I always forget to include a laughing face when I try to make a joke. ☹️
Brooks is with Tigers= no instant success.
Brooks goes to Manly because they want instant success.
We hand over Brooks therefore we miss out on instant success.
What else does Carryannis know? 🤣
Manly have a very different team to us. They have an elite half in DCE, they have a forward pack which can do the job and they have some elite backline talent including Tom who if he is on is close to the best player in the game.
I can see them doing really well over the next couple of seasons if they get lucky with injury especially to Tom.
We also wanted Brooks but wanted him to stay on under market value. This would enable us go get some other players and fill out the squad.
We weren't going to get instant success with Brooks but he could be really good for Manly.
