Luke Brooks #167

[twentyforty]

Hopefully an extension is inked over the bye and we have him for another couple of years. Get excited people. We are living in the Luke Brooks era. What a time to follow the Wests Tigers.

If you were sitting on the board, what sort of contract would you be happy to approve?
Should he be up as high as Bateman?
Would you limit him to 2 years or go longer?
If he gets 1 year then you know Benji doesn’t want him.

Not sure right place but I saw wests are auctioning off jerseys from the indigenous round and brooks is there? Game worn but his would be his 200th, you’d think he keep that.

 

[The Sniffer]

Most anyone has ever heard the guy talk.

I don't think he has done himself any favours by generally avoiding the media his entire career, definitely not the show pony like his BFF Moses. Comes across very likeable, I can see why the guys around him like him.

Jersey Auction are player 'Issued" Not worn...
They'd be the back up jerseys....

I brought Teddy’s game jersey from 2013 v Storm and I can vouch that it was the game jersey it hadn’t been cleaned.

Doueihi has to go or move to another position. He cannot return to the halves and IMHO needs to prove himself on a trial and train contract in reserves.

We have to cull anyone not up to first grade standard. Joffa made that mark, but he isn't a superstar. Look IMHO we should have kept him and moved on Twal... but I trust that Sheens knows more then this keyboard warrior.

Brooks likewise should not be signed up for a long term

Unfortunately AD may have seen his day at the Tigers. With the changes made and the who they are pushing and talent emerging. I know Twal's a so called plodder but dammit he's OUR plodder lol.

He is currently in career best plodding form.

Don't doubt it....
But the clubs usually have 2 types of Jerseys..
Terminology usually reflects that - You need to be careful as it can sometimes be misleading...

1 is Game worn (Which you probably have)
The other is Player Issued - Which is usually the spare Jersey for the game.
Sometimes if it's a special Jersey and they're going to Auction afterward - The player will change it at half time... So there's 2 game worn Jerseys for the Match. 1 for them to keep and one to sell.

That said, It's the Tigers - Who knows what they're selling....
Unless it clearly states game worn, I would assume it's not the jersey used in the game.

The Tigers can’t afford to have both halves in their salary cap, according to the report, meaning Brooks’ future might depend on Schuster.

Fake news aside, How the hell do the Tigers not have space in the cap to fit Brooks in on the 300K he is worth for a 1 year extension? Knowing the numpties history at HQ they're getting ready to offer both a mill a year. Rinse and repeat.

If anyone watched Manly lose to Knights and Shuster was terrible his kicks were all wrong and apart from early intercept was ineffective .He seems to run at gentle pace. His kicking game and last tackle options reminded me of Brooks on a bad day .lost my vote

 

[twentyforty]

We can’t do better we Han Brooks at 7.

As you said, fake news.

 

[twentyforty]

Can’t understand why Brooks hasn’t been re-signed already. Must be looking for combo halves pairing?

 

[twentyforty]

I’m thinking Schuster will be announced shortly.
And Wakeham will be playing for a contract at another club?

I hope you are wrong but i am sure the local KFC at Concord hopes you are right as it would be getting a new customer

 

[batboy]

As you said, fake news.

Fair chance if they can afford the 3 Halves they're paying atm -
Brooks on 1.1 (or whatever it may be)
Doueihi on 600+
Wakeham on 200+
They can afford Brooks and basically anyone...

I love reading posts that Brooks should be on no more than 200k
(From Clowns who have no idea on the Cap makeup)
Basically - The bottom 4 players in the squad are on 120k (Set to rise when they get to it)
EVERYONE else - Goes up from there....

I get that.
I have 5 on historic now so get to ride something every day for the cost of one full rego every year. Still got a DR 650 on full but the plan is to offload that and get a Honda NX Dominator so it can be on historic rego too. Also, on the lookout for a ute I can get on historic as well.

You have quite the collection mate, I have 2 old Falcons on historic rego, a 1962 XL Falcon deluxe, and a 1978 XC Falcon GS

The wife feels it's more a burden than anything else. As for me, Of course I'd like to acquire and sample some more beasties.
Nice re the Fords. I'm sure one of your Falcons would be worth several times more than my entire collection of bikes 🙂 Good investment choice.
