Super doubtful mate, Bennett had him at the Broncs forever and wouldn’t play him. let him off to south’s early, then buy coincidence ended up following him there…
Then let him out of there early to go to the dogs… doesn’t seem to like him at all

Can you blame him?
 
Ah more humans, we thought we were the only ones left. Someone tell me what to agree with quick.
 
Brooks has great front on defensive technique and when he can be bothered applying himself, is quite handy. His lateral defence is still suspect.
However, Lui was able to do a number of things Luke can only dream of in attack, was quick between the ears and understood how to pace our play and implement our game plans.

Found it, not sure how i feel about doing both boxing and footy, but then flegg players are part time so i guess it's his perogative what he does outside of footy. There will likely need to be a decision one day about what comes first though.

Still only 20, the son of Australian boxing great Anthony Mundine will wear No.1 into the Tigers season opener against Victoria Thunderbolts at Waminda Oval, Campbelltown. The young fullback’s club debut comes just weeks before also appearing on the undercard of Sonny Bill Williams’ heavyweight clash against retired AFL star Barry Hall.

Despite the unlikely sporting conflict, Tigers head coach Scott Kenna says Mundine Jnr had been “firing” in pre-season and won’t be adversely impacted by any weight cut. In fact, with Mundine Jnr expected to fight at light heavyweight, Kenna said he was “already close to the weight he’ll be fighting” in Sydney on March 23. Apart from being coached by his famous grandfather Tony, CJ will also have dad in his corner for his professional boxing debut.

“And we knew coming here that CJ would be fighting,” Kenna said. “So we’re happy to let him do that.” Right now, he’s still sticking to our training program. “Even though he’s boxing, it isn’t like he has had to stop doing anything to make weight.” Then when he fights, we’ll just wait to see how hard it is before deciding if he plays the next week or not.“ So we’re flexible. We’ve planned around it.”

Asked if CJ shared any attributes of the old man, Kenna continued: “He’s fairly quiet when you first meet him. “But once you get to know him, yeah, every now and then a little bit of Mundine comes out and he just laughs at you. “Almost plays with it.“ So he really is an awesome kid.” He’s a little bit cheeky at times which you need in your side. “But he’s also very respectful. “And a skilful footballer who is really intelligent, too.

After stints with both South Sydney and St George Illawarra, Mundine arrived at Wests Tigers in pre-season having overcome a hip dislocation. So he was a bit slow first couple of weeks as expected,” Kenna said. "But he’s firing now.” Got through all the trials really well.“ He’s definitely one of the players we’re looking to develop.

”Apart from Mundine, two other Tigers to keep a close eye on are center pairing Junior Tupou and Trey Peni.“Junior is in the Tigers fulltime squad already and Trey has been training with them (all summer),” Kenna said. “And coming back to us now, they’re bringing a lot of confidence and knowledge.” Because of their leadership too, those traits are bleeding into the rest of the squad. So we’re getting a lot of experience from them being up with the NRL players.”

Good luck to him. Regardless of one's thoughts on the individual, if he gets anywhere near as good as footballer as his old man he will be going alright.
