We have way more spare parts than actual footballers, but that is very funny.

If it were Teddy's knee that need cartilage…. I'd donate.
Every time he scored a try, I'd yell from the sideline " That's my cartilage that scored!!!".
* plus he's younger than Ballin, so my cartilage many more years in 1st grade.
**note, if he changed clubs, I'd ask for it back.

Manly were into some weird voodoo some at one point. Drinking calfs blood and inserting dead humans body parts.
I think Hasler is some sort of extreme mad scientist specialising in RL, he'd be up to all sorts of weird stuff at the Bulldogs now. We just don't know about it yet. Apparently Sam kasiano is 48 yrs old but Hasler has been experimenting on him and has given him the energy of an 18 yr old.
Let's not go into what he's turn James Graham into. But it's definitely not all human.
People die and donate organs,body parts are just another step in the progress of mankind…
I hope Matty has a superb year and all the critics and naysayers have to vomit into their mouths through embarrassment...
Matts a good guy and to keep bagging a bloke that loves rugby league and gives 200% to the club he is with
deserves a little more respect than what he has been shown on this forum...he is a WTs player now,get behind him and hope he can be on the field for all the season,this club needs him,his knowledge and experience, the members and fans should embrace him ...most on here should understand he is not filling Robbie Farahs jumper he will make it his own,wether playing or guiding the younger hookers that need guidance..
We have gone through the boys club,now the men will stand up and teach the young guys the right way to play and conduct themselves..

No mate,teachers and I didn't see eye to eye,Iam a a supervisor at a golf club,previously I managed hotels in the country areas of NSW.I also played Rugby League in the Riverina,Turvey Park Wagga Wagga,6 yrs playing in one of the toughest groups in NSW group nine,the home of the Mortimer Bros,Greg Brentnel,Les Boyd,Cliff Lyons,Peter Stirling just to name a few..
I don't want to be a name dropper but it was life for me at an early age,I learnt the hard way and so many people don't appreciate what it was like having to work for a living and dedicating a fair amount of your life to a club and sport for very little return just to keep the club going..
I do know what its like to be appreciated by the little things in life eg being gifted a meal for two voucher at an exclusive restaurant for my efforts…
these days its all about the almighty dollar...back then it was for the love of the sport and club..
Hopefully this has given you an insight into the life of a worker and half handy footballer...all for the love of the game..
cheers mate...HAPPY VALENTINES DAY....
@Harvey said:
Exactly right Harvey,I had a mate in Wagga many years ago when we played footy together,we had our end of year trip to Sydney,the first stop for him was the old House of Health brothel,dont know if it still excists but he paid the madam with his eftpos card and his missus got the statement at the end of the month….geez he came up with some pearler excuses but she knew better ...they weren't a couple to much longer after that small discrepancy.. :crazy

So TT, 200% equals 1 and a half games, , how much more is left. I'd feel the same who ever it was that is bought into the club at his age, under an injury cloud, then loses most of the first year to a similar injury. We need good players , not a father figure for our players.
If that's what we do need , surely we don't need to tie up cap space and/ or places in our top 25 to get it.
I hope he gets on the field and can play , but Jeez we do some dumb things regarding players.

Mate I don't want to argue the fine points,Teddy lasted five mins on his debut,but he is a legend,Ballin has been in the system far longer and although has had bad luck these couple of years,his character and knowledge will be beneficial to us in the long run…cut him some slack and let him get on the paddock before we judge him entirely...players of all ages and quality get hurt big time during their careers...don't let emotions take over your personality GCT....if people can tell the difference... 😱pen_mouth:

To you TT he may be a legend, to me he was a very good player nearing the end of his career, with a serious injury and now another . I ( as most here) don't know him as a bloke. I'm more interested in whether he can be of value to the team as a player, and I think that it will take a hell of a lot of luck to work out that way

Have seen a couple of posts suggesting that we are paying Ballin the full amount of his contract this year, can anyone confirm? Reports suggest that he re-signed with Manly until the end of the 2017 season, therefore the would still have to be subsidising his contract.

$ 6 Million won't get you much these days Geo :roll
Mate of mine managed to get his HK onto the hard sand at Rainbow Beach in the mid 80's through the cheers of many onlookers and that was his scream out the window :roll
"We have power , we have the technology , better ,stronger and faster "
Wasn't so lucky getting back up though :laughing:
