Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2803943, member: 8440"] It's hard to judge Brooks true potential when he's been playing in a basket case of a club. He's also been given very little control or authority of the team due to Farah's presence, despite being the halfback of the team, so it must be hard for the kid to better himself when he still probably isn't completely comfortable calling the shots. In the NYC (and his debut) he no doubt looked the goods, but once again it's hard to get a real indication with the difference in standard between the two competitions. I think this is a make or break year for Brooks, and for his career to really take off, I think a change in clubs could be beneficial for him as a player. I also feel the Moses/Brooks partnership, despite their friendship won't allow Brooks to develop fully. Moses, like Farah, seems somewhat of a strong presence on the field, which probably won't allow the more reserved Brooks to come out of his shell. I feel Moses will be the one calling the shots or overruling Brooks even if he sees an opportunity. Eventually he'll lose confidence and start doubting his judgement and he'll never really fulfil his potential as a halfback. I think if he comes cheap, he could be worth the gamble, but I'd still chase Ash Taylor or even Brodie Croft first. I also think chasing the best halfback isn't always the answer, It's more who can fit into our club, and complement Milford, as well as to a lesser degree the rest of the spine/team. [/QUOTE]
