Luke Brooks undecided on future. Admits he could leave Tigers

[white]

Brooks and co want to win premierships and play in rep teams. Staying at struggling club like the Tigers it is hard to achieve those goals. Hence they want out. As explained to me. I've been told it is not about the dollars but the above reasons

Holy X attitude…. Winning comes easy as they get everything

my brother who coached him says he is leaving. sorry guys havent posted for a while. he mentioned two clubs . have to wait and see

Not going to happen mate. All these guys care about is playing with their mates.

I'd bet that this is not true.

Page no6…I wonder what we will get to by June especially if he decides to walk. I just hope these contract negotions do not rail road our season. We need everyone pulling 100% in the same direction. We also need Them to actually appoint a person to the football operations manager so he or her can take over all the contract negations.

I agree, I don't think players can be predicting who will win comps in the next few years and jumping ship. Especially 21 year olds, they would be about setting themselves up financially.

Everyone wants to join Cowboys this year? They used to be rubbish. What about Souths 2014, who wanted to go there?

I too hope this doesn't become too much of a distraction for Brooks.. I wish these sorts of negotiations weren't allowed to take place till the end of the season. :brick:

If this is true you have to worry about who gets into their ear,people like Gould,Bellemy and Hasler I would imagine could sell them a very good sales pitch and for a young kid they might be easy to sway.

I posted before Xmas that he's looking to get out,hopefully he will have a change of heart when the Comp. is in full swing but Robbie sounding out Souths certainly wouldn't have helped.

They weren't worried about the Struggling Tigers when the Struggling Tigers signed them up on mega contracts before they'd barely played first grade….

If we weren't paying them double what they're worth, Maybe we wouldn't be struggling?

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

If he wants to go, power to him. I don't want anyone here who doesn't want to be here.

 

[Chadman_s_Ghost]

If he signs elsewhere, so be it.

Jordan Rankin signed a 2 year deal- ready made replacement there.

Are you guys serious when you say let him go, who cares etc? Or just sick of hearing about it? Seriously how could you be happy if he left he's the best halfback we've had in 10 years… My mate who went to school with Luke says its just the same old media speculation and that he loves the Tigers and doesn't want to leave. I've not seen any article to suggest otherwise it's all just spin. Headlines with no context. You've just got to ignore it until we get to June and he commits to the Tigers the media will shut up then

 

[supercoach]

Certainly agree with Marzie… I care if he goes, the last time we had a great no7 I had a full head of hair and let me tell you that was a few years ago. Okay he is not a great no7 yet, but within another season he will be

I never said who cares or that he's certain to leave. I imagine that we'll offer a sensible contract he will stay. If rival clubs offer overs and he goes, that is his prerogative. It will suck, but that's footy these days. What I don't want is the club jeopardising it's cap over one player. I'm really looking forward to seeing how DCE's contract affects Manly in the coming seasons.

I agree CB , how Manly have managed to get Myles , Taupau , Dylan Walker , Koroisau , Lewis Brown , Darcy Lussick is truly a work of Art…...while we have to be content with player signings such as : Ballin , Grant , Edwards with past NRL pedigree.
Mind you i think they are great Bargain signings no doubt and i must say JT has done a great job with what his had to work with , but in terms of big name signings ? will just have to wait to get ourselves sorted.

Same goes for Parra's signing spree over the last 2 off seasons, and they think they can still fit Hayne in, we suck big time at these type things, this is where we need to improve and fast.

Kid could have just changed his mind…I probably wouldn't know what to do if I was him either.

Play with my mates like Milone and Moses or join another more professional organisation with more stability.

I wouldn't care if he was my mate or not, i wouldn't take that into consideration playing with Milone :laughing:
