Luke Brooks #167

He's a competent first grade half. He's a John Morris level player. He is perfect as a halves partner for a match winner like DCE. As the main man? forget about it.

He was never the kind of player you build a squad around. He's not a leader. Never was. He hasn't got the personality or the imagination to be a great player. I don't think its something he particualarly wanted to be anyway. (a kind of dominant, game managing half).

Could you imagine Brooksy getting everyone together in the sheds and giving them a spray and telling other people in the team that things were not good enough? He always seemed to be kind of absorbed in his own performances rather than really thinking much outside of that. Bit of an enigma, but also just not that good.
 
Brooks was a failure here and was paid a million per year despite that. When you’re paid that much, there are expectations and he never met them in any of the 10 years he was here.

It also didn’t help that his obnoxious low IQ fanboys would use every excuse under the sun to explain why he was shitting the bed constantly and blame everything and everyone else.

Everything from the height of his wingers to having “football anxiety” (yes this was an actual excuse) was used to shift blame. I’ve never encountered a player who achieved so little yet had such a diehard following by a handful of morons on here who wouldn’t know a good footy player from a hole in the ground.

I’ve watched him at Manly and he plays no different to when he played here. The difference is he has superstars like DCE and Turbo to carry him while he chimes in every now and then with a classic Brooks blunder.

We obviously have some of his friends and family on here *cough* Jedi, paws *cough* who probably spend as much time on the silvertails forum as much as they do here. They always were Brooks first, Tigers second.
Brooks was paid a million per year? I did not know that. Was that in his final 4 year contract?
Why do you suppose the club paid him the $4m during his last 4 years with us?

Ah yes, here comes the obtuseness commonly associated with Brooks fans.

It’s pretty common knowledge that he was paid around 1.1 million in at least the last year of his four year deal he signed in 2018 coming off his undeserved Dally M. He was earning upwards of $550,000 in the previous contract and was just coming off his best season and the club was desperate for a retention win after losing three of the big four the year prior.

So it’s not much of a surprise that the club would overpay to keep him. I’ve heard from a few people close to the club that the first year was between 850-900 and went up each year

It was a simple question, no need for the personal abuse, unless of course you’re unsure about your flimsy facts? I’ve heard a lot of numbers and I honestly have no idea. Just thought you may have some hard evidence. But carry on with your hate mate. 😂

Are you pretending after 9000 posts and 5 years on this forum this is the first time you are hearing Brooks was on 900-1.1m?

I didnt realise he could talk until 2022.

No, I'm saying I don't know.
The only version that makes some sense to me is $550K, $550K, $920k, $1.1M.
I recall Pascoe raving about how he solved the cap problem and re-signed Brooks by back ending his contract. I've been conditioned to expect almost anything from the board and past administration, but I cannot see them cutting a deal for $1.1m pa. or as Brooks critics like to refer to it as "a million dollars per season."

It wasn’t personal nor was it abuse, it was just telling it how it is. And don’t pretend you’re not a Brooks fan. You creamed your pants when he threw a standard pass to DCE that any first grade 1/2 could throw and claimed he had a great game while ignoring the rest of the 79 minutes where he was invisible.

I’ll take my “flimsy” facts over your sycophantic slobbering over Brook’s ineptitude.
