Your Say
03/04/2015
Hard working grafter often overshadowed by Steve roach, Paul sironen, pierce and Mcguire. Honest player who would give u 100% all of the time. Many of games at leichardt watching brooksy as a kid.

Mel hit harder than any other forward in a star-studded Tigers pack. Gave his all and it was a pleasure to be a Balmain supporter when you saw him play. Cheers Brooksy

Played against Brooksy in high school football.in Tamworth from 1975-78. One of the most complete backrowers you would ever see. Not surprised to see him play NRL. High work ethic and a devastating ball runner back then.
