Sometimes you need to give back to the club that gave you your first opportunity. Brooks left for more money the first opportunity he got.

Might have been that we didn't make him an offer until late, A Lowball offer at that.....
After throwing 1.4m to his best mate.

Can't blame a bloke for not waiting around to get Mitchell Pearced.

The words of a desperate man. Where did I do that exactly?

For starters i'm not desperate... especially for attention.
Secondly you should re-read your fawning posts standing up for him.
All i was purporting to was the amount of people still giving a tinkers cuss about an overpaid bloke who was the constant in 10 years of misery.
And, before you head down that path , yes I know we didn't do well this year.
You seriously think we would have done any better with him still at halfback?
Let him go and the Manly fans have him.

Why are you only saying this to those who aren’t on the hate train. Where are you on record as quoting mister “milk toast” Winnie when he spews vitriol? Nowhere. But if someone comes in and gives a simple congratulations for finally tasting some success it’s “You’re kissing his clacker, you’re defending him, he’s gone, stop talking about him” blah blah blah

Well it’s good to know you aren’t delusional

I have no idea. Doesn’t really matter does it. For all of you telling me I’m kissing his arse and fawning all over him, I could say the exact same thing about you doing cartwheels over us still coming last

I have. I’m not sure what I have said, besides acknowledging his success that gives you any idea that I have not done said thing.

"Let him go and the Manly fans have him."

Some irony here

Not in the least.
I’m happy he’s gone.
Was never a fan unlike some who obviously still have posters of him above their beds.
My posts in here have been about the never ending love for him displayed on here… which I can’t miss.
Glad Manly fans have him, just wish I wasn’t always bombarded with love for him from our fans.

You're still talking about him though...
Is your advice ie 'let him go'.. just for others?
You can always not click on the thread also to avoid bombardment

Like looking at a car accident, Ink.
When I say let him go I’m talking about the fawning of those with misguided loyalties still directed his way.
He no longer has an allegiance with this club through his own choice and is far from being a ‘legend’.
Makes me laugh.
Good luck to him but also good riddance.

I don’t think the statement is bizarre at all. The club are heading in the right direction, attempting to rebrand the club by attaching a high level of respect and importance to loyalty.
Congratulations and well done to Richo for acknowledging the need for unity of players past and present.

Likewise.... I'm neither here nor there about him but what makes me laugh is those with the hatred towards him still laying the boot in a season after he left... The Butthurt is still strong with some

13 years since making the finals with the peanut at the steering wheel for the majority of that, some call it butthurt, meh I guess some fans are just more passionate and care about the club winning than others. Fair weathered as they are. Go Manly.
 
I’m usually fairly level headed, but I’m rather irate.
The WT website congratulating a rival player on making second round of finals? While we came last for third straight year… is this for real?

Sure, I’m not a Brooks fan anyway, but even if it were for players who I am a fan of who left, I would still not want this brandished on our website.

What a diabolical marketing call.

Hey management, have you no self worth or at the very least, respect for your stakeholders? You should not need a lesson in context to appreciate just how out of touch and pathetic this is.
Go and be a laughing stock in your own time, but you have no right to represent WT fans and players in this way, by making them feel even more humiliated and inferior than you have already made them.

Our own admin!
Seriously!
 
Jesus. It’s only been one season and already people are forgetting the absolute rubbish brooks served up for a decade.

A DECADE!!!

Plus he nearly killed manly off in that last final.
