Some are forgetting its just not the head coach who comes up with the game plane, certain players, defensive structures etc. Benji will seek advice on all these things and his team will hopefully get all that in place. I think Benji will be a good head coach because there is no doubt all the...

Has anyone mentioned the clear forward pass from Canberra the play before their last try. The tough judge was in line only and two metres away from it

I'm sure there's a number of things but a 5/8 with more speed, with a good passing game that can really dig into the defensive line

Its obvious, we need someone with some ball skills at five eight. If had Cody Walker we win that game and many others. I would love to get John Schuster to our team.

I agree, our biggest weakness is we lack someone who creates. What about John Schuster? He has plenty of skill and size, and he's young with good pedigree

Laurie at 6 is dangerous, not sure how he'd go defensively

That bench does look a bit weak but it won't be the difference. As mentioned before we need to improve our ball control, capitalising on our pressure, defending their kicks and edge defence.

I think it's way to early to decide between Wakeman or Brooks. Lets see how he goes after the Dolphins start losing a few Huge risk having Laurie at six, imagine the traffic coming his way, opposition coaches would be loving it

Obviously it's early in the season but is this game against the Knights a must win? Home ground, average opposition, team is focused and fired up, limited injuries, a confidence builder

Ordinary team, for starters I don't think Laurie should be defending in the front line, talk about being targeted

Good team but be surprised if Bateman plays, so Twal for his experience, first game of the year. Nofo as well for his experience and he has shown he brings can bring the ball back well from kicks with a quick play the ball

Yeah all fair points and we all know it but he is our halfback, our playmaker, 'our only hope' (well one the major ones) so I'm saying lets get behind him.

Yeah, but you know you what, it's 'easy' to bag someone though, I'll repeat 'easy' to bag someone and then say 'I would love to Brooks see go well'. Please.....show some balls and back him, especially our half back and a dedicated Wests Tiger. I hope the fairy tale happens and he comes good and...

In case anyone missed it, here is Andrew Johns and Fittler talking about Brook's game. I think their response gives us some hope, 'a big fish' or 'a top line player' and 'hasn't reached his potential' wow, some interesting descriptions there, even the non believers would have to agree. Taking...

This guy knows a bit about halfbacks.... https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/news-2022-luke-brooks-andrew-johns-newcastle-knights-wests-tigers-contract-exclusive/daed7958-32a3-426c-a7cf-4057b6c552cc

Didn't you know he won Dally M halfback of the year 2018. Some say the talent is in there, maybe it's just a matter of finding it again.

Time will tell obviously, it's a huge decision to make but remember Sheens and Marshall know a good footballer more than most people. And seem to believe that Brooks is a better player than Hastings and can turn him into a top quality half back. I think you have to have some faith in them, I'll...

It's clear that Sheens and Benji still thinks we haven't seen the best of Brooks and maybe they're right. It's time for Brooks to reach that potential we have all been waiting for for all these years and that's exciting.

I think it's part of the fun to make up your own mind to why they make decisions like this. And this one may be because of a number of reasons such as he thinks Brooks is better for the team and can be a better player than Hastings. And it's time for Brooks to finally deliver on that potential...

Yeah, slightly different situations than sitting down with the Tigers coaching staff as a professional and talking football, though. Well here's hoping anyway
