Wests Tigers halfback Luke Brooks – one of the NRL club’s four key off contract players – has reportedly agreed to a two-year contract extension.
Brooks, 22, has been offered close to $550,000 a year, according to Fairfax Media – some $50,000 less than he was believed to be asking.
It comes as Sydney clubs prepare to suit star Melbourne playmaker Cooper Cronk, who announced his departure at season’s end on Tuesday, and Ivan Cleary’s appointment as Tigers coach a day earlier.
