We all see what we want to see Efftherest. We all jump on the bandwagon to knock someone, its easy that way, but acknowledibg someone is so much difficult. I guess - thats human nature.

It would be the final nail in the coffin of what some of us have been saying for years. It’s the club, not the players.I can see the headlines should Manly, Parra and the Roosters all make the finals
One game in. Such an optimistI note the folk spruiking the Sullivan and Sezer signings here way back when - controlling half, attacking brilliance and everything else they tried to flog us are as quiet as a lamp post…
Shocking that our best shot this year will probably end up being with Fainu and Galvin… 2 kids with 1 game between them…

You would think that…One game in. Such an optimist
To be honest I think Galvin showed more talent, especially creatively, in his first game (in a losing team) than Brooks has at Manly…. and has more of an upside to boot.
I see. So we’re getting rid of players who don’t think? That’s the secret behind our success? Manly otoh are heading for the finals on the back of recruiting a 200 game half who doesn’t think and therefore playing the best footy of his career?The guy is not a star. He's not a leader. He's quite shy and rather in-articulate. He's so basic his favourite thing to do is to grill meat. He always lacked the personality and imagination to be the kind of player that everyone hyped him up to be. He shouldn't be the centrepiece of any team.
He's a fairly decent footy player. His style of play is highly individualistic. He has a tunnel vision way of playing in the sense that he is always 100% concentrating on what what he needs to do rather than bringing other players into the the game or looking to develop killer combinations with team mates. He is always reading what he is doing rather than what is happening in a game.
So he's perfect in that system in manly where he's basically being told not to think and to just get the ball and play a bit of footy. There is already someone thinking for him at 7 and at Fullback. He'll do OK, but he's always had that infuriating ability to look almost like the thing he was cracked up to be from time to time. He's got a great future behind him.
Because Brooks is the epitome of how we fail our players. We now have the Alumni and explayers as coaches, but this becomes a little meaningless when our longest serving player we can run out has only played 55 games.Why does everyone care so much?
Brooks played with Benji at Tigers.I don't think it's rocket science that playing next to a HOF half in DCE he's going to look much better & especially now that there's no more pressure of being the 7 for WT's. Brooks is playing like how he did here imo just with a much better team.
It’s amazing that those who often call into question his intelligence are too basic themselves to not see any fault in the club for persisting with someone so basic. And now that he’s gone, are still going to flounder as he plays in a top 8 team.The guy is not a star. He's not a leader. He's quite shy and rather in-articulate.

How many of those players you reference have been continually single handedly blamed for a clubs poor performances (That appear to be continuing now he's gone) as Brooks was here....plenty of good players leave clubs to enjoy success at others it's not unique to Brooks.
What, 1 game? You also say that like 2013 Benji was 05 Benji. He was a radically declined version of himself at that stage.Brooks played with Benji at Tigers.
I like Brooks but that's not a bad summation.The guy is not a star. He's not a leader. He's quite shy and rather in-articulate. He's so basic his favourite thing to do is to grill meat. He always lacked the personality and imagination to be the kind of player that everyone hyped him up to be. He shouldn't be the centrepiece of any team.

Would he have been around the same age as DCE?What, 1 game? You also say that like 2013 Benji was 05 Benji. He was a radically declined version of himself at that stage.
What’s your point?Would he have been around the same age as DCE?
C'mon Batboy the press have been just as critical of Brooks when it suited them and now they are riding the wave. When you are not winning games the highest paid players are always the ones that are most criticised along with the coach.How many of those players you reference have been continually single handedly blamed for a clubs poor performances (That appear to be continuing now he's gone) as Brooks was here....
I been watching the game a long time, I can't come up with anyone...
The club finally bit the bullet and removed what was our major issue and has been for many years a dysfunstional and useless board.It will take a few years to see if the problem has been adequately solved imho.It would be the final nail in the coffin of what some of us have been saying for years. It’s the club, not the players.
This is a massive misconception. When have the press ever singled him out over anyone else in at the club. No one has been more vitriolic than his own clubs supporters for 10 years.C'mon Batboy the press have been just as critical of Brooks when it suited them and now they are riding the wave.
