Of course you would 😂😂

That’s their problem isn’t it. Besides, you don’t know much about Manly do you? As long as Turbo is fit, they’ll be fine.

Turbo is never fit hahah , he will go down again and be out for long period he is as brittle as a pretzel

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

He can now continue to lose but in different colours .. great stuff..

While we’re all making assumptions about the future 😜
Here‘s mine…as we get closer to the late February season kick off, there will be a few statements here indicating some form of sellers remorse and walking back on criticism of Brooks’ skill and playing ability. 😂

Well we’ll all be waiting expectantly to see if the problem was the club or the individual ?

The future doesn't alter the past.
He was a pile of crap for us for 10 years even if he's named the next immortal at Manly.

But it will mean something if he happens to hit the ground running after all those disappointing seasons with us.
Well at least it will to me.

Point I’m making is was he a piece of crap coz he’s totally useless, or because of the environment he was in. That to me is the interesting analysis.

I don't think he was that bad and the real issue is does he make Manly first grade halves and how he goes. If he is as bad as heaps of punters state well then he doesn't make first grade.

I reckon he'll play first grade and go okay. He'll be better at Manly than Hastings has been at Newcastle.

I don't blame the club though. It'll just show that the team as a whole was so bad.

It's going to be great watching how he goes though. We can make this forum great again.

Can someone with IT nous do a little graphic showing Brooksy’s face on the ladder up against Tigers. I suspect that will rile a few people up.

I just hope we win when we play them.

It was a toxic relationship that had to end. And a like a true toxic relationship, he’s gone and people are still running him into the ground, like they would….Well, a toxic ex.

It's going to be hard to judge as his role at Manly is going to be significantly different to what it was at the Tigers.

He will play a very simple role. Park himself on the left, let DCE run the show, kick every now and then rather than most sets, give Turbo the ball when he wants it.

He will play that role very well IMO, and its shame he didn't have that role here. A few games when Hastings was at 7, but that's too small of a sample and Hastings is no DCE.

I'm astounded some are even suggesting he isn't a lock for the halves. He is the walk up start at 6, up to him to hold onto it. I hope he goes well, but too well.

not too well as it is manly after all
tedesco thrived amongst better players
Moses thrived amongst better players
Brooks will thrive too

The only bloke who went backwards in form since leaving was Woods
Even Madge has left us and gone to kiwi coach now origin

Tedesco didn't thrive with better players IMO. He stayed the same, mayne even went backwards in ball playing at the Roosters. It's just that his team won more, so the myth grew that Tedesco became better at the Roosters. IMO he was a better player at the Tigers.
