Luke Brooks

[GNR4LIFE]

More matches without a finals appearance than any player in history. Says it all really

Yep. The club he plays for is trash.

That is far more likely on the club not the player.Brooks is not an ideal 7 but our failures are a combined CLUB/PLAYER failure not just him.

You put Brooks in one of the top teams like Storm or Roosters & you will see the difference he is not the problem.

Brooks is on par with Brodie Croft… he would have been punted.

Let's not be silly now. Brodie Croft is another thing entirely.

Brodie Croft can't tackle. That's the big difference. Attacking wise there's very little difference

Youre correct..they both have zero in attack

Where there's smoke there's fire - Sheen's comments were simply a PR feel good smoke screen.

Brooks will be gone before the 2022 season.

I never said they were solely on him. But he is an endemic part of the problem and the club persisting with him no matter how poorly he's performing sets a standard in the organisation that poor performance has no consequences. Instead he gets extension on contracts and is made the club's top earner. Moving Brooks on is a statement from the club saying that they want things to change. They want a different culture and they are going in a different direction.

This coming year 2022 will be his first year as our top paid player as many of our overpaid have been moved on(M'Bye, Packer and last year Reynolds),The squad still is not strong but we need to see who we can get prior to 2022.I seriously believe he needs to be part of our 2022 season

My read is hartigan and/or madge were making plays to let him go and sheens has vitto it.

How about the staunch antivaxxer pommie who is suspended 90 percent of the time and who would improve the Bulldogs cap position ?

I'd prefer to swap him for Mitch Barnett or Frizell from Newy

Which would leave us with no established NRL halfback in an already depleted halves.

We already don't have an NRL established Halfback. We've got a proven failure and a hopeful in Hastings

 

[cktiger]

Well, decision made by the sounds of it. I support the team but I have such a low expectation of Brooks I will be very happy if he can get it together. If not , by at most halfway through the season, the knives will be out again for both Brooks and Maguire. I hope it can be turned around but please allow my doubts after 9 seasons and its everyone else's fault except Brooks. Brooks has to fire in the first half surely or that's it isn't it?

Decisions probably been made because Sheens has seen Hastings close up ......

Well he obviously hasn’t seen Brooks close up …

We actually do. Brooks is established. And the fact you think we could actually swap him supports the fact he is.

Bigger blunder than signing Blair!!
..but gets back to $$...why wld we want a 3rd half or five eight on mega$$ if he cant get a run on spot??Yep,guys are going to be injured etc...but it just doesnt make sense
On the other hand,we may not find anyone as silly as WTs willing to stump up his full freight,so we end up with yet another Mbye situation
Its problematic either way

 

[hank37w]

Sheens statement articulates that the club are unified in its decision making and possibly averts any crisis.
We of all people should know how the media - including social media - can be significantly damaging and pose further threat or harm to our brand/operations(including recruitment), so it's good for PR management.

I appreciated the reference to Luke's team mates and family. It's especially gotta be hell for them and his words are also rather respectful to them IMO.

How much more harm could our brand experience?
We are already a laughing stock within the game and our recruitment department is disrespected/taken advantage of by all other clubs.
The only thing missing is an extremely well deserved spoon.
Next year…

Maybe if you didn't focus on the thoughts of others it wouldn't be bothersome for you. There's also something wrong with the fact you've taken a swipe at my post because you can't control it.
I'd for once like to support my team without having to deal with negative and passive aggressive people.

…and I would like to see my club succeed.
Sticking by a halfback who has failed for 8 years consecutively is not going to achieve this.

Are you comfortable trying to bully a woman?
Why engage with someone who you clearly disagree with, for the simple sake of an argument?

hhahaha what a pissweak reply...
The sexist card eh?
pathetic

It was perhaps an error of judgement to play that card.

It doesn’t take a man to point it out…

Doesn't matter if I'm male female or those other new ones these days
If it were the race card, the gay card... Any card, I'm calling out that post for what it is.
Falsely accusing someone of bullying is pathetic
Online bullying is very serious and has led to suicide from genuine victims... Its Nothing to make light of

Lauren's posts are always well considered and insightful. I hope Lauren continues to post her contributions.

+1

Who is getting bullied ....

I would say that if anyone on here was getting bullied, it would probably be you mate.

You are always copping crap from every angle, but having said that, you actual thrive on it.

Not quite sure how you came to that conclusion. To me the club pretty much put its foot down.

Some will distort anything to be able to cling on to the fantasy.

Yup, every time Tigers have said someone isn't going to leave they always stay 👍🏻

Except those times weren’t the first time Sheens made a statement representing the club. If he was to leave, what’s the point of Sheens? He looks totally powerless

Been some pretty high up people releasing statements regarding departing players and coaches and it's never really worked out

I don't think Brooks will leave but it won't be because of a statement, it's because the club has an infatuation with him and Brooks has a great gig here. Guaranteed a first grade spot regardless of performance and on the big dollars
