Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

What would you say are his strengths?

His running game especially his speed. Defensively he is good as well. He can also create a line break through a short pass. He can kick long and short. His attacking kicks to guys good in the air like Doueihi and Ken M are pretty good.

The problem is that he doesn't execute well under pressure, he isn't very creative (neither is Nathan Cleary) and his general kicking game is too hit and miss.
 
Brooks is a middle of the rung half. He’s not bad but he’s also not good, definitely not $1million per season good.

Don't forget it was Madge, Pascoe and the board that stamped their approval on Brooks extension,… and Nofa’s too.

There’s a lot of heads that need to roll at WTs.

Where did you get the million dollar per season figure?
 
Decent little package they put together.

Remember watching that debut game. Jersey looks amazing. Close to a perfect debut anyone could dream of.

Don't know what happened along the way but I can think of a few things.

Shame we couldn't keep such a spine of,

1 Teddy
6 Brooks
7 Moses

Three best friends, could've been something special.

Anyways, no point bagging the guy - he knows what needs to be done.

There are players who may be good in their own right but just not a fit for the team they play for. None of the coaches he's had has been able to change his game, and if the club has not built a team around him, then there must be a reason.

Should we be praising him for essentially stealing money from the club? A real man would admit he's not performing to the expectations of the role and seek a release. He's just happy to collect his paycheck. Bugger him.

By all means say what you want. But how many threads and how many times does it need to be said.

Im no Brooks fan but your comment is ridiculous. Like you'd expect him to ask for a release and earn a lower amount elsewhere. Would you?
I didnt think so.

I very much doubt he is on 950k this year or even close to it

With TPAs I’d say he is.

But, if the nrl and our club were transparent we’d know. I don’t know any other professional sport in the world that isn’t transparent about player contracts. It’s a business after all.

My question is. Despite all the conjecture about whether or not Brooks is a halfback. Does he himself see his best position as being a halfback? Or would he be happy to hand over the reigns to Madden or Jackson?
