American Actor, Luke Alexander Brooks, calls to action for Palestine after a personal experience with his child’s illness. Brooks made a video on Tiktok talking about his son’s illness and the critical position he found himself in, further elaborating that he didn’t need to worry about the hospital being bombed or the availability of decent food and clean water. He asked parents around the world to put themselves in the Palestinian people’s shoes and take action on their behalf to save the children

Luke Brooks’ decision to leave the Wests Tigers after more than a decade at the club was “tough” but the star playmaker has conceded it was a call he “had to make.”

In one of his first one-on-one interviews since becoming a Sea Eagle, Brooks told foxsports.com.au that cutting ties with his former club “felt like a weight off my shoulders.”

Brooks was a local Tigers junior and became an overnight sensation after a dazzling debut as a fresh-faced 18-year-old in 2013.The following season he was named Dally M Rookie of the Year and in 2018 Brooks not only won Halfback of the Year but he also finished third in the overall Dally M count.

But from a team perspective, the 29-year-old experienced minimal success at the Tigers — in fact he has the unwanted record of most games without a finals appearance.It still wasn’t easy for Brooks to walk away from the Tigers though.But he can now safely say it was the right move

“It was a hard decision that I had to make but in the end I think once it all settled down, coming here, it made me think it was the right decision,” Brooks told foxsports.com.au.“At the end of the day you’ve got to do what’s best for you.“Once I did make the decision it sort of felt like a weight off my shoulders and I was happy with my decision.”Brooks has had opportunities to leave the Tigers in the past — he came close to joining the Knights ahead of the 2023 season — but has always ended up reaffirming his commitment to the Tigers.Why now? What convinced him to make the jump?
