the dogs are stacked with halves
mitchell woods is better than galvin imo way more upside

Putting the spotlight on Galvin to take the focus off his own up and coming half… sounds like a Gus move to me, imagine the uproar if Richo started talking up Woods the same way Gus talks up Galvin.

From what I’ve seen Wood’s might be more an individual game breaker than Galvin but they both have a long way to go and Galvin’s got the jump on him for now.
 
Really hoping we can sign one or two NRL quality forwards very soon. Would be a real shame if we get hit by a few injuries and lose momentum this season. Appreciate the need for the club to be disciplined in the player market for long term success but feel this year is super important to move up the ladder. Can’t see that happening without an extra middle and extra second rower unfortunately. Depth is just non existent and injuries will inevitably strike. Backs and spine at least we have some players to come in (though backs quality isn’t quite where we need it to be).
 
SMH article saying DCE will not be playing in Manly colours past this season, however, hasn’t definitively stated whether he’s playing for a new club or retiring, just waiting until later in the season to make a decision.

It also says Manly made a contingency plan if DCE moves on involving moving Tommy Turbo to 5/8 so Lehi Hopoate can play fullback. Soooooo, I guess that leaves Luke Brooks to play halfback……

Who is out there? Really need a back rower for Seyfarths space and potentially a lock? Could see Sione play that role. Makasini is obviously a gun but could take a while so would like a centre as well

Do you have a clue?

Small motor... ??

But somehow enough heart & pride to cover and outpace the NSW Origin winger Lomax to disrupt the passing lane and at least delay a certain Parra try with 80 seconds of the game remaining & the team up by 32 points!

Stefano cost far more for much less!!

Give yourself an uppercut and buy Manly membership FFS!

Royce Hunt? Small moter? Come on. He plays 30 mins a game and has done for most of his career. Ya nuts?

My point is Id like to see his impact from the very start and to play out 50 or 60 mins like most middles do...Haas has no problems ...
.it wld work better for everybody

Nearly fell off my chair when i read Buzz's highlight this morning

HIGHLIGHT​

The Wests Tigers are not just an attractive footy side to watch. They also have plenty of heart. To come back from trailing 18-6 after 30 minutes in an away game shows Benji’s boys are up for the fight and a team that will win plenty more games this season.

Sure he wasn't on the turps when he wrote this, I mean I think it's true but he normally would find anything to stick the boot in.

To be fair Lomax was exceptional for eels against the dogs.

Was he REALLY??

He shat the bed on his first conversion attempt...

And despite being named at centre - Ryles had him defending outside Samrani because he was so bad in his preferred position...

And his retreating defence with a rookie centre inside him - for the Xerri try was totally inexcusable for an Origin/Test rep!!

He has always done fancy stuff - but routinely gets the basics wrong and is more often on the losing side as a result!

If he plays more minutes his impact becomes disproportionally less and less every 5 extra minutes he plays above what he's used to. He's an animal who comes on for 30 - 35 min stint and runs riot. Flat out no self preservation.

I was also impressed before the game on the weekend he was doing the rounds giving out last drinks to the starters. A one percenter.
