I don’t doubt Brooks is a good bloke off the field. I’ve met people who know him personally and no one has a bad word to say about him. This is just cringe by the club though.
As a player, he was heavily overpaid and was one of many key factors in driving us into the shit heap we find ourselves in now (obviously not all of it is his fault).
His long and short kicking game were piss poor, would repeatedly blow overlaps (no game awareness), bullet passes to players right next to him etc I could go but it’s nothing that any person with a working pair of eyes has seen or read before.
You watch him play at Manly and he does the exact same shit except he has one of the greatest 1/2 and fullbacks of all to clean up his garbage. And when he was without even just one of them, the team crumbles with his decision making.
I think what really pissed off the people here were the lies, excuses and exaggerations his little fan club would use. Coaches fault x4, Benji, Farah, forwards, backs, height of the wingers, football anxiety have all been spewed on here as reasons why he struggled here. Then they would dismiss any players brought up who could replace Brooks and proceed to heap on anyone who disagreed with them under the previous team of mods.
