Brooksy

[gitano]

Will Brooks go down in history as the only 100+ game NRL player that had the best game of his career on debut?

Amos Roberts is the only name that springs to mind. 22 points or so on debut. Bit of a plodder afterwards.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Or that Gold Coast winger Jordan Atkins who scored 4 tries on debut.

Played another 55 games for 11 tries.

 

[TheVelourFog]

The media couldn't beat it up if he wasn't there in the first place

Turns out Brooks was attacked by a drunken group of nobodies just looking for a fight

What a joke

What a joke

actual facts of the night:

brooks carrying a tray of drinks is confronted by some guy hes never met trying to be a hero starting a fight with an NRL player

brooks ignores him however is bumped and spills his drinks on other patrons. the guy who confronted him is kicked out, brooks apologies to the people he spilt his drinks on and everythings fine

when brooks and his group leave the other gusy are waiting for them and try to start a fight. brooks doesnt get involved.

police called and the whole group is taken down to the station for questioning.

brooks is released without charge

daily telegraph and channel 7/9 run with the headline 'Tigers Star Luke Brooks Arrested after brawl in Balmain Pub'

Seems like accurate reporting- par for the course anyway.

Paul Kent on nrl360 (probably): 'what are these young men doing going out and putting themselves in these situations. The clubs need to do more the game is in crisis when will these guys learn blah bla bla

Haha it's amazing

James Tedesco could get his hair cut at a barber shop and it'd be front page of the news paper

Media loves to bash the tigers into oblivion

Imagine if we started to win games, they'd have nothing to report on

When is that likely to happen ?

When is that likely to happen ?

Not this year

Hence the "imagine"

Thought that was easy to read

Easy cliff

I was talking about the haircut

 

[toomuchsoup]

I think a 5 week ban plus $100,000 fine is appropriate

Thanks Luke

Hopefully this doesn't become a "welfare issue" to get out of a recently signed contract...

[Leigh Howlett]

The difference between the AFL media and the NRL media, one code sweeps it under the carpet while the other kicks the code when it's down, like a Southpark episode where Officer Barbrady says nothing to see here just move along, in the NRL world they just flog a dead horse, so much for promoting the game.

Braith Anasta was on fire on debut....all downhill from there.
