I reckon we'd need to be in the top 6 for any of our boys to really get a look in.

The one most likely at the moment, and I cant believe im saying it, is Twal.

I really hope a few of the lads get in the extended squad, but then free up for our games.

Twal is going awesome, but i can't see him breaking into the nsw pack bar a few injuries.

His last season with the Tigers he was paid $1.1 million

that is bs he was paid 1.1 million but dont let facts get in the way of your rant.
it was heavily back ended though, first year of that contract was under 500k.
When the last contract here came up he was offered a figure, agreed to it and then the figure was changed by about 150k - 200k
Not a Moses fan but he did a hell of a job getting him that deal at Manly.
Glad he did go as we wouldn't have got Luai if he stayed.
he will end up a number 9 at manly but the manly forwards are rubbish

I reckon we see Brooksy 2.0 at hooker. Hope so for his sake.

he had been training there a fair bit in the summer planning for Walsh coming in and also they only really have simpkin at hooker.
It is the amount of tackling he would have to do that would see him struggle
he should go to super league really.

To his credit he improved from a really poor defender to a very good solid defender. I think 9 could be his spot . I Wish him the best

You know just the normal stuff, explicitly spelt out.

No Bad behaviour including saying "DUMB STUFF ON TWITTER".

See a councillor, prefably one more sane then Harley Quinn.

Also no calling yourself Messaih. If you start a cult no recruiting Tigers Juniors... etc.

He’s got MOS written all over him.
How much does it cost to freight a WT’s BBQ to Pomlandia? He should get that in his contract.
Seriously though I don’t have any hate for Brookesy but I don’t want his team to beat us.
 
I don't blame the club for anything that they paid Brooks or Brooks for taking it - he has all the skills. I believe off field he was more than vocal about what he believed he was capable of despite all this belief by some that he was mute and or meek.
Will never support the theory the club did wrong by him - they backed him to the hilt above all others.

Mate the bloke has a serious mental health condition that he is receiving treatment for. This is a very poor take

The club did absolutely nothing wrong by him. In fact they very much did right by him in offering good contracts.
Doesn't mean it wasn't a shit show the entire time he was here. Some like to blame him for that, others (myself included) do not.

He had a new coach every 2 years.
There arent many successful halves that last 10 years with that sort of turnover.
Player problem or club/coach problem?

It's sad to see how both the Turbo boys have lost so much of their ability so quickly....both are a shadow of their former self and Manly have not planned well for this moment...

Unfortunte coincidence..Jakes 32..and has been played recently as a bash and barge prop,not using his considerable ball skills
Everyone wants to see him bow out gracefully with a medical retirement..its time
Turbo has a very liteweight frame..had a lot of injuries which have slowed him down a yard or two,and that was his point of difference
Got a year or two left in him,but not much more
Very frustrating for Manly fans,but as theyve got half a tigers tean playing fotr them cant feel a lot of sympathy..except they mostly chose the wrong ones!

you know him do you ?
he is not a vocal guy, he would leave all that up to his manager.
I know he agreed to a heavily backended contract at the Tigers to help the salary cap out, the first 2 years of that deal.

He had and has a very good manager in Isaac evidence by the manly contract that was a remarkable deal for him to get.
now he is at a crap show at manly
