Wasn't he putting shit on us in the press not so long ago? Guy believes his own hype. Very talented at his best but also a serial under performer. It'd want to be a great deal in our favour to convince me he's a good signing.

respect your banter k7 .For a busted ,just about an over priced wanna be ,hope he lands at parra
Cat believe Garricks name came up. Very ordinary at centre. Defensively rushes in or stays back. His goal kicking is in the bottom 3 of the NRL.
He played better on the wing but it's a definite no.

Plenty of Manly fans agree with this assessment

If we are interested, I can't see us spending big $$$ and that probably wouldn't get the deal across the line. I think our priorities should be a 2nd rower and an outside back.
Maybe we have another iron in the fire. Might be that being Jan people at the club are still on holidays and they got Siones training deal sorted so he's getting paid and can attend pre season so it's not as pressing
He'd be an ideal Lock

Plenty of people on here saying Benji is a rubbish coach and should be sacked are the same people who predicted us to win the spoon again. They said we had the weakest, youngest and the worst depth squad in the nrl. Anyone who complains about Benji not dropping blokes have zero clue on the fact our Cup side looked worse than the Nrl side and not many players put their hands up to be picked. For multiple weeks the Cup side had to use up to 8 Massey Cup standard players. I just can’t see how anyone can judge Benji on last year. This year is a different story though. From the training sessions I watched last year to the 2 I have seen this year its like a completely different coach, seems more intense when delivering his message. We can all agree the squad this year is far better than last year so lets see what he can do. Before I get howled down I am not saying he shouldn’t be held accountable if results don’t improve of course he should be but I am also not sacking him going off last year. I think Benji learnt plenty from last year. I just want to add that people have the perception that Benji is all about flare and attack but I have heard a few players mention how structured he wants the team to play to allow them to play with flare. Really looking forward to see how this season unfolds.
, some of you buggers are so farkin negative! Have a lot of you actually played the game ? Whose on here been coached by benji or at the highest level ? Crickets .
We have a better roster, $$$ sponsorship , New Jerseys … seems we are on the way up off the field …
challenge all you goons on here to be positive for one week … not Tony Robbin’s positive … but cmon, get excited somewhat . Yeah 3 spoons I get it … get behind the club peeps ! Uppa tigers

Sorry bloody photo put me out , was saying the drag queens have signed lodge on a train and play , I know many on here hate the bloke but he would have filled our lock problem , big body, runs hard , has good defence and plays big minutes, with a good offload . Would not have been expensive, sometimes u just got to try , would have been better than some of the lazy kids we have got

Five clubs, he’s already trying to get an auction going. Sounds expensive.
But imagine him playing at his best again from lock. I reckon he might pull his head in on the next contract as he has lost his standing in the game, and he likes the limelight that comes with being a top player.

Lets be realistic...
If 2025 changes, it's because of Luai. Not Galvin.
Sure the guy seems to be a good footballer. Maybe a future SOO rep.
But he isn't that fantastic I would be going too much over 1m to renew him.
Don't get me wrong, I would like to keep him. Not going to open the bank account wide to do so.
Luai + Latu at the halves actually isn't a bad pairing.

When anyone mentions Depth with us, it makes me want to puke.
Get a 100% first grade 1-13 then we can talk depth.

It’s a balance.
But talking of a NRL 1-13, only one post ago you let the best young footballer we’ve had debut since Teddy walk?
Exactly. People seem to be basing their sides on the colour of players singlets

Re Smith/Cheese..
Cmon. With Api and TDS there is no way he is coming here.
What were going to play him out of position in the second row?
IMHO look at Canberra. Their top 30 seems to be about 20 forwards and are very light on backs. Guys like Naden or Starford could be very useful there if Ricky wants to trade.

Not worth the risk to gamble on a supposedly tragic gambler.
