Early days, but Brooks will have a strong season at Manly and no one should be surprised. He is a very good NRL player who, like most other very good first graders, benefits from having strong players around him. It allows him to focus on his own game and the stuff he is good at, namely, running the ball, show and go, short side play, etc. He is quick, he is a solid defender, he backs up, and he has good instincts for his own game, just not necessarily overall game management. He doesn't have to at Manly. DCE, Turbo and Croker take care of that. The other guy who made a big difference was Nathan Brown. He did the tough carries, his ball playing as a lock was really impressive and he picked out JWH for special treatment every time JWH took the ball up. The Tiges could certainly use some of that. I wouldn't have signed him either, so no Monday morning quarterback from me, but he was good on SundayCan you be sure about that? Is it possible that they are winning because they look good?
