Luke Brooks #167

[lathami]

we will only re-sign Brooks due to the fact we could not land anyone that is better....a pretty sad indictment on the clubs recruitment ability..

Don’t agree, they were always keen on brooks. But as a running half, they have been just looking 4 a controlling half to pair up with him. Doueihi the backup but we won’t be seeing him for a long while.
I don’t get moving joffa on at this stage, unless we are signing someone else? Just doesn’t make sense otherwise, as we are not to far out of the eight.

Thanks Mikey, I don't check the Dally M, the judges have their favourites

All good. Your comment piqued my interest.
Do you still have the Duke? I've added a 1986 BMW R80 with a 1,000cc kit in it; and a same year BMW K75C to my stable recently.

I sure do mate, it could be on historic rego now it's over 30 years old, but I don't want to part with my PG-851 plate which is free to have, I bought it before the yearly charges were introduced.

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.

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.

I’m pretty sure Brooks won’t regress once he signs a new deal , I can’t believe people think he will ,he would be busting to plays finals footy and we have players who have done it in Klemmer , API , Pappi , Bateman , to lead the way , yes we have had a shit show start but we all must admit we are getting better and should be at lease 2/3 wins more so far , With the young guys coming good like Stef and Bulla we be solid in 24 , and the club will add a couple more and move a bit more dead wood on ,

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 contract.

Well we did sign someone better.

Jackson Hastings was then punted by the club.
Sure Hastings isn't a Gun or tier 1 halfback. But he clearly was a first grader starter.
We then hired Wakeham on what I thought wasn't that much less money then Hastings 550k contract....

^all of the above is utterly stupid..

^all of the above, is somehow working for us now !?!?

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.

 

[The Fresh Oil]

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.

 

[batboy]

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.

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.

 

[hank37w]

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.

 

[Stevec]

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

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