Rothfield tweeting now that brooks didn't deserve the award amongst a couple of others. What a douchebag
Can't the guy let these players enjoy the moment for a second. What kind of self centred person does that.

That just put his price up a notch. Good luck to him. I do hope he re-signs.

Funny old season this one, I wouldn't say the top pollers in the Dally Ms were expected by anyone, especially how few of those players actually played into (or far into) the finals.
Good on Brooks for his consistency, which is what you want from a club halfback. Next year he has to keep that consistency and improve his performances in the tighest and highest-profile matches.
Brooks didn't poll a point in the last 3 rounds, when RTS got 3 in Rd 25 and Ponga was out Rd 26\. Brooks could have even taken the top prize with some better results in the final few rounds, i.e. when Tigers season was truly on the line.

Rothfield on NRL360 last night:
Coach of the Year: Buzz picked Trent Robinson - Siebold won
Captain of the Year: Buzz picked RTS - Cam Smith won
Rookie of the Year: Buzz picked Jesse Ramien - Isaako won
Female Player: Buzz picked Isabelle Kelly - Brittany Breayley won
Buzz picked none from four picks so dont pay attention to that muppet.
Brooks was the best halfback in 2018, but it was a weak season for halfbacks in general (Id say only Brooks and Townsend are the only two halfbacks who had their best season of their career) and add a touch of luck with Pearce and Cleary being injured for big chunks of the year. The upside is there is still alot of improvement in Brooks game, looking forward to further improvement and consistency in 2019.

He was also playing at least the last five rounds after his coach had commenced discussions with a rival club to break his contract, which soon cast a shadow over the whole team. Possibly a big factor in not securing more votes in that critical period.

So was Ivan lying about having discussions (his words per statement) with Penrith, and/or, why would anyone from the club mention WT will not be releasing him?
The known fact is he has a contract with WT, so if you know of any other contract that Ivan may have other than the NRL coaching position, it would be great if you could let everyone know and then there will be another contract which he can be released from.

Luke Brooks was awarded 26 Dally M points whilst Nathan Cleary was awarded only 7 Dally M points (source Daily Telegraph). Given that Cleary was out injured for 9 weeks he would have had to score an average of 2 points in every one of those 9 weeks to pip Brooks by one point. I think that would have been somewhat unlikely.
Can't believe there are fans on here posting negative comments about Brooks - what more do you want? The guy played behind a very average pack in a team with few match winners, he was close to winning Dally M player and won the Dally M half. He delivered some pretty high stats in all areas of his game and improved out of sight this season in key areas such as his short kicking game and defence. Compared to other quality halves he is being paid below average.. Really? Apart from winning every game single handedly what else can you expect from the guy??
I say congratulate him profusely and sign him up to another 3 years with an upgrade for next season!

I think it would be unlikely as well - but 8 weeks out doesn't even give him a chance.
Not saying he would have been given any points in those games - maybe he might have been given 3 in each of them.
Who knows, but you can't rip into him without a level playing field. That's all I'm saying.
