Brooks has openly said that he doesn't want to be coached by Madge again ..hence why i believe he'll be playing for Newie this season .. for those who say he's still contracted to us for 1 or 2 more years .. so was Moses and Matheson but they left .. all you have to do is use the mental health card and your out.
The question is what do we get out of this possible transfer of Brooks to Newie ..?? I really hope to see Brooks stay as i'd like to see how the Hasting / Brooks combination goes
When did brooks openly say he doesn't want to be coached by madge?
reported by Buzz and Crawley I'm sure
Shouldnt be too hard to find a link or quote then?
Here's an excerpt of the article where it was mentioned.

A divorce could help both Brooks and the Tigers. But cutting ties will be anything but clean
The No. 7 reportedly **wants to play under a different coach to Michael Maguire** and premiership winner Michael Ennis has called for him to make a fresh start at new club.
No worries. Do you have a link to an article where ***Luke Brooks** "openly says"* that he doesnt want to play under Madge?
No mate, i haven't found that one yet.
You won’t because he hasn’t said it publicly.
Do you honestly think Brooks has had a convo with Ennis, Crawley or Buzz and just decided to say - hey I want to be coached by anyone but Madge let alone even actually have a convo with any of them in the 1st place. They will all say a source has said it which translates to Chinese whispers and 90% of the time they say crap like that its wrong.
Finest just said the same thing
This could be more than Chinese whispers, seems like the media are hearing something that they know is coming from a reputable source and they are using that source as their assurance, and the source must have a legal agreement with the reporter that they remain anonymous unless legal action is taken about the story which usually doesn't happen or unless the story involves defamation or something else serious.
I suspect that the main culprits here are the player managers.
