As Wests Tigers halfback Luke Brooks runs off-contract at the end of the season, the club has a difficult decision to make.

Zero Tackle takes a look at ten realistic options the Tigers could choose to replace the former Dally M Halfback of the Year.

All the players on the list are either off-contract at the end of 2023 or won't have an NRL club going into next season.

The options include six NRL players, three Super League players and an SG Ball halfback.

THE HEAT IS ON: Aidan Sezer

A former halfback with the Gold Coast Titans and Canberra Raiders, Aidan Sezer joined the English Super League in 2020 where he has continued to flourish.

A Man of Steel nominee, Sezer currently displays his talents for the Leeds Rhinos where he helped the club reach the Grand Final against St Helens.

A running threat with the ball, he will be a great addition to the Tigers' attacking style of play. If the Tigers are looking for an attacking playmaker who isn't scared to make mistakes then Sezer is a must-have.

Sezer has previously shown his skill in the NRL and was once a hot transfer target when he was younger. However, he has not slowed down but instead gotten better with age.

  1. That’s an imaginative list.

    I take it they are all off contract at the end of the year – I’m too lazy to check.
    Shaun Johnson is too old for a long-term replacement, and although he is having a great year this year there is no saying he will have a good year next. Ask any Cronulla supporter about his disappointing spell at the club.

    Speaking of Cronulla, Daniel Anderson could be worth a punt. He is behind Nico and Tricky Trindall in the halves pecking order, so he might jump at the chance to play first grade, albeit for a struggling club.

    The French guy from the Catalans is too big a risk: young, may struggle with the language, different country/culture, struggling team.

    Aidan Seezer knows the NRL and could be a sensible pick-up, as could be Loloheaia – or get ’em both ! If not paying a million for Luke, Wests could afford a new guy and a spare.
