Luke Brooks #167

I thought Woodsy was a bit harsh with his comments about Tigers fans during the week and that's what has prompted me to share my position on Luke.

What happens on the field stays on the field... Woodsy knows this.... it's the same for us passionate fans. We might get heated during the game, but once it's over there's no animosity.

I ripped into Brooksy ALOT tonight from the sidelines. I loved every second of it.... Not because I dislike the guy, but because he left us. Im loyal to the Tigers... I still consider him a Tiger at heart, it just didn't work out here and he needed change, and so did we. As much as I hate Manly I'd like to see Luke succeed.

Some of the memes with the BBQ are pretty funny, but I hope people aren't carrying genuine dislike for the bloke.

I just wanted to show some love for Luke now the games done and dusted. I think he's a good player and even better bloke, you just won't catch me saying that anytime he plays the tigers.

I think most of us who booed last night share your sentiment

Woods.......the club captain encouraging players to go with him to other clubs, giving sit down interviews......is that the Woods we are talking about? 🤣 Didn't get half of what he deserved, although as a player, karma got him.

I can honestly say that I have barely given Brooks a second's thought since he left. Only reason I did last night was because he was playing against us and the insufferable commentary. Probably a reason he hasn't played semi's in 11 years or whatever it is (beside mediocre WT teams) is that he just doesn't have it. He is a serviceable NRL half with good pace and doesn't normally shirk defence. He showed numerous times with us that he can't lead a team and isn't anywhere near an elite half. The only reason I can assume he has been "playing well" at Manly is that he has an elite 1/2 inside him, an elite FB to work with and a pretty strong pack.

Let's be honest, most serviceable NRL level 1/2's would do well in those circumstances.

He showed again last night he can't handle pressure and weight of expectations and if his team struggles he can't lift them.

Lost no sleep after he left and will continue not to do so. No longer a WTiger, no longer worth any of my brain's bandwidth.

Also, in response to a lot of posts, I don't wish him any ill fortune, but also don't wish him success. Why? I don't know him, not a friend or family. Don't care he played with us for however long. We paid him a literal kings ransom and he didn't deliver. No more relevance to me than Ahmad Bajouri.

Yeah well said... We made him an offer.. Manly offered more... He never dogged it with us and he showed some incredible.toughness at times
He's living rent free in many Tigers Heads as obvious here
