Successful cap management involves skill and luck. Firstly you try and assemble a quality spine. Than you get a couple of standout front rowers and at least one very good edge back rower. Than you throw some money at outstanding kids who have real potential. What cap you have left you throw at...

Give Wallace a good squad and he will do well with the head coach role. Was a smart tough footballer. Another player to slip through our fingers

I hope the Wah’s don’t chip in to get him off their books, want the Dogs or who ever to pay top dollar

I thought Gus had young Woods penciled in for the no7 when he gets out of rehab. Be great being in the Dogs system, just when you think your next cab of the rank, Gus finds someone to put in front of you. Of course the players already in the 17 must be always thinking when is Gus going to push...

I guess the clubs plan is to sign the main core of the team and fill the odd gap from pathways. It would be a surprise to me if there is much in the kitty after we hopefully sign the Fainus. Okay the cap will increase but most of your better players will have clauses that eat into any increase.

Under PVL football Manly have the speed to capitalise on lopsided possession that is result of six agains. So as we are in retreat mode they will burn us out wide. It would take one hell of a form reversal for us to get close

Forget no1 and pencil in no2. Our current spine would struggle against the Dragons

Iam not sure where I read it, but I think Rugby were keen on him. Anyway, size and speed is something we could do with

People calling for Heywood need to chill out. You introduce kids to a team that is travelling okay, with plenty of quality players to bounce off. You don’t throw them into a patched up team that has most of its quality players in rehab, that is really struggling. Heywood will get his chance, but...

You have your 1, 7, 9 plus your best edge forward and best middle out of the team and people are hammering the no6. It’s a team game where everyone is reliant on the people around them, you rip the main players out of the team and you get crap results. Next week will be no different, our only...

I said before the Sharks game we will not get close to winning till we get at least Bula and Api back, and even than it will be a struggle. Losing becomes a bad habit that is very hard to break. Manly will definitely put fifty on them

The dragons are the only team I would be confident of beating while we have basically our spine and best backrower in rehab. Getting Api and Bula back will help in a couple of weeks. There will be effort but no team in the comp can be competitive with the majority of their spine on the...

Not 100% sure but I think Cam Murray played centre at Newington, but breakaway is probably the one rugby forward position that has a skill set that is transferable to League.

Young Joey Walsh for Manly has footballer written all over him and Manly are handling his progress really well. Unlike Galvin he did not want the ball all the time and was happy to let Brooks share the responsibility. He has good awareness, good kicking game and his defensive is solid, When...

PVL only cares about the ratings and the next broadcasting rights. I doubt he hardly watches a game. The results of games now is basically controlled by the ref and bunker. They have invented a game that has no resemblance of the game played a few years ago. Okay we see some amazing attacking...

Galvin is not a 7 and probably at this stage of his career a middle of the road 6 with maybe a chance of making it as a 13. He is playing with a bog average spine, so that would not be helping. He is struggling now with the hype that his management helped create but it has to be noted he is...

Others have posted in the past that Galvin is another Hastings and it certainly starting to look like it. The guy is energetic and in the thick of the action but at the end of the day he achieves very little except sends his teammates to rehab. I wonder how long his free pass will be valid for...

You’re not going to lure a NRL standard no9 to play back up to Api. As he is going to get very limited opportunities to play in the top grade. Either Latu or Maden play the 14 role and you can’t afford another smaller player on the bench. Haywood will probably step up next year at some stage. We...

With the injury toll we have at present top eight will be tough. If you took the 1 7 9 and best backrower out of any team they would struggle to beat any team in the competition. Okay we get our nine back in a couple of weeks but our 7 and 1 are both at least a month away or more. Seriously...

Hurstville is a great course for mid to high handicap players. The par fours are not to long, only one water carry and a couple of great par 3s. Monday to Friday it’s not to busy after about 11. Most fairways are tree lined so hitting trees is a problem for your score card. I always pull a buggy...
