Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

[Elderslie_Tiger]

I feel like I've already had enough chance to look at Madden.

But, it can't hurt. Brooks being injured is better than him being dumped, because there's no controversy and you can test out whatever other combinations you had in mind.

How about Daine Laurie at half ????

Brooks has had 8 years to prove he can cut it, 5 or 6 games remaining isn't much time to prove anything in a depleted side.

😂😂😂
- Here's an excuse I prepared earlier....

He's up against a solid team now...
Good luck to him - He's going to need it.

Beautifully said mate. Hope you continue to manage your illness and the Forum provides you with a source of enjoyment and fulfilment.

People are knocking putting Hastings at 7 because the defence knew he'd get the ball every time, but that's because he was partnering a very unconfident Brooks. Doueihi is a threat, Hastings is a threat, for the love of god lets at least try it out for a few games and see how it goes.

I like Brooks, but I think it's time to move on. As much for him as it is for us. At this point he is undoubtedly a better player than Madden is, but it's time.
One way to look at it is, if we replace Brooks with Madden, we can use the dollars saved to upgrade the the position in the 30 previously occupied by Garner. Plucking numbers from thin air: $800K (Brooks) + $300K (Garner) = $1.1M. So $1.1M - $400K (Madden) = $700k left for Garner's replacement = Liam Martin maybe??
In the right team, with good forwards, Brooks will kill it and the DT will get to write countless stories about how we let another one go; to that I say good luck, I'm happy for Luke!

OH NO 🤯🤯🤯 who are the keyboard warrior's and coaches going to Bash now.

With both whipping boys not playing (Brools and Nofo) i fully expect to see Laurie tarred and feathered

 

[coivtny]

Love you

Right back at you.

Seyfarth, Tuilagi, Madden if he gets picked and doesn't kick on are easily the next men up.

 

[Needaname]

I think madden in crap but I am willing to give him the rest of the season to prove he can cut it , but not holding my breath

I reckon he could do the same role as what Brooks was doing playing wide receiver on the left of the scrum.
Plus in my opinion is a better general play kicker.

Could be a look into the future until the end of the season. If Brooksy decides to move clubs next year.

 

[Demps]

I'd rather Jacko move to 7 and Offa back to 13.

My entire existence has become a shambles. What do I do with my life now?

Not if he plays like he did last weekend.
That was close to the best 80 minutes any Wests Tiger has put in all year.

He doesn't lack ticker I will say that for him.... A fresh start at a new club probably the best for him... I wish him luck

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Wasn't it Tim Sheens who went to the Brooks' home to sign Luke to a contract many years ago? I remember reading an article on it (many years ago).

Yay another Luke brooks thread.

Brooks will be with us next season and extend for a further season leaving Benji with the call when he steps in is my thoughts
