This is a dumb comment.
Basically you are saying we have gone too far down the Brooks path to turn back now. Personally I feel no matter how much you have committed to something it is never too later to change tact.
Will Madden be better than Brooks? Who knows. But we will never know unless we try.
I do know that Brooks hasn’t demanded that he owns the Wests Tigers number 7 at any stage of his career. Good footballer yes but in our system no. He won half back of the year because he was one of the better players in an average team that over achieved.
I doubt Brooks wants to sit in reserve grade so he may want to go somewhere else. That’s up to him.
