The Luke Brooks Book Thread.

[frank stokes]

I call BS… does not make sense unless we are considering him at 9 but he is a bloody expensive “9 who is not a 9”…

Straight swap for Schu? Out of the frying pan and into the fire…

 

[bob dylan]

I think we need to go a 3 player raid like we did back in the day.

maybe Brooks, Douehi and Laurie.

Trouble is players wanted to come here in the past now we are a club to avoid.

 

[Uber Eagle 72]

Gee if this is true which I don’t believe, we have hit rock bottom coaching wise. Brooks let’s in more try’s then he creates

From Danny Weidler:

Luke who’s in mix​

The Sea Eagles have put a three-year deal in front of Josh Schuster, but they also have an interest in Luke Brooks.

Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold is said to be a fan of Brooks and there is a feeling he would work beautifully with Daly Cherry-Evans. It is unclear if Brooks is seen as a back-up plan should Schuster be lured to Brooks’ current club, Wests Tigers.
With Cherry-Evans such a dominant halfback, Brooks would be able to bounce around as a running player. The option is only in the planning phase at this point.

Doesn’t seem to be anything substantial in that story other than a journos opinion.Words like “said to be a fan” or “a feeling he would work…”

 

[Ranga]

I feel like we are being trolled by someone feeding journos these type of stories.

 

[Budgie]

I like it.

 

[Ned]

Please no

That sounds like the dribble our coach offers up at press conferences.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I like it.

He's fit and fast and can tackle...
Plus nothing wrong with Schu (and his manager) being reminded he may be our preference but he's not the only option for Manly going forward.

 

[Uber Eagle 72]

Luke brooks is traditionally a terrible defender. When we play the tigers we score a lot of try’s exploiting this weakness. I understand he has improved but he was known as the worst defender in the NRL.

Defence the focus for NRL's worst Brooks

The NRL's worst defender Wests Tigers halfback Luke Brooks is working hard to correct his defensive flaws.

Another overpriced half-hearted player in Manly colours?. Great, he’ll fit right in.

If we're getting Brooks at half the cost of Schuster, then it's Brooksy all day long.

 

[Nordburg]

Correct me if I’m wrong,but isn’t Luke Brooks in the Isaac Moses stable?Whilst it’s a concern that Moses’ clients are continually linked to Manly,through Seibold’s association,could this be a bit of a power play by Mestrov and co to shake Schuster and his manager up a bit,especially given the Latu situation and Schuster’s current form?The story has no substance or actual quotes in it,so it could be just part of the plan

 

[hozza]

Does Manly recruitment team realise there are other teams to raid? It just defies belief. If this story is of course?

100% on board perhaps replacing Schuster but there are much better options surely.

Walker and Keary from Roosters
Trindall and Connor Tracey( originally halfback, plays centre) from Sharks.
Or how about our own Juniors??

Penn Mestrov and Seibold starring in the 3 stooges.. welcome to the new manly brand ..

It’s 100 percent this. By creating interest in other players as opposed to going all out on the one and getting in a tug of war it shows the client you have other options and pits the managers against each other as opposed to manager vs club.

Keary and DCE would be awesome (if Keary could stay on the paddock)

 

[swoop]

Wtf sign a bloke who,s at the end of his career and is very average and let go young guy with heaps of potential. Put Shuster at lock or 2nd row and use him as a ball playing forward like Glen Stewart and try Artur at 5/8th

 

[Wombat64]

Why don't we just merge with the Tigers and just be done with it. Would be three basket case clubs all together. Just need the Dragons as well and no one will beat us for basket case club of the year.

Yeah it's not like Latu Fainu has any potential at all. FMD this cannot be for real.
