Wests Tigers veteran David Nofoaluma has endorsed Luke Brooks to remain the Tigers' five-eighth and supported the club's investigation into a leak that prompted reports he would be dropped for their next game. The Tigers' poor on-field performances led to the sacking of coach Michael Maguire this month as well as to criticism of Brooks' performance in the halves. "From my knowledge and speaking for the players, we've heard nothing about it," he told. "We don't know where (the leak) has come from. From my knowledge, Luke is playing in the next game. "It's very difficult because you can't really point fingers but I've seen that the club is doing an internal investigation which is good. "You can't have this type of stuff coming out in the media ... It's pretty disappointing." "Me and Luke, we started our NRL careers in the same year, together," he said. "He's been a long-term teammate. Of course I'd like him to be in the team." "It's an area that I grew up in," he said. "I played all my junior grand finals at club footy level at that ground so it makes it extra special for myself and everyone in the community. "As an Australian-born Samoan, it's always special to come into camp and get the experience and see a little bit of what my heritage and culture are about."
