DCE claims that Manly can finally bring out the best in the much-maligned Brooks.

Luke Brooks, who has been heavily criticised, is expected to thrive in Manly’s expansive football style and form a deadly left-edge combination with the mysterious $800,000 Josh Schuster, according to Daly Cherry-Evans.

After failing to play in the finals for the Wests Tigers for 11 arduous years, Brooks will be heading to the Northern Beaches for the upcoming season. Playing with 16 different halves partners during his turbulent time at Leichhardt did little to ease the rift between him and the fans.

Cherry-Evans is eager for some stability of his own. This season, he played with five-eighths Schuster, Cooper Johns, Kaeo Weekes, and Jake Arthur.

Cherry-Evans stated, “Brooksy has always been a cool player to watch, and his best footy is exciting footy.” “He’s a courageous defender who loves running the ball, is a left-footed kicker, and doesn’t get enough credit for his toughness on defense. Although making all of your tackles doesn’t equate to toughness in defense, it does mean that your teammates respect you.
