Luke Brooks

[Mr Angry]

I am happy he finally had a second good game after a decade.

He maybe one day finals.

 

[westerntiger]

Surely. last night's sensational performance puts Brooks in the running for an origin berth?

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Poor kid. Played really well last night and still being bagged on here.

Pot calling the kettle…….
I don’t think he is being bagged for last nights game.
How’s Peachey holding out on your site?

 

[Benchtiger]

Credit where credit is due Brooks played well last night, hopefully that form and involvement will continue.

 

[Tigerm]

Brooks game has improved a bit, I won’t say a lot, he still dies with the ball on last too much imo, but better than the first 7 games.

So, do we still chase a 7 or a 6?

Does Wakeham retain his spot over Brooks in our future?
Or
Keep the current two to develop a better combination?

keep chasing and keep brooksy on his toes. Plays good footy when his place in the squad is under threat

 

[Pezz70]

We need a half back, Brooks has been okay the last couple of weeks but we’re still having massive dramas scoring points, if over the next few weeks we can keep the good footy going and he starts to set a few tries up with decent passes in the opp 20 you’d be happy enough to go along with him. His kicking game has been pretty good seems to be getting a few more bombs into the opp red zone, still not finding the in goal with last tackle plays but there seems to be a plan just to turn the ball over to the opposition on the last and get the defensive line set, I’d rather gamble on a try, getting the ball back or give away a 7 tackle set than die with it but….

 

[Tiger Ted]

It’s absolutely essential we sever ties with Brooks this season.We must find a quality game managing 7.It’s our Achilles heel.If we had one we’d be currently sitting in the top 8.

Tend to agree, Leopards don't change their spots. It is our weakest link.

Tend to agree, Leopards don't change their spots. It is our weakest link.

But his last two games have shown what we’ve been needing and missing from a halfback.
Whatever happens, I just hope the f**k he isn’t putting this effort in to get his new (possibly last) contract.

 

[WA Tiger]

No buts…
It makes me laugh how Brooks decides to go walkabout looking for a gap to run through, while other halves at least have a dummy or they create a situation where they can pass or kick as a last option but not Brooks. He runs into a dead end or gets tackled every single time… Problem is he can’t assess, plan, execute . That cut out pass (I think it was the last tackle) , that looked like he’d seen something. In fact he saw nothing but passed anyway and the receiver was tackled on the spot.
…see ya later

This has ruined my day.

Unforgivable decision by the imbeciles.

 

[Apey]

Hmm your biggest problem this year is scoring points so you better extend your halfback who will surely come good in 2024. I feel sorry for the fans.

While it is fun to knock Brooks, deservedly so based on his salary, if we resign him for 400k and he plays outside SJ or (prays to the footy gods) Hunt it won’t be the worst option and given what is on the market with AD basically out for next year probably the best we could hope for

The 15 reasons Luke Brooks should baulk at fresh Tigers extension

As he prepares to celebrate his 200th game for the joint venture, the Tigers veteran is set be offered a new contract – but the revolving door of halves partners should give him pause.

I am missing something here
Although sheens could offer Brooks minimum wage

 

[westerntiger]

Luke brooks: *plays three decent games*

Wests tigers: $1.5 million deal through to 2033.

being sarcastic here but hopefully don’t give Pascoe any ideas

More chance of petrol going back to 75c a litre then us signing Brooks for 400k.
We will continue to underwhelm with him running the show.
