Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He’s a knob, but he gives his all in games. I’d make an offer.

How many games did he miss in 2024 , some say his knees are shot , but he always seems to play well ,
2 years x 550 k
position = Centre
backup fullback

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

How many games did he play busted and still trumped?

 

[weststigerman]

Our top 30 is stacked for wingers. Not sure why we were ever chasing Montoya.

I still think right centre is our biggest hole as it stands. I think Turuva should be left wing and Skelton right wing. I suppose this means Olam left and Bird on the right.

Late in the season we were trying to play Staines at right centre which was a disaster.

 

[happy_tiger]

We crack the top 8 next year I'm happy 2 wager

With our current roster I'd take that bet

Benji deserves the coach of the year award if he gets us to even the Top 10

How do the people that said it was ridiculous for manly to tell Large he’d play first grade next year feel about Makasini’s manager confirming he was promised the same thing? I personally don’t have problems with teams doing it but a lot of people on here had different opinions

I suppose the difference is Large expects to play in the halves and with DCE and Brooks there the only way he gets a chance is if either are injured or at SOO time. Makasini on the other hand wants to play in the centres - a position we are very light on.

Mate, I understand you guys are cynical & bitter and
you're an OG veteran on here, but I represent the
optimism & the next gen, sooner rather than later
I hope. We'll sort the forwards out over the summer!

If you have Skelton & Montoya starting your sets you’re off to a really good start

 

[batboy]

Montoya didn't slip, we didn't really want him.

Yeah..... He's way too tall.

Sunia & Skelly, we're fine...

I'm beyond bitter ....as most should be by now

 

[Kaito]

You raved on about how he bumped Staines in a trial
game. Can't celebrate us moving forward. A little sad.

Well apparently Turuva is coming to play centre which personally i’m not a fan of

Neither, the left edge should be big mak & sunia outside

 

[Kaito]

I think people on here made up Sunia 2 centre anyway.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

If he plays well he will get a debut late in the season. My point was if telling a young player they are a chance at making a debut convinces them to stay I don’t see any problems with it if they are good enough

He would be smart enough to work it out that we are struggling for centres and see the opportunity. And he prefers left centre as well.
Not Einstein stuff!
O. Large could see his chances too, so left.

Turuva literally said in a podcast that Richardson and Marshall told him he’d have first crack at centre.

I dunno how many times we’ve been over this.

Theres nothing wrong with optimism, when its supported by reason. The facts are our forwards have sucked for the past 3 years and have gotten weaker. The lump of monkey turd we bought from Cronulla wont make a dent.
Should we sign a couple of real mongrel workhorses with rep potential skill, my optimism will rise. It wont rise just because I want it to though....

 

[Tiger Stripes]

So Manly could have the onion and the BBQ in the halves when DCE retires?

The BBQ @ 1/2. And an unproven 5/8, love it!

We'll see Junes. '24 Season isn't even over with yet
