@garry IDK either, but Madden on the bench offers very little. Partner him with Hastings and have Simpkin come off the bench for Brooks. He plays for 20-25 mins. Times up with Liddle, he’s done my head in and I’m a fan.
We lose so much by moving Brooks from 6. Hastings 7 and Brooks 6 are halves moving forward.

Brooks is not a nine. He may be good there for 10 mins or so to utilise his speed and run at tiring forwards but he adds far more value at six. Liddle in attack has been very disappointing for the last two seasons and I too am a huge fan of his.
Get out of crazy town …Hastings/Brooks in the halves is our best option it’s been 4 and a bit games.. they were both individually good yesterday.. missing most of our starting backline 1st choice Fullback Winger and centre playing Fullback not to mention Doueihi..
This combination must be given time..
