Just arrived back home to hear this, seems Bellamy students hate to leave the classroom . . . and apparently are willing to take 'obvious' pay cuts to stay. Great to have someone in charge of the financial records that knows what he's f**king doing

Any preference for what you catch, Pops??

 

[POPEYE]

Pickings are slim ol' mate . . . doesn't help that everyone knows I'm in favour of any team doing anything necessary to keep champion players they create

Shaun Lane to Manly on a 2 year deal apparently.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Shaun is a good pick up for Manly....he was a quality player at the dogs before we shipped him off to NZ.

Probably gun-shy after seeing how their alma mater (Mann, Widdop, Blair, Nielsen etc) have performed elsewhere

Didn't last long over in NZ. Might go ok at Manly though.

Yeah I think he could be a very handy pick up.

I could imagine that it would be quite difficult for a young forward to fit into the Warriors systems.

If he can recapture his Dogs form then will be handy off the bench.

Warriors lack of systems
Hopefully Prof Barrett gets the most out of him. A bit of depth without someone like Symonds.

Blair's doing alright and Mann is one of the Dragon's best(sic) but you could be right, not everyone can be a Bell, Hoffman, Turner, Johnson, J. Smith, Inglis, Falou, White, Tagatese, Chambers, Manu, Tolman, Kostjasyn, Maloney or O'Neill and hold down a position at another club

St Helens half-back Travis Burns will return to Australia to join Wynnum Manly Seagulls for next season.

The 32-year-old, who is currently on loan at Leigh Centurions, had another year remaining on his contract at Langtree Park.

He joined Saints in 2014 from Hull Kingston Rovers for £60,000 and has scored 72 points in 34 appearances.

"Naturally, it's a shame it didn't work out at Saints but that is how rugby league goes sometimes," Burns said.

Lane was dropped and then released because of his shit attitude and work ethic. Not sure Barrett is a coach who can fix that

Maybe he had a shit attitude and work ethic because of Hasler?

I'm no psychologist so I'll just wait and see.

 

[betcats]

Maybe he was smoking crack? The dogs was two clubs ago, his attitude may have changed all by itself already now he has seen how tough it is to lock down a FG spot and spending time slugging away in NZ reggies, I think he has a future in the NRL just gotta work hard.

Been a great night for me, Farah's a goner

I can't recall seeing Nicholls in first grade this year.

He didn't. Was out injured for much of the year I believe and came back late in the year to play Qld Cup.

So we should be prepared for Manly to raid everyone's Juniors again and force all the prices of half decent 20's players through the roof?
