD has a place in the team just not in the halves I reckon.
As for 7 Brooks won't be a 7 in 2024 I don't think
It’s not worth discussing anymore as I disagree with you completely.@avocadoontoast not all on him though he had a halves partner in AD that didn't do much either.
The one clean break we made was all Brooks and naden should have scored from it
and for the record Sheens return to coaching has left a hell of a lot to he desired so far…
@avocadoontoast don't think so he was in our top 3 today easily
He played ok on a purely individualist level but as the halfback for a first grade Rugby League team, he was diabolical once again.
He faced a spine that lost 2 members at the start of the game, had 25 minutes of taking on only 12 players and was against a fellow cellar dwellar club whose forward pack were forced to play big minutes they werent anticipating. This all took place in front of a good sized home crowd, with an enhanced forward pack and an injury free spine that all love to attack. Couldnt get it done. The guy is not a halfback, never has been and the sooner we can get him out of this club, the sooner we can truly begin the rebuild.
@avocadoontoast said, Sheens return to coaching has left a hell of a lot to he desired so far…
Exactly what I expected.
He has already begun blaming the officials. Wont be long until he throws young Benji under the bus.
@avocadoontoast only game 2 in a long season
I think if AD was the answer at 6 he would have more than a 12 month extension.
That's 12 mths longer than Brooks as it stands.
that’s thanks solely to the sponsors of the show. They just babble the CCT. Andrew Luke and John for me.@loganr21 look at the ratings mate they don't.... but anyway Thirsty has been around at both stations still calls well
