Luke Brooks #167

2023 potential backline
1. Staines
2. Nofo
3. Naden
4. Douhie
5. Ken M
6. Laurie
7. Brooks

Hopefully Doueihi to 6, Hastings to 7 and Brooks gone.

Then if Doueihi and Hastings don't show us they have it see you later. Laurie has to prove himself as well. He should be trying to make the fullback spot his own.

We have 3 spine players who need to show they are worth sticking with over the next couple of years.

Brooks leaving means those guys get more opportunities which means we more opportunities to judge them.

Not bad with some interchangeable parts.
I think pre season training and trials very important, may sort out a few things, like is Laurie up to NRL 5/8, are he and Brooks the best fit, is Dooway better as a right centre at 3, is Staines the answer at FB etc:
Or do the new brains trust have other ideas( and players). It’s certainly going to be interesting times ahead.

If ‘Doueihi and Hastings don't show us they have it” then there is no room to move if Brooks is gone.

Sorry mate, Brooks is staying, at least for 23, so I read this morning.

There is still Laurie. We have if Brooks goes Hastings, Doueihi, Laurie and Staines all trying to get those spine positions with the big dollars.
 
There is a long time to go before the season starts. Let's see what happens. It's not even Nov 1 yet and a lot can happen up until pre-season starts.
I may need to stand corrected , just re read the article( The Mole) and it says the Brooks/ Klemmer swap is definitely off but Sheens has reiterated he wants Brooks, and perhaps Klemmer as well, for 23.
 
Ok, we have our answer. Brook staying with Tigers in 23 but may go to Knights in 24( I guess it depends on 23 performance and any subsequent WT offer).
Klemmer may come to us in 23, if not, looks like definitely 24.
With that I think you can assume Hastings at 13, Brooks at 7 and Dooway at 6.
Brooks or Douhie are neither organising halves with a decent kicking game.

They play 5/8 rolls. Think Douhie should be centre myself. Hasn't done enough to justify at 5/8th
 
Over two hundred threads on this guy and they're all closed except this one. You can still read the posts in the other threads.
Future generated threads of Brooks will be deleted or merged. What a nightmare.
As I went through them, there were so many comments about the same thing.
Members thinking they've thought of something original but in fact it has been said sooooo many times before.
It's for this reason that we don't generate duplicate threads or variants. 👍

This is the way it may play out as well. At the same time it's like when Gus says the Dogs aren't looking to sign Ciraldo and they sign him for 5 years.

We just have to wait and see what happens.
 
Is the #167 in the thread title his playing number or is this the 167th thread banging on about our half? I hope it's the former....be sad if it's the latter.
