There is no way he is on 1.1m , this club has never spent that on a player and if they did it would be BIG news .

Ps.. if he was it would have been from a back end deal where the club paid him massive unders for a few years

Media are completely full of shit. How the f**k do they know how much he is on? They also claim he asked for a release multiple times. Why in the sweet f**k would he ask for a release if he's on 1.1 million next year? Clubs aren't allowed to back end deals anyway so this would imply he's been on 1.1 million a season since he was re signed

He ain’t worth 200k so the argument is moot.
Ive been calling for his head for at least 6 years now.
He hasn’t got any worse in that time. Just stays constant mud.

That deal could easily have slipped by the radar..If Madge thought Brooks was the next superstar and he obviously did, it’s standard that Brooks would expect a pay increase at a certain point…I think I remember there being a delay

& They would deny it if it wasn’t true!

I don't think he is on 1.1 mill but let's be honest it totally sounds like something we would do.
If you read team spends 1.1 on halfback who no one else wanted for 800, the first team that would spring to mind would be us.

They denied he was leaving, the denied they have been talking with Flanno. I'm pretty sure someone would deny him being on 1.1m if it wasn't true just so that at least they didn't look like complete imbeciles

I agree with your sentiment Stryker. I wouldn't mind if the Bulldogs took him for $600 grand. $750g would be a dream.

There’s only 1 team glaringly dumb enough to pay massive overs for bums & unfortunately this pathetic bum is currently on our payroll.U would have to have rocks in ur head to show any interest in brooks whatsoever.Id b doing cartwheels if he were offered 500k & we took the sizeable haircut.Andrew johns deadset is off his head & must be ingesting something seriously nasty re his delusional opinion of brooks.

The grubs contract was a perfect example of how fkd this club is.We offered him 300-400k per annum more than what his beloved junior club offered him.

I'll bag the club as much as anyone however I call complete BS on the Brooks $1.1m contract. Its widely reported the Knights wanted him, does anyone honestly think that would be the case if that was his contract?
Its a load of rubbish.. If that figure was true the club would of let him walk to knights as he is no where near worth 1.1mil . These are the same media that stated he was on 850k just recently and have been caught out making up stories to get clickbait.
FFS when are these clowns going to made accountable for this shit.
For me Let Brooks go and have our spine of 1. Daine L 6. AD 7. Hastings 9. Api 13. Peachey and have Madden as 14. Brooks going would be great for all parties

They would not be bonkers enough to pay 1.1m but whatever they offered we should have taken it.

I've long suspected that these journos run the complete bullshit blog article sites that just completely make things up, so that the big news programs can legitimately claim "it's been reported that xyz"

The club is not going to come out and confirm or deny a players salary. No club have, or ever will do that

The 6 7 & 9 will do the job required.I also have high hopes for Madden.This kids trajectory is upwards.Conversely imo Peachey is a bum & we need a better option at fullback.DL isn’t close to meeting Kpi’s for the standard of fullback needed for us to reach the goals of playing finals footy.

If Jock can cement a spot in our nrl team I’d like to c him & AD in the halves & Hastings at 13.Alternatively if for the betterment of the team play AD at centre temporarily & jock & Hastings at 7 & 6.

With Hastings AD & Jock all performing at their best I’ve no doubt we can avoid the spoon & possibly go on a winning streak in back half of comp.

I have said before that contracts are all structured differently. There was probably a whole bunch of incentives in the contract like an extra 100K for playing Origin, extra 100K if make finals, extra 100K if win halfback of the year again, all of which probably made sense after winning the Dally M Halfback award. Add in things like the long serving player discount or other bonuses and I bet journos, if they aren't just flat out making up figures, just use the maximum figure even if it is not remotely close to what he is worth on the cap.
