With Blore coming through releasing Garner is smart. Madge seems to like powerful bigger edge forwards. Garner defensively has been a major concern.

I didn't realise Stephen Humphreys is the CEO at the Eagles. Perhaps the Garner link?

Well if Manly want Garner, and he is under contract for another 2 years.....what are manly going to give us in return?? Considering they have stated when AFB goes they aren't paying a cent.....time some clubs started to grow some minerals when it comes to helping other clubs out

We don't owe anybody anything so as long as the club plays hardball for our own benefit.....then hallelujah!!!

Garner would be a decent pick up for Manly running off DCE or Foran if they get him as well.

A convicted wife beating anti-vaxxer who has a reputation for bagging out the disabled.

Sounds like the sort of bloke we'd want to build our club around.

He’s a great player that’s all that matters. Does he train and play hard? If so, then we should chase them

Plenty of absolute idiot players in the NRL who have done terrible things, taking the moral high ground gets you no where nowadays. All that matters is if they can play

I can take a guy like JAC who flaunted COVID rules to go on a shoot. I could even take a guy who DUI'd. They are both examples of reckless behaviour, but I cannot abide someone who beats their partner. Domestic violence is something that does not sit right with me. You're free to disagree obviously, but I believe the club and league in general needs to apply better judgment with guys like this. I wasn't happy about Musgrove signing until his conviction was overturned.

Being a great player doesn't absolve you of having to be accountable for your actions. He showed his colours towards women again when Molan made fun of islander surnames (which I don't agree with either.)

I agree domestic violence is disgusting and he shouldn’t be allowed in the NRL, but at the same time while these people are allowed in the NRL we can’t take the moral high ground and fall behind other clubs. Being the good guys won’t get us into finals.

I think there needs to be more than one filter to accept a player into our club and it needs to be more than just because they are a great player. That didn’t work for the AMP CEO who was a gun investment manager but had a history of sexually predatory behaviour. Investors and staff called it out and look how that is going for their reputation and share price. I think the families of West Tigers supporters would be equally outraged.

OK DCE and Hastings

Least the in goal area would be interesting post opposition tries

I don't know ..I'm pretty outraged with the lack of finals footy

Cant believe people still worrying about ego.

Id love for Luke Brooks to have an ego.

Ego is essential to be a top half.

 

[weststigerman]

Weird. Where did Luke Garner come from?

I think Garner is a decent back up second rower but not a good enough lateral mover in defence and is a bit too light to be damaging on the edge. If I was Manly I’d go hard for McIntyre, hopefully we’ve re-signed him.

North Coast NSW product.

I meant the rumour which seemed to come out of nowhere, but good to know.

I would think ability and leadership would be the two qualities essential....

wouldn't it make people sick!!!! So problems at other clubs are starting as whispers potentially affecting our club....I say they would have to come to us with something amazing before we consider it

God you'd hope for something to kick off....nothing like a fight between teammates!!! technically they would both be binned for it

Garner had that word about him POTENTIAL sadly I dont think he's taken the next step this year his defence has been ordinary and if he was to be released I dont think we would miss him with the young guys coming through and if it frees up cap space even better
