Olam passed three medicals to play for WT, two of which were independent. we got clearance to medically retire him because the injury that ruined his career developed during his time at WT. the NRL wouldn’t have approved it otherwise. as for Mann, not really a surprise that he’s been...

Cody Walker has been offered to other clubs via his management (Danny Weidler). we need to be at the table.

I wouldn’t think so, but players with his level of talent can come from nowhere. I’d say he moves between Cup and Flegg next year pending how he fares in the preseason.

certainly doesn’t look good right now, but it depends what they class David as. the great NBWT reckons he’s is a fair chance of playing in the halves as he has done for the majority of his junior rep career. guess we’ll see.

Dogs landed themselves in hot water with a number of players on their roster and their agents because they promised the world and delivered an atlas after stockpiling too many juniors and killing their development. it’s a balancing act and they completely bungled it. their loss is our gain...

nah mate, didn’t have a clue. that said, delighted with this. David’s a super talent and a natural footballer regardless of whether he plays 1 or in the halves. amazing footwork, silky ballplaying skills and deceptively strong for his size. I have some queries about him defending up in the...

ah yes great critical thinking skills on display once again. thanks for your insights as always mate, duly appreciated.

many footballers have played at a high click despite being in their mid 30s, Kurt himself being one of them. but while you’re here, do you have an feasible alternative that’s currently on the market that you’d like to propose?

Kurt Mann has played State of Origin Alex Seyfarth has not Kurt Mann has played semi final football Alex Seyfarth has not Kurt Mann has been in multiple systems with differing levels of success Alex Seyfarth has been in one system with no success to call upon Kurt Mann has played fullback...

lightning quick play the ball. I hope we look into it.

no we don't. Herbert's basically spot 30 on the roster. in years' past that spot has been reserved for players like Will Craig. currently for depth in the outside backs we have Herbert, Saukuru and Makasini in the 30 with Tavana and Attard on development contracts. one more is absolutely...

players with his level of talent learn very quickly. you only have to look at Casey McLean at Penrith and his turnaround there. labelled a defensive liability, too young and far too green up until about 12 months ago when he magically turned a corner. don’t be surprised if Heamasi does...

part of the Mosesification era that Seibold oversaw. anyone associated with that time period is public enemy #1 at Manly. that said, I don’t want Gentle near us. hasn’t exactly covered himself in glory post WT. I’m hopeful we look abroad for coaching talent. Brian McDermott, Frederic...

Latu all over again. I think he’s a stud on his day but availability is your best ability. if Isaah Yeo and/or Liam Martin end up going to free agency we need to offer them the house. doesn’t matter what it takes. others I’d be looking at come November 1: Tallis Duncan Luron Patea Xavier...

so who would you target that’s currently available on the open market that would provide leadership, depth and experience?
