Luke Brooks

[Rooster1908]

Keary's full salary for 2022 is included in the cap for 2022 -It is only future wages on a season by season basis that are exempt from the cap if Keary was medically retired and his medical retirement was approved by the NRL - i.e last two year of his contract - wages for 2023 and then 2024.

Cords rep injury cap relief of 350 k in 2021 was a result of an injury sustained in SOO the previous year (2020).

Still don't know what happened to that 350 k (if it was spent in 2021 or not) and even if Cords medical retirement was approved by the NRL - The last year of his 5 year contract extension that he signed in 2018 is next year (2023).

If we didn't use it last year do we forgo it .

We already have Lachlan Lam, why do we need Luke Brooks

[Arties Pie]

If Keary comes back he is surely one headknock away from medical retirement, So it's a question of sooner rather than later, Brooks would be a good fill-in whilst Walker gets more experience for a couple of seasons, The talk of Manu at 6 is folly as we would have two players with little (Walker) to No (Manu) experience in the halves, Experimentation in the halves works if one of them has a fair bit of experience. I fear a Manu/Walker combination would lack organization, team direction and a decent kicking game. Although no superstar Brooks has the experience to make up for Walkers inexperience in organization also has a decent kicking game...I wouldn't say no if the price was right....

Surely you jest in comparing the two.... Lam is ahhhh how do I say it soooo underwhelming, He has had a number of shots at First Grade and still doesn't cut the mustard...I fear Reserve Grade is his level or SL maybe.

[Recky62]

Nah, we don’t need him, he needs f**k off from tiger town and go play for Uncle Wayne …who will raise his confidence immeasurably

[bondi.boy]

Yes, no better than Lam.
and...too small for rugba leeg.

[zac]

No. Only $350k max if injured in a rep game as per Cordner's final concussion.

he wasn't injured in a rep game

Mate… your saying walker and Manu have no kicking game but Brooks has a “ decent “ one? That will do me.

Kicking is NOT Brook’s strong point.

[Arties Pie]

What does it say when our strongest kicking option is on the Bench as in Hutch...My comment on kicking was meant as kicking in general play.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

I'm amazed that Brooks won halfback of the year when his team finished 9th

I'd prefer to go all in for Burton

sooo...the same level as Brooks?

[Rooster89]

He doesn't offer anything Extra but he places with incusiasm. Enjoy!

I think this one is ok as it is raising or discussing the possibility of Brooks playing at The Roosters

We might all get syphilis but we don’t talk about that either.
