Any more clues on the Brooks to ESL thing (Hull, as I understand it)?

Teaming up with Hodgson, he's still at hull isn't he, replace Josh Reynolds?

Doesn't the new coach get to decide.

Seems to be the mail.

Let's not put a downer on this info just yet.

They are clearing the decks while they can. Look at Peachey.

 

[Garrry]

Shane Flanagan might want Brooks to stay, can cover a lot of positions 6,7,9,13, good depth, look at all the injuries tigers have this year?

Brooks will be retired by the time CC finished weight up his options.

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...

We've had the articles about Ciraldo been given a deadline that never was, so why not an article about Brooks probably inspired by reading this forum.

Why would Brett Hodgson release his marquee half right now at the pointy end of the season, with Hull in finals contention, without a better option lined up?

Probably Dean Hawkins is available.

Probably Dean Hawkins is available.

Hawkins ain’t no Luke Brooks

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Yeah we could really use his 15 meters per half

He is avg 125mtrs a game this year

 

[stryker 69]

He is avg 125mtrs a game this year

First grade?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

First grade?

Yeah, this year after playing 9 games.

NSW cup playing fullback 245mtrs last week from 19 runs, 2 try assists & 1 line break against the Jets (who have been performing well this year).

He must have had one big week in there because the games I saw him he’s been pretty much a bludger.
You talk to Penrith fans and they can’t wait to get rid of him. Not a modern day winger…too small, not hard enough. Very good at finishing off movements when the inside men have taken out all the defenders, but he cannot score the tries Ken and Noffa score for us.

Not really only 3 weeks (88, 73, 84) under 100mtrs. Highest round was 184mtrs.

This year his positional play has improved alot and he holds his line in defense. He is also running more direct and has been looking for work early in sets.

Not saying he is a super star but he also isn’t a nuffie people make him out to be.

He is also only 21 so has some promise & is improving.

I would take him over Nofa on current form, age and pay scale.

 

[batboy]

I disagree. Our wingers are currently just about the only go forward we have. Until we have a decent pack we can’t afford to swap a meter eating winger for one that averages 50m

One winger

He’s not coming to play wing
