I think the point that Gary made about our hookers and mainly Simpkin, to get more consistent with performances. Tbh I don’t see a lot of difference between Liddle and Simpkin. But it’s Jakes turn now to lock in the 9 position. If neither do, this is where I see Brooks standing up. Then AD could slot back into 6.
Brooks to 13 would be the go. He can play link…
He’d handled the defensive workload. Brooks at 13 is actually not a bad idea.
Just don’t tell @Garry
He would handle the defense but would not be able to achieve the hitup metres needed from a 13, so it is a big no from me lol
But then again we have Hastings who makes 150+m a game from halfback, most of those hard runs in traffic coming from our own half.
I think between AD, Hastings and Brooks they can cover 7, 6 & 13 in some type of combination
One option is Brooks defends at 13 but play 6
While AD defends at 6 but plays 13
You get the worst of all worlds then. Why have Brooks defend at 13? Get a big body there to defend. Stunts AD's attack IMO at 13. I cant see anywhere but centre for AD at the moment.
Not through the middle as a forward.
Rubbish. He’s not playing prop.

We’re talking Dene Halatua style
