Brooks' move to Manly has been a long time coming, with the halfback feeling the weight of scrutiny during his time at the Tigers.
Now, he's looking forward to a fresh start and less pressure playing alongside Cherry-Evans.
The 28-year-old is excited to begin this new chapter in his NRL career, acknowledging that the change will push him out of his comfort zone.
Coach Seibold has made it clear that Brooks should take a back seat to Cherry-Evans and focus on his running game, something that Brooks believes will bring out his best.
The opportunity to play alongside Cherry-Evans was a major factor in Brooks' decision to sign with Manly, as he sees the veteran player as a quality asset who continues to improve with age.
Overall, Brooks is eager to embrace this new opportunity and make the most of his time at Manly.
