Not sure why. We’re bottom 4 with or without him, better to take that money and sign a player actually worth what he’s on.

We cld find a solution that wld perform equally well for a fraction of the price

A solution that combined with what we are paying him to leave would come in less than what he costs us to keep him?

Thomsons and brooks are more or less a straight swap. Then bring in Ash Taylor on minimum wage 1 yr contract and we still have $1m to spend.

I am happy to let him go if we have a better option then Hastings/ Madden or Hasting/ Peachey.

We already have a replacement halfback who is raring to go, so what's the issue? We seriously going to stick with Brooks for a few more years, just because Douihei will miss a few weeks?

Club issued a statement from Sheens

Wests Tigers statement on Luke Brooks

Wests Tigers Director of Football Tim Sheens has issued the following statement regarding halfback Luke Brooks.

“Luke Brooks is contracted with Wests Tigers until at least the end of 2023 and, contrary to media speculation, will not be leaving the club.

“Luke is a proud local junior and an extremely talented halfback, who has shown an unquestionable level of commitment to Wests Tigers over a number of years. It is clear that he remains an integral part of the long-term plans of Wests Tigers and, in speaking with him, he too is equally focused and passionate on delivering sustained success for the club.

“Wests Tigers have been definitive on this matter and will continue to reiterate this against any untrue speculation. It is unfair on Luke, his teammates and family, as well as those involved with the club, to raise false conjecture on his future lying away from Wests Tigers when both he and the club are united on delivering success together.

“I have known Luke for a long time and am continually impressed by the way that he carries himself both on and off the field. I look forward to working with him again to give the proud Members of this club the performances and results they deserve.”

He says that HE is not happy..so why shld we pay a significant premium for him to leave?

Where di he say that?

It's been said on his behalf in the media. Nothing stopping him jumping on social media to say it's rubbish. His silence is endorsement. You might expect undermining a coach by BJ Leilua, but it cannot be tolerated by our halfback.

What I have heard is there are members of Luke's family that would like him to move on but Luke himself wants to stay.

If he wants to stay he needs to publicly back the coach. I've never been in the 'hate Brooks' club, but man am I sick of players undermining the coach/club.

Anymore evidence needed for who will start the year at 7?

What’s backing the coach publicly going to accomplish. There was a time Farah backed JT, which was clearly rubbish. Anything that is said publicly carries little weight.

Well I expect he will stay, but if ever we were going to try a different approach, now with a willing Newcastle was that chance.

Good on Brooks for staying
Contrary to most people on this forum I think he still a capable player. Sure he had some crap games this year but name one player in the team that didn't - all players need to pick up there game not just him. In my view there are quiet a few players much much worse than him. You could go through pretty much the whole team and pick holes in them if you wanted to

Anyway Sheens has made his decision and one way or another you will have to live with it

We just went through very public turmoil over who our coach will be, and we decided to stick with Madge. It is just not good enough to then have it in print that Brooks doesn't want to play under Madge, and for Brooks not to deny that. Even if it's just for appearance!

That’s it. Done. Like it or lump it. ‘tis what it is.move on, nothing to see here..

It’s comforting to know that 20% of the cap is allocated to Brooksy, Nofo and Luc on long term contracts. The future is as bright as a black hole.
