The Luke Brooks Book Thread.

[Ranga]

He was quiet today. I’d forgive him for preserving himself next week, given how much scrutiny he has received with his record streak of most games without playing in a final. Could you imagine the ridicule he would have got if he injured himself this week and missed the finals?!

No excuses next week.

 

[joeboy]

he mailed it in today. Much like his halves partner

 

[Rackets]

Brooks may have been preserving himself for next week, but I've said all year his best games have only been when Turbo's been on the field.
Agree with you Ranga, no excuses next week.

Dylan Brown is so ridiculously overpaid... We're paying 250k less for a better and more complete player. That's before even factoring in that stupid 1.2 mil he's asking for.

Thought Brooks was quiet for the first half of last year, and only really got into his groove, same with Turbo, in that Knights game. I think he's in for a better second season here for sure.

Brooks looks pretty good in those stats overall .Also Dylan Brown is on much more than 850k so Brooks is great value
We just a need a front rower if substance
Go Manly

With all those great Stats one would think that Brooks would have been a State of Origin Candidate last season ?
He was not .
Maybe its because Stats dont tell the whole Story ?

 

[Rafferty]

Can’t be unhappy with his first season with us, no reason why things won’t improve this season, played every game last year, if our FB can do that and their combination continues we could be very happy with our season goes. Here’s hoping our big men get serious.

Things have to improve
We need to improve if we are going to move forward from last season and move up to the top four
We also have a favorable draw which would greatly assist our goal

 

[Coops manly]

Those stats are quite impressive thanks for the info. Hopefully he comes into his own this year

 

[Woodsie]

He's gone from a team where he was expected to be the "wunderkinder" ... with 12 blokes standing around waiting for him to create something .... to a team where he is simply expected to be a very good part of a very good backline.

He is adjusting to his new role well ... it is a whole different mindset and mission statement ... and not one that happens overnight ... but as his confidence, and his confidence in his team mates grows ... his natural flare will come back in spades ...

I think his best is yet to come ..

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

I thought he was great for us in his first year, and I was a sceptic to begin with. (Thought his defence was suspect and that he wasn't durable. So naturally his defence was great and he played every game.) Seems like a nice little dude, too, which makes it very easy to cheer for him in a Manly jersey.
