The Luke Brooks Book Thread.

[Gary donaldson]

Whomever is responsible for recruitment with the brooks saga needs sacking immediately.

If this is true, it will rival the signing of Craig Field as the worst signing in Manly’s history.

Lewis Brown says hi

 

[Lyons2beaver]

All this news about player transfers in the middle of a season is crazy and destabilising!

Just sayin’

I don’t think we were stable anyway
The top 8 train had already been derailed!

 

[Gary donaldson]

Surely the coach and staff should be put on notice!!!!! 3 tries down right wing last 2 weeks is inexcusable for anybody being paid $20000/match. You can't go for a Tosca every time the ball comes out to the opposition backlines left. All 6 tries could have been avoided if the winger stayed on his opposite, u/10s stuff!!!! No wonder the broncos didn't put up with it. Probably take a few years to get over brooks signing!!!

 

[KNUCKLES]

I’ll get absolutely hammered here, but I actually don’t hate it. It is a bit of a gamble, but at the right price, could be one worth taking

We aren’t getting him for 1 mil a year, that’s a poor contract, but as a running 6 at 600k or somewhere around that mark, I think he improves our side and they could make a decent pairing

The cool thing to do is hammer Luke Brooks, but he has played well when I’ve seen them play this season

I'm ok with it too. I said yesterday I would prefer Brooks over schuster

 

[DUFFMAN]

I'm ok with it.
Schuster may want to play in the halves but he isn't up to it.
I would expect Arthur or Johns to be released with one being a back up.

There is probably something going on in the background for so many future stars being told you are free to seek out other opportunities, maybe they are a cancer to the club and Tony has said I run this place not you.

I think Tony is taking control of the club and building the team towards keeping the premiership every decade intact. The last 10 years the club has been a basket case and something had to change.

There isn't many decent halves available and Brooks is defiantly in the top 50%, pairing him with DCE should give results.

[Jay Eagle]

Interesting.. Jamie Humphreys playing at hooker recently...scored 2 tries and kicked 8 from 8... maybe the club looking at him progressing as a hooker or lock

Could we see in 2024/2025
1 Turbo
6 Brooks
7 DCE
13 Schuster
9 Humphreys

Nate Myles says Hi

So true

 

[gomanly]

I'd take a busted Brooks over Schuster the myth. Makes me sick watching the half-arsed effort this bloke puts in, just a flat track bully and when the going gets tough he is nowhere to be found.

B

It wouldn’t surprise me to see our 3 million dollar players leave to go with Des. Think of what we could do with money

Buy the rest of the tigers outfit

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Our season had the structural integrity of a used Daewoo to begin with.

I once purchased a used Daewoo... You are being too kind to Daewoos!!!

Lewis Brown says hi

So does the corridor sh!tter

 

[Ben]

We are making the right moves for the better of our club long term. There is obvious underlying issues that we seem to be addressing and they might not be popular right now but they will be down the track.
Also things are happening very quickly which I really love. Nothing dragging on, just moving the chess pieces around with no fuss.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Do we know how bad his hamstring injury is? We really don't want inherit another hammy problem.

The hammy injury is just the icing on the cake. If he was healthy, we probably would have paid an extra million over three years. Genius!

 

[Wombat64]

I don't get why Brooks would even want to come here? Why jump from one dumpster fire basket case club to another dumpster fire basket case club? Clearly he doesn't want to win a premiership and likes the extended break he gets every year by not having to play semi final footy.

 

[Seagles68]

The hammy injury is just the icing on the cake. If he was healthy, we probably would have paid an extra million over three years. Genius!

I guess we just have to hope it's icing on the cake and not more icing on the leg.
