Luke Brooks to win Dally M

There’s no question Michael Maguire has taken a number of halves to the next level during his coaching career. He mentored Adam Reynolds, who went on to play for NSW, and Luke Keary who was crowned the Clive Churchill Medallist in this year’s grand final and played for the Kangaroos. In fact that was basically
Maguire’s sell to Brooks when he was trying to entice the halfback to re-sign at the Tigers — ‘I’ll make you a better player’. Now remember Brooks came third in the Dally M count this year, finishing just three votes behind Roger Tuivasa-Sheck. I expect the Tigers to sneak into the finals this year and Brooks to be the main reason why.
