Luke Brooks

[Marshall_magic]

sandow was fun to watch, somewhat random and occasionally ridiculously brilliant. Not sure brooks is anything like that

Both have talent but completely wiff the huge moments and lack consistency.

 

[Munky]

Sandow was one the best down hill skiers I've ever seen.

I don't think Brooks can match him there.

 

[Gallen Towers]

Sandow actually had talent.

I was going to compare Brooks to Ben Kusto but then I realised that Kusto actually played a lot of finals for the Eels.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Both the Wests Tigers and Brooks would be better off making a clean break from each other in my opinion. Brooks looks stale and also he is holding back other players (e.g. Madden) who may be able to do better for the Tigers.

 

[Someguy]

Being called the next Joey hexed him

All stemmed from a debut against the dragons. No one should have believed the hype

 

[Frailty]

The Tigers refusal to drop him damaged the club and Brooks.

He can do some good things, but it's surrounded by plays that come from a player that lacks confidence, timing, etc. If he was dropped to NSW Cup for a decent block of time against easier competition he could have worked on his game more, gained a bit of confidence, and potentially come back to the NRL after a while looking refreshed.

The fact he's on the money he's on is just ridiculous.

Then at the end of the year, the club's COO and his little excel spreadsheet will show a shit percentage of the salary cap has played NRL during the season. Missing through injury is undesirable but unavoidable. Suspension a little less palatable again. But you can't have a fit player on a million bucks running around with part-timers in Cup though. It would be saying that the bloke he signed him should be out of the job - and that bloke would be the COO or one of his colleagues.

i'd pick nathan fien over him

I was at that game. I thought we'd been carved up by the next Andrew Johns. Turns out we were just shit.

If Brooks went to Easts or Melbourne when he was 20 he would have played 15 Origins by now. He and the Tigers are equally to blame for his career. I have no idea why 1) the club want to keep him or 2) why he wants to stay, obvious to everyone its best for both parties if he leaves

Well he would stay cause no one is paying next seasons salary for him. And come the end of next season, someone will sign him for his correct value. So brooks holds all the chips. Up to the tigers to make something happen. For the tigers it’s only one season. If you get say 4-500k back. Well that’s a start. Then the season after you have heaps to play with.

Better than Moses you think?

*premiership winner Nathan Fien

I can think of over a million reasons why he'd want to stay at the tigers.

With the Klemmer situation at the Knights, it's probably in both club's interest to sit down and discuss options.

Both signed for next year on big money. If they agree to do a player swap, then they can sit down with each player and rework their contracts so they aren't as bad financially in one year, and sign them for a bit longer to spread the load.

His teammates need to encourage a vaping addiction.

 

[Pink Panther]

Vaping is bad for you

Why would the Tigers want Klemmer?

It’s better than accepting 500k for him to play elsewhere. It’s not like Klemmer is a bum.

They're already carrying a stupid prop contract with Tamou, though I'm not sure when that one ends.
