Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

[Jedi_Tiger]

Seriously why would we even be talking about the make up of the team two weeks out. I get they need to run combinations but a lot can happen in two weeks. Let people know on the day you pick the team.

it is a beat up article from pooper and slow news day.

even so they know they have us over a barrel, they lowball and offer 300k and we have to pay 800k it's ridiculous

You’re assuming they still want him.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I’m convinced Brooks is in the Freemasons and is being treated to a career on mega money. Many years later, this will be correlated to the return of President Trump for a second term resulting in bedlam and turmoil the likes of which ye have never seen - argh.

I was watching a video yesterday with one Trumpist claiming the real POTUS atm is JFK. Senior, not junior. Senior who would be 105 if he were alive. They truly are mad.

I dont think this will help him, but it may show us the future of the Tigers that has been obvious for ages.

Our forwards will still get beaten up and the new halves pairing will look clueless too.

exactly they probably don't if he is playing reggies

This is a long read but love him or hate him its a pretty good summation of his time here :

Luke Brooks – a career derailed by expectation, instability and timing

The Wests Tigers timeline since the end of 2012 would make a must watch docuseries but unfortunately for Luke Brooks, he is the one player that has been there for it all. Luke Brooks was the Tigers…

Its good to see these types like Maguire and Brooks finally being flushed. The forum is long overdue for new scapegoats

Funny hey, consecutive sets to start the game last week we get errors from just about every forward on our team and one gets carted off. The narrative is our poor last tackle options.

One of his worst performances I have seen, but boy, he wasn’t alone in the shit stakes. Hastings too went missing.

They’ve just added Milford and Clune has outplayed Brooks all year. Plus they have Jake Clifford who is also been playing better. Please, lets get into the tired routine where just because they were linked to a club once, that we link it to them for the rest of their career. We’ve seen it with Noffa to Parra, Liddle to the Dogs, Garner to Manly. These players were linked to these clubs 5 years ago in some cases.

Rich coming from somebody who's life is justified after predicting players would be a flops.

Hastings has been missing most of the season. Outside of the field goal against Parra, I fail to see much else he’s done. And the club feels the need to sign him a year before he‘s free to talk to other clubs. Talk about desperate. That goes for Laurie too. Another Harold Holt.

Mozart had his critics too Demps. See if you can name 2 of them.

A great summary that comes to a valid conclusion regarding the club and Luke's futures

 

[tiger_one]

Are reserves playing this week during the rep round? If so is it possible he is dropped for the bye and then back for the warriors? 😂

No reserve grade played this week.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Yea but he was behind a beaten forward pack or Poor service from dummy or players are too tall or bad coach or bad halves partner or he was told not to run the ball or he’s running the ball too much or his boots were too tight.


Don’t be a hater man.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what excuses people made for him. They aren’t the decision makers. It’s the 4 or 5 coaches that have picked him week in, week out for 7 or 8 years. What relevance does it have if a few ham and eggers make excuses for him on a forum, and why does it outrage people. Channel the anger where it needs to go. To those making decisions.

I dont often critique any of your posts GNR as I respect your input,however,Hastings has been an inspiration to this team this year at halfback,he was missed for 3 games while suspended,came back and the team played very well,he is also carrying an injury but gets on the field to hopefully inspire this lot he has to play with...if you and others cant notice the difference between him as the general and Brooks for 9 years,then Im sorry but you are picking on the wrong target in Hastings..
I also think Laurie hasnt really recovered from the broken leg last year mentally,but I suppose we have to give him time to deal with that,if he cant then another has to be found to fill his void...cheers mate...

I will have to respectfully disagree. Idk how much of an inspiration he could be considering where we are on the ladder. We’re still floundering the same way we did before he was here. I’ve made my opinion known on Laurie dozens of times. No need to repeat myself. Cheers Ziggy.

Twal out for season is a big loss, we can't cop a break

Yeh hes the fittest player we got. I do like the fact the club is the on saying for him to take a break. It's not like it will matter this year anyway.
