100% Footy - Luke Brooks

[Glenn L]

Going by Gould's reaction when Luke Brooks was discussed, I'd say his Bulldogs deal has been signed, sealed and delivered?

 

[maltalian_dog]

Yeah that was my read on it as well. Quite disturbing

 

[LordSidious66]

Wait for an announcement before we start panicking.

 

[ChesoBulldog]

Seems like it, but it could also be taking attention off Hunt.

 

[Joelmcevoy2]

No where getting hunt

 

[Glenn L]

What was more disturbing was Gould saying our young players are at least 3 years away from success at the top level and that he's not going to go to market for a "quick fix". I'd say that 10 year plan in looking pretty realistic. So glad I lived through the 80's TBA.

With all the absolute crud we've been linked with surely this has to be a pisstake

Was quite sickening. Gould looked like the cat that stole the cream...

 

[Nate DAWG]

I missed it. What did he say?

I was lucky to see our great team in the 80's also, thank god!!

When Moses left tigers he went to another level.. maybe the same happens with brooks?

No where getting hunt

no hunt is going to titans and we're getting luke brooks

Isn’t Brooks a left sided, left foot kicker? Isn’t his game that of a running 6 rather than an organising 7?

Makes no sense to sign Brooks so it’s probably true!

 

[bcmf]

Listen, brooks is more of an organising 7 than anyone in our current stock. I for one wouldn’t mind him provided he comes at a decent price.

 

[shannon2009]

It’s price dependent for me. Do I think brooks needs a change of scenery? Yes. Do I think the dogs are the right fit right now ? Maybe. Who knows? If he signs with us and we start competing regularly with teams above us rather than get pumped great. If he comes and we still suck well then he’s probably only taking flanagans money anyway (650k)

 

[diddly]

Not a popular opinion but i think Brooks would be a good option for the dogs. Burton and Brooks kicking games would hopefully make things a bit better. Regardless of who plays half unless the forwards can at least be competitive with n without the ball nothing much will change.

 

[Eesma]

For the right price, I would cautiously support a Brooks signing. I think he has more to him than he's showed at the Tigers, the last few years. He's been stuck in a club that have been horrendously mismanaged, with poor recruitment and terrible coaches. Since Benji has started calling more of the shots and they've improved their forward pack, Brooks has been looking better. He's an experienced half, which is what we need and there are very few on the market. I would still prefer Hunt for a couple of years but it sounds like he's heading home to QLD. That said, if we can't fix our pack, Brooks is just as likely to languish with us as he was with a poor Tigers side.

He knocked back $550k at the Tigers. Whatever he has been offered elsewhere is going to be more than that. Which is tooooo much!

Someone like Trindall would be cheaper and a game style to suit what we need.

Either way we need to invest heavily in our forwards

 

[Dogiezz]

If Brooks wants to play finals, why the fuck would he come to the dogs? Same goes for Hunt.

where can the 100% footy be watched?
