Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

TillLindemann said:
As I understand it they are willing to chip in this year as well, as it wouldn't come under their salary cap. He would be their marquee signing which is excluded from the cap. It was basically an offer too good too refuse. The funny thing is all of the supposedly in the know NRL 'journos' are still talking about Newcastle or Dolphins, but I bet they will act like they had the inside word all along when it comes out.

And for it to work like this, Josh Reynolds had to go.

Wonder how his partner feels about this. Isn’t he close to having his first child. I’d say he goes nowhere for a year or two.

I'm glad there are a handful of posters on this thread who deal in reality. All this based off a conversation with a supporter of Hull FC. Mmm.. So what is going to happen if this is just another Brooks' posse failure?

Good for Brooks if he goes to Super League. Gets away from the limelight and may be able to re-discover himself over there. Could be similar to Hastings. We've seen other players find themselves in England. Blake Green is another I can think of.

I hope he goes.

I resent that! Nah I can see why you would be sceptical, but my mate is more than a 'supporter', and more like a quantum supercomputer that hoovers up correct information, apart from his Gildart recommendation.

Why would Brooks go to SL when he can get a start at the Knights, Dogs, Dolphins and no doubt a few other clubs in the NRL? Josh Reynolds was at the end of his career and his body was failing him. Hull is not the most attractive place to live.

1. More money (exempt from salary cap as a marquee player)
2. Escape the intense scrutiny from the Australian media. Can you imagine the pressure he would be under if he signs with Newcastle or the Dolphins and they go on to miss the 8?
3. There are people there he already knows well, including Hodgo. He will be looked after.

Could underfire Wests Tigers' Luke Brooks make shock move to Super League? - Serious About Rugby League

The much-maligned Luke Brooks has had a hellish few seasons in the NRL with the Wests Tigers. After being dropped for the first time in his 185-game NRL career ahead of Wests’ clash with struggling New Zealand Warriors next week, Brooks looks to be once more on the periphery at Concord. The...

Hull is a lovely place.
They don’t really speak much English there and most people are on the scrounge…but lovely.

According to my Pommy mate Shifty Sheens and Brett Hodgson have done a deal. Brooks is going to Hull. They just cut Josh Reynolds loose mid deal to make space. Watch this space. I think it's the best outcome for all parties - it allows Brooks to escape the Australian media spotlight, I think he will thrive over there.

Intercept length of the field try, And clutch field goal....
No one remembers that though...

Too busy comparing a bad kick or a bad pass to that 1 good thing Madden did that 1 time against the dogs.

Most number of games and not played finals. Let that sink in. It can’t be everybody else’s fault.
