Kurt Mann-staying or going ?

[Old Timer]

The reason for cutting out reserve grade and third grade was that the State competitions were floundering and needed higher quality players. So bring back reserve grade and have them run on just before the main game. Also have ISP and one Jersey Flegg play at the alternative home ground on a different day in order to spread the love.

What about if you want to be part of the NRL you have to have a reserve grade side and a Flegg side that play in your colours every week
The idea of clubs having intrastate or interstate feeder clubs etc is a joke and adds to the pressure that clubs who do the right thing with juniors etc face from poaching.

It is easy. Only sign the good ones up to four year scholarship deals which bind them to a program with elements of education, career training and football activities with SGI. Have WIN TV provide the scholarships. All options are with WIN TV, they can release them or choose not to release them.

Think he's gone mate...

Not surprising tbh.

God I hope Mary doesn't try to develop Lomax into our next utility player. Sad to lose Mann, if it is true. He gave us 100% whenever he played and was screwed around a fair bit. He will be one player I hope kills it whenever he plays, except when he plays us of course

Never given a proper go by the coach......Can't blame him.

I can't believe the club can sacrifice this bloke all for the supposed & failed attempt to get the Hayne Cockpit Plane.

Sharkies may be looking for a fullback or 5/8. Maybe Kurt will be poached by the sharks?
Ohh maybe not, Mann's shocker round 2 at fullback all those years ago was at shark park. I'll never forget that day standing on the hill, my mates gave it to me after I talked Kurt up.
Don't think Mary forgot it either?

Mann has a Club in Newcastle that want him. Aitken and Lafai have …………..

You are right to a certain point mate but I would love to see aitken play left centre all his mates tell me that is his natural side and has no trouble passing right to left he even palms with his right hand hence why he always steps in any way cheers mate love your posts

I am not a fan of Aitken at centre, but after reading that, I am wondering why we haven't seen Aitken at left centre for so long?

I thought the reason they cut reserve grade and third grade was to cut expenses. It would cost a lot to transport 3 full teams to locations such as NZ, Nth Qld etc. It would also cost a lot to have them all contracted to the club.

Have you seen Lafai play on the right? Not comfortable.

I think it’ll happen in time and hopefully he’ll have competition from Marsters.

 

[dragon thomo]

I would not let Mann go,as it will leave our depth even lower. Why didnt we give Aitkin permission to talk. I think English super league would help his game especially his attack. I wonder if they are going to have a crack at Alex Johnsen now that Hayne is in a bit off strife.
I not sure about Johnsen, it doesnt really excite me to get him.

Over on the Knights forum, most can't even find a spot for Mann in the 17. If they are he becomes....wait for it..... a utility off the bench!!!
