Sad thing for Brooksy was that there was a 900k deal there from the Knights. Can’t see him getting near that now
Sheens did the dirty on him.
salary cap management is what it is all about hence why a reduced deal Brooks will still be here 2024
my mate that knows Scott Fulton chuckled when I said Scott Fulton not keen on Brooks, he didn't think that was the case just Scott looking at cap
we will see though
FWIW I think the young player we’re after is Sam Walker, to partner Schuster in the halves.
I admire your conviction but I think deep down you know it’s all over red rover.salary cap management is what it is all about hence why a reduced deal Brooks will still be here 2024

@jedi-tiger why not just sign him now on a reduced deal if that’s what they are doing?
@avocadoontoast thats the reporters view. Fulton actually said -
“Yes, we need to look at the halves – you don’t need to be Albert Einstein to establish that,” he said. “Luke Brooks is a good player and he has copped so much, too much crap over the years.
The million dollar question is who gets final say?

it’s an interesting idea. Api controls all yardage anyway so he runs the back 80m and walker/schuster the red zone. Would make for fun viewing
Those 2 would be great in our attacking red zone, but they also need to be solid enough defenders when opponents are attacking in our red zone.
Laurie has got something. He could transition to halves

My god....go back and watch that video again and look for Lauries positioning and effort in defence. That is disgraceful. You have to be able to play on both sides of the ball.
I highly highly doubt it is Sam Walker. People don't walk away from the Roosters to join the wooden spooners. Jeez I would love it but. I reckon he would suit us so we'll and would be such a shot in the arm.

I saw the defence (or lack thereof) as well. Looks like he can ball play and throw a good pass for assists in the red zone, but he needs to bring a lot more attitude and urgency in defence. Something to work with though. Would persist with him at 6 in KOE for another 6 weeks to see how he can develop.
@the-last-ronin more they wait the more desperate Brooks will get, probably no rush from the club if no offers are coming you sign Brooks at the end on the best contract the club can get. He knows the club he likes the club, think something will be worked out
@helmesy Fulton is all about the dollars, if they can get Brooks for 400k or 450k it is a steal I'd say that will be what they are waiting for, if he gets no offers he will take what the Tigers offer
