Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

Just another spin on Brooksy 1.1m final year payment as some may or may not know the final year salary was the result of a back ended deal that had to be done to keep Brooks at the club and at the time he was our best option.Why was a back ended deal needed thanks to the outrageous signings and payments Ivan made during his time at the club the b****tard been gone 3 years and he's still causing us grief

Yea but it would be nice to win some games in 2022 - once Douehi is back unless we have started to win a couple of games i would revamp the whole side. Madden and Douehi in the halves Hastings to lock and Brooks to either 9 or 14 depending on whether Simpkins or Liddle has upped their game.

I think the club had no choice, Storm were chasing hard on Brooks to replace Cronk.
 
Always been a backer of Brooks mainly due to nobody being better, but with Madden outplaying him in every game so far - I think it would be awfully cruel to dump him once Hastings is back.

Really hope we don't use his 1.1m contract next year as a reason to keep picking him if Madden deserves a spot. Stronger clubs have no issue getting larger players off their books and we need to just be ruthless here. Tell him Jock has won the spot, you're playing reserve grade to work on your game - when Doueihi gets back you will be 3rd in the pecking order.

Force Brooks to either take a pay cut with another club or request a release from our contract. If he prefers to waste away for a year and a half in reserve then we just bite the bullet and have a decent backup half with injuries.

Bellamy winning a comp with Brooks at 7 would be the ultimate coaching flex.

If this article ain't sarcasm, it'd have to be a bet between Smith and Bellamy 😂

April Fool's joke .. in which most Fox articles appear to be.
 
Nothing changes until brooks is moved on... At 1.1m u have to have an influence over the game. A match winner. After 8 years the majority of us have worked it out... Time to cut our loses here give jock a go...
 
Massive failure by the club.

From the price tag to the opportunities to the expectation they put on a young man that never looked up to it.

They've let the team down.
They've let the stakeholders and us fans down,
But most of all they let Luke Brooks down.
