Luke Brooks - the plate is hot

[Brookie1973]

Seeing a bit of brooks bagging in other threads ... for mine, Brooksie is becoming one of my favourite players.

The way he has been throwing his body at runners in defence has been exceptional. Bloke is having real dig.

attacking opportunities have been scarce lately, without a lot of attacking field position and forward momentum .. all 5/8's are pretty much non events quartered in your own half.

Yep, no complaints here. Quality player we seemingly picked up at good value, given how the market is now.

Yep the guy has been as advertised - a good but not great half at a reasonable salary.

Does anyone take into account someone's salary, and performance relative to it, when they bag the sh&t out of them?

If Brooks was on a million I would say he has been disappointing, but at 600k he has delivered on that salary slot.

Laua for the Tigers comes to mind ... been largely ineffective ...

 

[jbb/james]

From memory his stats were pretty similar to chez last season and chez almost took out the daly m

 

[Seagles68]

Yeah, I think he's been pretty consistent but geez, I wish he would've thrown a 2 handed pass to TK on Sunday. 😱

 

[The Who]

I'd give him a 7 out of 10 for his performance since joining. His defence is stronger than I realised but he certainly hasn't set the attack alight.

Brookes...should have taken the team by the neck and lead since hearing the D$E betrayal. it shows he has no game managment atributes

I think the only game he played 7/10 was over in Vegas. Since then his standards have been declining imo. In saying that it’s not like we didn’t know who we were buying and I’ll continue to believe that a 250 gamer for $500k is good value. If Walsh steps up I’d personally move him on and invest the cash into our development. I know Siebold keeps calling us a top 4 team but in reality we haven’t finished 4th since Tom had a reliable hamstring. I’d like to see us cultivate and develop our youth who bleed maroon and white and focus on creating the real “many way”.

A decade of failure as a game manager at the Tigers didn't already give you that tip.?

We didn't sign him to be a game manager.....because he fkn isn't one.

And he has been more than adequate for the role we did sign him for.

 

[DanielTurbo888]

He's a dud sorry

 

[Kalvin]

Seems to be an improvement on Schuster in the fact he's getting on the field at least!

 

[madmax]

He's a dud sorry

And DCE isn’t? Brooks is playing a hell of a lot better than the new Rooster. Maybe you haven’t heard the latest about how quite a few of our team are over DCE & want him gone by June 30!!!

 

[eaglebuzz]

I wouldn't say he's a dud but he hasn't set the world on fire.

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Question is, did he have those good games when Turbo was playing? Take Turbo out and has he had many good games?

Does anyone in our team have a good game if turbo is out? 😅

Lehi lol

How many good games has Trbo had this year? Since his return he’s been useless! Watch him go for the Blues!

 

[Darknstormy]

Inconsistent player like the rest of the squad

 

[JakeyB789]

Too much to expect for this bloke to step up with our main half out? I guess the excuse will be that he’s only on 700k so we’re getting good value for what we’re paying. Well in a hotly contested pool of **** players he might have been the worst tonight. At least he gave us some semi decent performances on our way to a 2nd round exit last year

The commentators said he hasn’t had a try assist since round 5.
