he wanted a release under Maguire
does he necessarily want that under Sheens, not so sure hence don't think Sheens will be letting him go in 2023 unless we sign a George Williams or something

He also got the almighty dollar…..but yeah time for both parties to start fresh….I actually hope he goes welllI hope that it does work out for Luke at the Knights, at least he was loyal when those other 3 Aholes went chasing the almighty dollar.
I don’t know how he has handled the pressure that was put on him by the media etc, and remained sane.
Just glad that it’s hopefully over now and we as a club can move on.

we finished last so Madge probably should have been sacked end of 2021Brooks has tanked before though. He did it end of 21 against the Dogs to try and get Maguire sacked
Think he’s just over being here. If it was just Madge don’t think he would be asking again to be released.he wanted a release under Maguire

from all reports he has not asked for a release in 2023, he has advised in 2024 he is signing with Newcastle.Think he’s just over being here. If it was just Madge don’t think he would be asking again to be released.
The same way Api and papali signed with us 12 months out

Newcastle may well look at Hastings to play 7 if Sheens insists he is a 13 and he wants to play 7 in 2024. Wouldn't rule that out just yetThink he’s just over being here. If it was just Madge don’t think he would be asking again to be released.
If he hasn’t asked yet it he will be asking soon. Unless he’s fine with playing out his contract, he will be asking for the release. Its only a matter of time but if he is going to Knights in 24 I wish him luck but he hasn’t worked out for us.from all reports he has not asked for a release in 2023, he has advised in 2024 he is signing with Newcastle.

He bought a house in Cronulla not too long ago. Don’t think he will consider Knights. Brooks though has been spotted looking at places to live/buy in Newcastle though so he’s interested at least.Newcastle may well look at Hastings to play 7 if Sheens insists he is a 13 and he wants to play 7 in 2024.

agree he may well ask but Sheens won't strengthen another side by giving Newcastle a 7 in 2023 if he does not have what he thinks is a suitable replacement. If Sheens doesn't see Hastings as the 7 then he won't release Brooks in 2023 so Hastings can play 7 then sign Moses or someone in 2024 to play 7 and shift Hastings back to 13.If he hasn’t asked yet it he will be asking soon.

He will keep Brooks in 2023 and tell Newcastle to get stuffed you can have Brooks in 2024

mate I am not disagreeing about 2024 he has said via his manager in 2024 he is interested in Newcastle. None of that means he will be released in 2023 though.He bought a house in Cronulla not too long ago. Don’t think he will consider Knights. Brooks though has been spotted looking at places to live/buy in Newcastle though so he’s interested at least.
Parramatta as an example didn't release Stef to us early
Maybe and maybe not. Its no secret he’s already asked 2 times for the release both times was denied. All he has to do is play the mental health card and he’ll be let go. Don’t know if he will actually do that like Moses did but if he does he’s outta there.agree he may well ask but Sheens won't strengthen another side by giving Newcastle a 7 in 2023 if he does not have what he thinks is a suitable replacement.

if we offer Hastings 500k and Newcastle 750k I'd say he would go to Newcastle if he wants to play 7 regardless of where he lives nowHe bought a house in Cronulla not too long ago. Don’t think he will consider Knights. Brooks though has been spotted looking at places to live/buy in Newcastle though so he’s interested at least.
Why? It's a suggestion and rumours thread. It's being suggestedCan we stop talking about George Williams. He is contracted to Warrington until end of 24 and only ever spoken about being happy at the club.
We messed that up we should’ve asked for him early for them to get Matterson. Tigers upper management messed that up for us.mate I am not disagreeing about 2024 he has said via his manager in 2024 he is interested in Newcastle. None of that means he will be released in 2023 though.

last time which he denied was when Maguire was coach.Maybe and maybe not. Its no secret he’s already asked 2 times for the release both times was denied. All he has to do is play the mental health card and he’ll be let go. Don’t know if he will actually do that like Moses did but if he does he’s outta there.
The reporters can't even get his salary right yet some believe he definitely asked for a release because it was reported as such.

we didn't though and end of the day the club has to want to release him. Not so sure Sheens willWe messed that up we should’ve asked for him early for them to get Matterson. Tigers upper management messed that up for us.
Don’t forget though his family live in the Illawarra region. If he moves up to Newcastle he’s further away from them. The only team that may be a threat is the Dogs. Don’t think Knights are considering him based on how much they have openly admitted they want Brooks. He won’t go to Newcastle that I’m certain of.if we offer Hastings 500k and Newcastle 750k I'd say he would go to Newcastle if he wants to play 7 regardless of where he lives now
They change the salary to make the story interesting. But they are correct though that Brooks is 100% our highest paid player at the club. If he’s not on a million he’s certainly close to it.last time which he denied was when Maguire was coach.
