Maguire may like Brooks but does Brooks like playing under Maguire. There have been a few rumours about Luke not liking the style of play and things of that nature and now that i think of it i have never heard Brooks praise Maguire. Maybe he has but i cant recall it.

Wouldnt surprise me if he is playing well looking to audition for this suggested new club.

Maguire also really likes Hastings, so while not many of us rate the bloke the coach does and it may be as simple as he sees him as better than any halfback we can get out of the NRL player market.

I thought there was a stage during last weeks game - at the end, that we kicked into gear, quick play the balls, running rampant - that is our style... that is Wests Tigers... and Brooks plays just like that.

I hope that what I have passed on to the forum about Luke not being here next year is just some more garbage about our club and people are speculating on opinions....I do think that within the NRL there are people who know a lot more than we do,coaches,managers and players all communicate among themselves about things we arent privy to...
I dont really know anything about Mitch Moses apart from his time with us,but I think someone on here said that they shared accommodation together and are still friends...maybe something was said and my Parra member mate has picked up on it or has got it wrong...
In my honest opinion I hope Luke stays as he has really stepped up this year and AD will be a great halves partner for him,having said that we all know how things can change in a heart beat within the NRL involving contracts and signings...

Your comment regarding players speaking amongst themselves is interesting. It's a small community. Do you think the word is out to not come to WTs?

It's garbage..

How can you be sure?

Ok it's not..everyone happy now..

Fair enough. Didn’t think it was an unreasonable question

Mate every indication I have heard from the Club - Maguire - Pascoe - Hartigan - Brooks himself is that there is no truth to it at all..

I guess you could say nothing is ever 100%.. it won't stop speculation of course..

I'm sure Brooks will be here in 2022.. but again that doesn't mean much either...

I dont think it is about not coming to the WTs,but moreso people seeing what our roster is producing on the field atm...they see Luke trying his best,defending,kicking and organising but being let down by young players learning making error after error and stopping the momentum that was being built by Luke and others...this leads to frustration and lack of confidence within the team and squad...some would say for example what I heard myself from a WTs member ""Brooks is wasting his time and effort in this team and club""...It only takes a few negative comments like that and the Chinese whispers start to roll around...I do hope this is the case,as I have said many times that I have been a critic of Lukes over the years,but also have given credit where its due...I do think he will continue to improve on his form from this year,but he needs good support from the players,not a heap of errors that stop him and others going forward,Madge will need more time to hone the skills of the younger guys and get them to be regularly competative at the NRL level...
 
@Geo @hobbo1 @TrueTiger

Have you noticed how much love J. Hastings has been showing AD on Twitter?

Outside looking in, it looks like he's very excited to play with AD next year.

Where there is smoke, there is fire.
This rumour won't go away.....
I gotta strange feeling Brooks is on the way out.

How many times does a coach say, "Yeah, Nah... not going anywhere" then a week later they're gone.

Interesting times a head.

Both Doueihi and Brooks are local juniors. Both are playing really well in a badly defeated team. It seems logical that Hastings is a fix to a problem which doesn't exist.
 
I came away from Saturday thinking, “please don’t f!ck with our spine anymore”. The four are just going to get better and let them work on their combinations. I liked how Brooks looked, I use to be on the fence, now I think fix everything around him and the spine.

Hastings IS playing with AD next year. What’s so eyebrow raising about that?

Random downvotes everywhere today. ?

To me, it looks like... Hastings is aware that he will be playing in the halves with AD or is praising him as he wants to push to take the 7.

I could be wrong though.
All (in my opinion, happy to be wrong...) looks to me like Brooks will be playing for a new team in 2022, despite what Madge says.

Why is every post getting downvoted?

Yeah, I think so but I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't.... feels like something is cooking.
