Leeds Rhinos have been linked with a surprise move for Wests Tigers halfback Luke Brooks. The halfback, who is off-contract at the end of the season, is currently one of the highest-paid players in the NRL but is now allegedly being considered for a Super League move.
Brooks, 28, has made almost 200 NRL appearances and has spent his entire career at Wests Tigers. But according to The Mole, Leeds are plotting a move for the playmaker after coming under first during the opening rounds of the Tigers' winless campaign.
Both of Leeds' current halfbacks, Blake Austin and Aidan Sezer, are off-contract at the end of the year. Further to that, the Rhinos are set to open up substantial salary cap space ahead of 2024, with the majority of their top earners off-contract. Kruise Leeming is set to depart for Gold Coast Titans while the likes of Zane Tetevano, James Bentley and David Fusitu'a are also in the final year of their deals.
