Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

1st sentence made me laugh my headoff,the parasites take it in turns 2 play good cop bad,then laugh about it,more days 2 come about the pokies yet
Parasites for sure mate. Giggling boys club that rehash the same ground over and over again, a nothing story gets 4 or 5 nights coverage on that show. Yet the very important issues: the domestic violence and sexual assaults that seem to be commonplace at certain clubs hardly get 30 seconds of airtime.
 
Like I said before, Im amazed Luke hasn't been given some time in reserve grade since his debut, its unbelievable that at certain stages he hasn't at the very least been given the opportunity to line up against the level below and remind himself he's first grade standard and what it feels like to control the game and actually be the dominant half in the match.
Because right now, its as if he's forgotten or never knew
I'm like you sparci, stunned, Madge only dropped Brooks once for a week and despite only not playing a game, back in firsts next week without showing any signs of improvement. I know a lot of people won't find this next bit comforting, because of who said it. But the great Peter Sterling questioned the use of relegating players as a tool instead of them getting back into form, "players can loose form in first grade, but they can't find it there, it takes time, patience and a stint reserve grade".
 
Brent Read, when talking about Brooks, mentioned he will be being paid seven figures next year by the Tigers.
That’s at least a million dollars a year.
Let that sink in.
ok so let's cherry pick what journos say on nrl360, it must be true

they wouldn't know what Brooks was on
 
Sharks three big recruits - Finucane, Hynes and McIness are and were the exact type of signings we needed to strengthen our squad.

I have no doubts about that.
They got the job done and look amazing.
I'm not too fussed on finucane I think 4 year deal was crazy
McInnes and Hynes who is so versatile could have played 7 6 or 1 could have pushed douhie to centres if we had to and we could have kept Brooks and had Brooks hynes and douhie in centres
 
How did you get intimate details of all the players contracts ?
I didn’t … they are widely quoted from numerous sources.
Every sports journo and his dog have written stories about Brooks this year and they all seem to come up with the $900k figure.
Both Hynes ($650k) and Hastings (around $350k) have also been mentioned.
No one’s asking you to believe it … but ask yourself why we’d still be paying Brooks at least $450k a year if he went to Newcastle because they won’t pay full freight for him?

This is all hearsay. It's pretty tough to believe especially when Brooks salary goes up all the time.
 
That is one thing that does my head in, a 6 or 7 on your back changes your game, yeah right.

Completely agree. I still argue we should make Hastings our 7. He just looks a better player than Brooks to me and is much more suited to the 7 role than Brooks.

Still I hope Brooks has a blinder tonight.
 
We could have offered him more money and got him for sure if we had of got rid of Brooks.
Hastings is on about half of Hynes money.
depends how much Newcastle would have paid, it might have cost us 400k like Mmbye
so let's pay 800k for players to play for another team
Hastings money woykd have covered Hynes
