Unlike most supporters who don’t like him, I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this.
For once he has a pack to help him out.

He tried to leave us twice during this contract.
He stated that he would be selfish with his next contract and wanted to play finals. That ain’t happening here for a while.
If we landed him a quality partner, and we certainly tried, he may have stayed. Our failure to secure one was likely the catalyst for moving on and from there only a lucrative contract would have kept him here. We didn’t come to the party.
He had to go.

Just read this on another forum, clarifying LB salary over the past 4 years:

"......Luke Brooks, for all the misinformed and judgemental, Luke is not on 1.1 million, Luke signed a 4 year contract extension at 750k a season, mismanagement by the club, back ended his contract, meaning that he was paid less for the first 3 years and the financial discrepancy would be paid out in full on the final year of the contract."

I seem to remember he was upgraded from 750k to around 900k which was back ended.

This is common knowledge.
Who is the big noter thinking he is breaking this news to the “misinformed and judgemental”?

It was a person on the supporters' page; I think from memory, the comment was reaponding to someone who was disparaging about things generally - it's all about context, I suppose.

Halves needs

Penrith - none
Brisbane - will soon be looking for a Adam Reynolds replacement
Melbourne - none
Souths - Jury out on Illias in finals
Cronulla - Moylan out of form and likely to be replaced, jury out on Trindall
Warriors - none until SJ is done
Canberra - need a five eighth
Manly - none if they re-sign Schuster
Parra - cloud over Brown
Gold Coast - in the market
Dolphins - young halves that look fairly settled, may consider an upgrade to elite
Roosters - in the market with Pearce rumoured
Knights - in the market with current crop inconsistent
NQ - Rumoured to be shopping halves
Bulldogs - can’t lock down a partner for Burton, do have a young gun on the books
Tigers - no answer at all
Stgeorge- Stocks ok with youth and experience, unless Hunt leaves.

You can see why Brooks will test the market.

Plenty of opportunities that’s why I was arguing our offer was offensive.
 
So has brooks straight out told the club he won’t be here next year, surely he hasn’t said he wants to test the market he’s been able to do that for months?

Boo hoo … at $1.2mil I don’t buy your sorry tale … he’s playing NRL, not on the set of ‘Coming To America’
… (hand clap) .. “wipers”
Adam Reynolds doesn’t require an expensive shadow!
