Why is there a lot of Brooks lovers saying West Tigers kicked Brooks out, When they did not.
Brooks was made a fair offer by West Tigers based on current value, and he knocked it back.
And accepted better offer from Manly.

BROOKS CHOICE,

Stop with the lies, he chose to go.

You said it in your sentence. How was our offer "current market value" if he had a team paying more?

You're kidding yourself if you think we couldn't have kept him. Only a few weeks ago he was talking about wanting to be a 1 club man.

The people spouting about being a brooks "lover" or "simp" just don't get it. Sure, move him on. But move him on WHEN we have a better option. Anything else is just as dumb as hell - we're now in a desperate position where any agent knows we'll be willing to pay overs for a half.

C'mon Hammer it was everywhere that Newcastle thought they had him last year and it was Sheens that blocked him from going.
Sheens and Benji couldn't make it any more clear that they wanted him at the club.
If he was unhappy with the offer but committed to the club that's what his manager is for - just like he did with Mitch Moses when he wasn't satisfied with Parra'a first offer but eventually got the deal with Parra that he wanted.
We offered Moses more than Parra but didn't get him because he wanted to play for Parra.
Brooks didn't enter into any further negotiations at WTs and neither did his manager - that was his choice.

After the board made it clear they didn't want him mate and lowballed. I have no doubt that if the Tigers wanted him, he would have stayed. He said as much in the BTR podcast.

WHAT IF - the delay in the Latu Fainu deal involves bringing Olakau'atu over too. Manly's recent Tigers signings could be up for an immediate trade.

Trust our recruitement/management!!

Lol

Why would Olakauatu come? He hasn’t been playing to his potential of late

If you think "the board" is now responsible for making decisions about the roster we may as well give it away now - no coach would tolerate that.
It's perfectly understandable why Brooks would want out and he of all the stakeholders is the person who is most responsible for all the decisions he has made.

Some people have things called previous commitments. Appointments and meetings actually need to be arranged for a time suitable to both parties.

We're struggling to convince a promising youngster and your thinking Olakau'atu is on the menu?
Love it if you were right but I think there's a snowflakes chance in hell that's happening.
 
Mainstream Media Circus. Wests Tigers express interest in Sharks halfback. Following the departure of Luke Brooks for next season, the Wests Tigers are on the hunt for a new halfback.

Previously expressing interest in Manly Sea Eagles youngster Latu Fainu, Catalans Dragons veteran Mitchell Pearce and NSW Blues star Mitchell Moses, the club has now set their sights on Braydon Trindall.

Joining the Cronulla Sharks in 2018, the future looked bright for Trindall, who debuted for the club two seasons later.

The primary halfback for the backend of the 2021 season, he was unfortunately overtaken by Nicho Hynes the following year, which saw his minutes decrease as he moved to the interchange bench.

The Wests Tigers have already expressed interest in the 23-year-old, per the Sydney Morning Herald, and the race to sign him could pick up given Luke Brooks will depart the club at the end of the season.

While he isn't off-contract until the end of 2025, the Sharks are likely to offer him a release considering he won't overtake Hynes in the No.7 jersey.

Plus, the re-signing of Daniel Atkinson means he could easily enter the team if injuries occur to Hynes or Matt Moylan.

Cronulla Fan " Sharks would be stupid to let him go. Much better to play Trindall in the halves with Hynes and retire Matt Moyland. It’s another example of Craig Fitzgibbon frozen into immobility; playing poorly performing old guys like Moyland, Wade Graham and Dale Finucane, rather than starting the youngsters like Trindall , Colquhoun and Hazleton".

Brooks accepted what the market was prepared to pay for him. The market has spoken. We know his manager is very good for his clients and it was obvious the negotiations would turn into a another Mitch Moses saga. I don't blame the club for not being up for it. I was not up for it and that is the reason I support not counter bidding. However, the club has to come up with a replacement.
