Yeah,when he was with us he reminded me of Thurston off the bench with the Dogs,added sparkle to our dull attack the few times he could get the ball without RF hogging it.
Probably won't rise to Thurston's heights but good luck to him and if he keeps his form next year definitely deserves an Origin run.

I know their long gone but its related to the now.
We released these guys to concentrate on paying over to juniors who have let us down.
And look now.
Marty has already put in 2 x MOM performances against quality away opponents in Easts and Canberra.
Jac has played important parts in Storms victorys as a winger against us and Dogs.
And Austin done more for us and Canberra than Moses.
And Farah who was involved in the dirty work of helping to push these guys out fell victim to the guys club thought was the future.
Thats why this hurts now.

Well remember reading at the time Farah saying he had spoken to Austin discouraging him because the club was going to go Broses.
Thats why he felt also that the club owed him something he also had his family put players up when new etc.
These 3 can win u a game. Marty against quality including World cup finals.
The club at the time believed Moses more valuable.

Marty Taupau was in same boat as teddy and woods. He left primarily because he saw manly as a strong club and us as a weak one. He was never going to stay and was certainly not pushed

You still need value for money. Why pay these guys whatever they want? Let other clubs pay overs and if it comes off then good luck to them.

Losing Addo Carr was pants on head stupid. How we managed to let him go boggles the mind.

Well Thinking for me I would rather Jac to Suli and probably cheaper.
Prefer Marty to Wood$.
And Austin to Mo$e$.
Reckon we would do better with less internal unrest.
But, thats just me.

That's funny because I watched him play in NSW cup a few times and he always scored 2 or 3 tries which is exactly how you can tell someone is a first grader.
Look the facts are, JAC was still young. Last year was his first non NYC year. He wanted to be here. He was a Tigers fan from childhood. It was a dream for him. And he's fast. The fastest maybe. We need guys like him because they are hugely influential to the culture.

James Roberts to me is a class centre and when Jac marked him last year had him worried all night.
Takes a lot of intercepts meaning a smart guy who is a good reader of the play.
