Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Luke Brooks is 160cm (6 ft ) tall, I don't think that qualifies him to participate in disability sports in the classification of dwarfism.
I don't get why some of the posters on here think it is funny to put down people with disabilities, it shows a lack of respect for people with disabilities and should be banned on this forum.

160cm is 63 inches which is 5 ft 3 in

The discussion on here can be so diverse, sometimes we get bogged down in merger debates, where we should play and what our DNA is. Other times it's much simpler like how tall is Luke brooks really...👍

Which Brooks is not ! Bag him as some do, and i expected more, but he would be one of the best front on defenders for a half back that i've seen, To insult his stature is 12yr old kid bully behavior.

Cool, he can be the tallest clown in the circus.

FYI, I think your maths is off.

C'mon, give us a hint?

Gloudy it's your time to shine!

Or the elusive Pom perhaps ?

Everyone is a good Front On Defender!!!

there is no end to the wilful blindness.
Brooks is a crap defender. He makes one good tackle in 5 games and magically he becomes Trevor Gillmeister.
He is a liability in defence pure and simple.
Just like he is in attack.

Calling guys Gimps, that are 180cm by people who are probably 170cm or less is laughable !
Shows the level of absurdity they have gone too, immature is to nice to describe the vitriol these fools should be called.

Mate I am 6ft tall,183cms. I've met Brooks before and he's not within cooee of 180cm

181cm is 6ft for reference
160cm is 5ft 3in

It's a typo mate. It would be best if you educated yourself, height in many cases has nothing to do with ability, more importantly, though it has nothing to do with courage. I served in Vietnam 1966-67 as a rifleman in an infantry battalion. one of the bravest men I served with was 5ft tall.

And you measured him!

 

[KevB]

Damn I got sucked in feeding the Brooks fans again. Sorry everyone!
Please ignore me and continue with the dwarf PC discussion 🤣🤣🤣 .

Nothing to do with Brooks fan.

 

[bigsiro]

Nothing to do with Brooks fan.

[KevB]

It's a reference to dwarfism have an opinion mate but con'

It's the reference to dwarfism and disabilities, in general, that I don't agree with. Do you have the courage to call it out mate?

 

[Telltails]

Oh for the day Brooks is gone - for those of us who don't feel the need to constantly bag him or defend him. The obsession around him at this club is real - and all to no avail.

Good on you Kev 👍

 

[weststigers]

Typo mate but it doesn't take away from the issue KevB raises.

I don’t have an opinion on any issues he raises.

Simply pointing out the cm’s didn’t match the feet. Typo or otherwise.

Fairly uncontroversial.

I would not pay $1.4 million for Moses , would go to $900,000 maybe $1,000,000
Would chase Williams the pm 1/2 , better value at around $700,000

But you're using figures based on the old salary cap. If the new cap is 20% higher then players are going to expect 20% more in their new contracts. 1.4 is the new 1 million salary...

Did you stop doing Maths at primary school?

It is far from as simple as a 20% increase across your entire squad on a pro rata basis!

Supply and demand will still dictate the market!

Moses is not close to $1.4M on the cap regardless of any pending increase in the cap!
