Sloan gets a rough deal at the Dragons. He's not a Flanagan style of player. Raw pace is an outstanding commodity and I'm sure our coaching team teach him defence.

Thinking of the mighty Alf Duncan who played wing for Manly in the late 90’s.

O'Brien not looking happy after a big loss and a long flight home. Seibold with his team looking to be out of the finals. Both now under pressure and both I believe are Moses clients. Maybe they could swap teams?

Throw in Desi paws and there will be probably 3 looking for another job, their supporters will be feeling dread going forward F if I know where they are going to find quality coaches.
Predicting pain for those clubs, glad that crap is in our rear-view mirror.

Agreed. Hopefully we will some new faces in the coaching ranks which means clubs will have to gamble (as we did).

And Wests reserves. I had high hopes for Duncan when we signed him in 2000 but he never got a look in.

we just saw the cowboys beat the knights 38-4 ... not that this says a lot. .
</end rant>
OMG we beat Manly 26/12.. What is it with our latest games. We look error prone, but our oppositions in Eagles and Dogs look a lot worse!
good try by Tolutau Koula against us. Then it's us leading with good direction and good passing out to the wings. ... But man error prone plays everywhere.
<resume rant>
Obrien and Siebold are probably in hot water. Siebold most definately will be once DCE leaves.
I actually think Obrien can coach or offer something to NRL. Siebold though likely won't get another job after leaving Manly. Naturally if Siebold can make the Eagles Soar with Fogarty then he is safe....
^He might not get the chance, particularly if Des is punted from the Titans.
You and @poopy_diaper both.

We may well be. I know Gallant is aware of him. He didn't imply one way or the other but I also am told Crosby has 6 clubs chasing his signature.
What would you offer him in years and dollars? Obviously you’d be gambling on his potential.
I reckon based on potential he is way more valuable then bird at 400k.... wouldnt be made if tigers signed him for a couple of years at 400k given bird is a genuine reserve grader on that amount

On the bench in NSW Cup and this weekend ran for 32 metres in 30 minutes. What am I missing?

I wouldn't offer him 400k. Twal is on 400k.
He has a high ceiling but he also has a very low floor. I watched him like a hawk on Saturday and he was very poor. He is a highlight reel maker but play to play he sort of moseys around and is constantly looking for opportunities to recover. He hides out behind the ruck a lot. But he does make good contact in both attack and defense.
I think with coaching he could be anything but right now he'd be a project. You need him to get his cardio way up and get a lot more hungry for the ball and to make an impact.
Would offer him a dev deal with a top 30 for 27 and no more. Would rather him than Broederlow on dev for next year. He has more upside than Kit but Kit has a lot more heart.

The week before he ran for 130m on 11 carries and had like 19 tackles with none missed. It was a bad game though. Right now the problem with him is there is a massive gap between his best and worse. At his best he looks like a white Taumalolo clone. At his worst he plods around like a deer in headlights.
