We have to go for Harry

Bring him home!

 

[innsaneink]

Yeah, I don't get that one. I mean, Harry is incredible. But Phoenix is a good player and on his way up.

Hes got a bit between the ears re footy

Maybe he sees a new club on the rise as opposed to one going the other way
Or maybe hes just trying to up his value

The speed of the game has killed Melbourne. No more wrestle.

At full strength and with their signings for 2027 I think they might be a Top 4/6 side

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

So you think maybe Tyson is going to do the commute every day from Newcastle to Sydney ( 2 - 21/2 hours each way ) that will break him if we are not going well

The Frizells are moving to Sydney. I posted a story in this thread a few hours ago.

Who would be number 1 fullback backup next year Schiller Attard?

Averillo.
Then maybe Bryenton depending how he goes in the offseason

My 2c on the attack vs defence argument.

Both are crap, however my theory is our rubbish defence puts pressure on our attack. They have no confidence they can defend back to back sets, so they play very conservative in attack so we dont make errors.

I think it's the opposite. In so many matches we were right in it, had opportunities in the opposition half and did less than bugger all. The repeated inability to turn possession into points made our heads drop and then one counter attack from our opponents would lead to 3-4 tries in 15 minutes. If we could score more often when we were on top we might have made the finals

Very true not being able to apply score board pressure was a big problem

And no shape what so ever the opposition defence would have been happy just an easy training run for them conserves there energy to attack us

I wouldn’t need to read a story to figure that out. It’s not really news.

Its good to hear it from the man himself tho

Anyone hearing the club is delaying the departure list due to negotiations about lay down Douhei being moved on?

Wouldnt surprise me, also a few other players not sure on future / re-signing- Seyfarth, Sukkar etc.

Heard this week manly are prepared to pay 450k of brooks 650k salary for 2027,
no news if any clubs have shown any interest however.
From player perspective apparently he is keen to stay in sydney

Even for $200k, I just can't see a spot in the squad.

Seyfarth was already extended last year wasn’t he

We should spy on the Tigers management and see if anyone’s buying a gift wrapped BBQ 🤔

 

[magpies forever]

Yes, but recall he was one of 3 players (names I forget) that were told he could look elsewhere if he wanted to. I think his late season form has probably made WT want to keep him but maybe the seed was set for Seyfarth to explore options.

Edit- the silence from the club can only mean there are machinations within the existing roster and those leaving. Like so much, its $$$$

Desperate to offload him…Souths?

That was a Pascoe Fiasco and Lee special

i think the injury has pushed it a bit and he will not be there in 2028 they have the young guys coming through in Large and Walsh.
maybe souths, think they keep walker though.
if things changed in our squad and players left it wouldnt suprise me tbh apparently he still chats to benji a little bit
