Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

If we could just get rig of Brooks and play out of one home ground, we would be set for a 20 year dynasty

Dunce cap your way sir....

How does a 20 year dynasty come from under a CEO who doesn't understand basic cap rules - so gets caught out grandstanding to the media about a non-executed letter of offer to a player he allowed the incompetent coach to drive away while under contract....?

(Along with our wannabe celebrity ambulance chasing suburban compensation lawyer pseudo-Chairman who personally intervened to ensure the retention of Nofoaluma)??

And you blame Brooks....

What you have to ask yourself with the players we have signed is, would other clubs want them? Peachy didn’t have a contract, and probably would have either retired or gone to England. Hastings and Gildart, I couldn’t see Gildart starting for any other club in round 1, which shows how weak we are in the centres. And Hastings was the man of steel. But so was Sam Tomkins.

Why would Api and Papalii be happy to come to WT then? They were sought-after. Stefano re-signing long term?

Just ignore.....

The fact that the Axel Rose fan boy thinks Jason Taylor was a legitimate coach has destroyed any microscopic credibility he had prior to that ongoing brain fart

And it continues to perpetuate the lie that JT was hamstrung in recruitment by salary cap issues when reality was we had the funds to keep the so-called big 5 - but all but Brooks had zero interest in staying under the dysfunction of the Pascoe-Go-Taylor triumvirate

What's your main account lol
 
Hey guys,any student of the game knows that trials are just that ,trials,Brooks only played what he had to,when Hastings comes into the side Brooks will play a much better game...I would even say that at this point in time,Hastings will be the general and call most of the shots,just my opinion...
To be fair,Luke had the club icon beside him and then some also rans most of his career Madden is a genuine great NSW cup player,not at NRL level playmaker standard...Hastings will at least cover for Brooks when toughness and smarts are needed as well as cope with the pressure that sometimes Luke fails at...

Lets not start the wrist slitting just yet....I will hide the razor blades until about round 6/7,lets see how things go when we are at full strength and a few games under the belt..

Wise words, cobber.

Last night as quite terrible but yeah, a hat trick is a trial by Vaega- may never see him again.

See how the year plays out.
The expectations are low.

It’s Axl, not Axel. Maybe your memory is fuzzy, but they all left AFTER Taylor was sacked. Cleary had taken over by then. If Taylor was the reason they left, that timeline is a weird one then. And no, Im not defending Taylor, these are just facts. Common sense tells you they were done with this club, regardless of who the coach was.

There is no victim mentality being displayed here. Just stating that whenever i post you have are not far behind. Like i said its flattering but its not what im looking for in a relationship.

Might have to hit the foe and put a restraining order on this crap.

Did you sleep last night. In two short sentences, can you put together a simple post of what's on your mind, no big words now. 😰

Agree mate, Madden is average in attack.

In fairness he's probably a 7 not a 6. We not playing him right. Like that early kick he did. He'd be better picking his moments like that. But hard to see where else he can inject himself.

Interesting to see how Hastings and Brooks go
