It's bloody fantastic when he he runs first and offloads second which he is doing most the time. There has been a few times where he is obviously thinking offload before contact. May does this a lot as well. I absolutely hate this thinking as it typically leads to a useless offload as you...

The club did absolutely nothing wrong by him. In fact they very much did right by him in offering good contracts. Doesn't mean it wasn't a shit show the entire time he was here. Some like to blame him for that, others (myself included) do not.

Problem is when your best middle is an old Taukiaho then there is no retreating defence to give Koula the ball.

Okay, but what about the previous 3?

The opposing argument is he is always criticised for being grossly overpaid (how much we don't know and we of course all value him differently as well). As such he has always had good contracts and one would logically assume he has always had other offers to drive that price up. By the time he...

Depends what you consider opportunity. Over 250 games to show what you got is significantly more opportunity than most. But looking at the roster year on year, what year do you think he was behind a top 8 pack?

Agreed. From a results perspective I think Manly was a very poor choice. From length and value of contract I believe it was the obvious choice. Tigers claimed we wanted him but offered him massive unders. Rumoured to be offered a short term contract at Roosters on unders and similar money to...

I also question how insanely big the contract was. Rumours it was very heavily back ended and his contract was around 7-800K a season. Which in my opinion was about, or only slight overs for, his value at the time.

Feel for the bloke. Essentially has played his whole career behind the worst packs in the comp each year. He's never had a chance to truly prove whatever ability he may have with any consistency.

It changed a few years back to the current system because people were upset about seeing players miss games due to relatively minor (grade 1) infringements. It's one of those topics where the NRL can't win due to the varied opinions of the fans. I do think to some extent Galvin does have some...

Prior charges only last 12 months so 2 years ago does not matter. I assume he got the loading from last week but grade 1 the loading is merely a bigger fine rather than a suspension until there is multiple offences of the same nature with a 12 month period. Whilst it was a hip drop not sure what...

Jake hasn't been a viable 13 since 2020. I think he still walks into this Manly side given their lack of forwards but he should be a 30 minute front rower off the bench, not a big minute lock.

Won't help them with no forwards

3 KPP 2 Twal 1 Doueihi Though from my supercoach team perspective 3 for both Doueihi and Twal and disappointing result from Makasini.

Yet to watch the game but reading some of the comments am excited to watch the replay.

Same woeful forward pack.

Hey mate, watched the rest of the video. Also mods if you want to delete this go for it. I just wanted to respond to Odessa asking me to give the video a watch. I don't want to turn this into a lengthy discussion that gets a thread closed but, will acknowledge he did touch on the fall of the...

That's an entire smoko, will watch it later for ya

Watched about 5 minutes before losing interest. Whilst it is 'right wing drivel' there are some half truths there. He is pointing at the rise of one nation as proof of a public shift away from the left and making the usual anti-left false claims to justify this. He has failed to address the...
