Opinion My personal opinion

[sleepy dog]

Hey guys just thought I’d open a topic of discussion around my thinking behind Luke brooks on a bargain deal will be the perfect foil for burton. For burton to excel he needs a 7 than can kick and manage his players nothing special doesn’t need to do anything out of the box. In my opinion I think he’ll suit burton game so much after watching them both closely. What do you guys think [emoji848]

Flanagan and burton swap…. Suits both clubs

 

[silva]

Brooks is not NRL standard has never played finals and lacks leadership ability and any sign of the male hormone

no Brooks is a running half.
TB has to change his attacking structure to suit the players he has. If it is Burton and Averillo then he needs to play a similar style to the storm who have 2 running halves, IMO

 

[James zac]

Nah work with flanagan hes young brooks been round for awhile

 

[gibbo2]

Brookes or Ash Taylor are massive upgrades on anything we have. As long as the money is reasonable I am all for it . I can’t stomach another season of Avo at halfback.

If you're buying a player that has failed at another club in that position, then you're backing your coach and system to be better than the coach/club they came from to get the best out of them and improve them. We are not in that position AT ALL.

Barrett took gambles with players like Allan, Flanagan, Cotric (at center), Waddell and failed miserably on all of them. He also said Atoni and Ogden were untapped talents and he got fuck all out of them either. This is not the club that is going to get anything out of Brooks.

Sleepy dog is speaking in riddles.

This is a done swap deal. Announcement tomorrow

 

[chisdog]

Brooks & Flanagan swap I take it. I think that Flanagan needs an awful lot of coaching to be competent in the new form of the game & Brooks would be better. You never know maybe the Brooks / Burton combination would work well. If that was our choice we wouldn't have anything to lose.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Brooks can't do it at the Tigers and he ain't doing it for us. Reynolds was the player we needed and we missed out. Baz needs to scrap his system and go back to the drawing board.

 

[kap123]

Save the money I reckon mate. I also like left foot right foot combos.

 

[bradyk]

Brooks is another dud half. I think we just go with 2 running halves (either Averillo or BBO) if we don't have a genuine halfback option (F the system).

Phoenix Crossland from the Knights is still unsigned,he is not a vet but he has impressed me in the few times I have seen him.Seems like a smart player and quick thinker.
If Kodi Nikorima is playing second fiddle to Johnson and Tavita-Harris in 2022 he might be interested in a move and I think he plays more on the right and might be a good fit(not a game manager,but having one guy playing each edge who has some vision would be better than what is here.)

 

[Bazildog]

Gus needs to scrap the Baz and go back to the drawing board.

There you go Mutt, I fixed it for you.

I rate Brooks far higher then what we have. People here have a short memory. In 2018 Luke brooks finished third in the Dally M Comp and took out half back of the year . A change in scenery would be perfect for Brooks and the dogs. Make it happen Sleepy

 

[silva]

Offer sezer 300k hel be a perfect foil for burton worked great with wighton

 

[c-b-b]

I don’t think taking on another player that needs work to fix his game is what we need right now. You could just be throwing away more cap space.

 

[Bazildog]

Would prefer Pearce if available, and if he gets injured BBO.

Agree with u a change of scenery would do a world of good for brooks,a good runner of the ball,and certainly better than we currently have,averilo I still think needs another year to learn,or maybe even bring him of the bench to cover a few backline positions.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

I wouldn't mind the risk on Brooks if we had an elite fullback. Couldn't carry Brooks and Dufty in the same spine

 

[Yougra]

I think Brooks will be available in the not too distant future

Adam Douhie has the number 6 locked up and will probably be the next captain and the Tigers have signed Jackson Hastings for next year and he is coming back to play halfback so I think Brooks will be on the way out

Is he a good fit for us?....maybe

Is he better than what we have got....definitely

Looking at everything else available ......I'd take him
