We've seen those dreams come true, though. (infrequntly)You know I love a "training the house down" story every pre-season.

It's frustrating because I remember a couple of games where he seemed fired up and he was destructive.Great news. My only comment on Stefano is I’d like to see him run with the intent to hurt. He’s big but I reckon he’s a bit soft.
Yeah but we've heard this about Stef before but it really hasn't matched what he's produced on fieldFunnily enough the players that train the hardest and get themselves fitter than the rest, generally produce the better on field performances.
You and me both. He played Orign in 2023. Not a bad effort in a team like ours. Plus, he’s a prop who can regularly find the line. Not many of those around.I don’t get the hate for Stefano.
Big Stef is vital to our chance of success in 2024 and it’s crucial that we re-sign him long term.Also people forget Stef only played 9 games in 2022 because of injury so 2023 was a comeback season for him as well.
I’m getting the DT’s man, I can’t wait any longer for the Lick Bricks it’s my team article…… for manly 🤣🤣🤣You know I love a "training the house down" story every pre-season.
Over DCE and Turbo? Yeah right.I’m getting the DT’s man, I can’t wait any longer for the Lick Bricks it’s my team article…… for manly 🤣🤣🤣
I'm so conditioned and broken as a WT fan, you can't put "sponsor" and "soon" so close together that my brain doesn't think that was Spoon 🤣😭We're looking for a new sponsor soon 😉
Ffs stop being a drama queen... 'hate', jesus!I don’t get the hate for Stefano.
He’s improving every year and last year was the first year he cemented a starting spot. I mentioned previously statistically he’s at a similar level to AFB at the same age which is elite company.
I’m not sure why people expect him to be Payne Hass level.
Don’t think it’s hate but people pulling back on comments that make him out to be Payne haas levelI don’t get the hate for Stefano.

Well we got rid of the real villains at the club at the same time so I guess we’ll never be able to pinpoint the root cause. I wish Brooksy well at Manly, he had a real dig for the club.Very true. His crabbing towards the touch line
use to shit me up the wall. He use to squeeze
the 3 quarter line & get tackled 5 metres from
touch which generally killed the next play too.
Decent off the cuff player but terrible option
taker. Harsh, but we wasted 10 years with him
thinking he'd come good & be our general smh
May be Craig Laundy and Barry O'Farrell should have a chat - both ex Liberal party members, although State and Federal. I'm sure their paths have crossed.Laundy was actually a tigers fan

He was the whipping boy for fans due to playing in a weak-sub-standard team put together by unqualified decision makers. The fact he’s still a highly paid NRL player while our previous management are unemployable in the game tells you the truth.I don't think the front office has as much impact
on the teams performance & results as the
starting five-eighth does honestly speaking.
The fact he wasn't dropped to reggies once over
a 10 year period tells you all you need to know
about how he got kissed on the dick. I don't wish
ill towards him but I stop short at wanting 2 C
him doing well at another club. I appreciate his
service, but rugby league historians will look back
at our lack of success over the last decade and
not only point out the instability of the club, but
also who was leading us around 4 all those years.
What we did to him was a bit unfair in the sense
that when we lost the 'big 3' he was asked to
do something he wasn't ready to do, and that's
be our general. Only took 10 years to realise
it but here we are. Good luck to him but I'm not
going to sit there and cheer him on that's 4 sure

I will enjoy any success he has at Manly. He’s no superstar but he can play the game.
He never played with Marshall in his prime. I watched him debut at the SCG, they moved Benji into the centres to give him that game, which he dominated.He can definately play, but I couldn't care less
how he goes, especially in sea eagles colours.
A weak sub-standard team for 10 years? You do
realise 100 players were in and out of the team
during his tenure at the club? he had 1 Benjamin
Quentin Marshall playing along side of him &
mentoring him for part of his career too. I get
some of you still love him but let's not whitewash
over the last decade because he's a good boy.
