@ said:@ said:Was it just coincidental that Ivan only signed Brooks for 2 years, knowing Nathan was off contract at the same time.
I'm going to say yes. The plan was to always splinter the contracts of Brooks, Moses, Woods and Tedesco, and not have them all coming off contract at the same time again. Brooks was always going to get the shortest offer out of the 4.
On Cleary's comments about Nathan, I wouldn't be surprised if they were partly a tactical ploy to stick a rocket up Brooks. It's got to be embarrassing for him that his coach is talking about a potential replacement for him, two years down the track. Let's see how he responds.
Brooks has to respond in a big way or I see by mid season someone from the lower grades in the 7 ..I do not think Brooks will be at the club come 2019 has already peaked.
