Manly releases Watmough.

Love how the Manly folk trash talk their players after they've done so much for the club, especially with the success they helped bring.

One fan...dickhead.

Watmough has had a fantastic career at Manly but we could all see how he was a destabilising factor amongst the playing ranks this season. Hopefully with Choc gone, DCE will rise and dominate again.

I think the club's once again made the right calls. Mason should be just the sort of player Manly needs right now and would be on a fraction of the money Watmough would have been on.

Will be interesting if Parra fans still sook about all the Parra juniors at Manly while their starting side has juniors from Narrabeen, Belrose and Narraweena.

Which trio is better?
King/Watmough/ G Stewart all on the back end of their careers OR
Mason/Mateo on the back end of their careers and Mateo struggling at the Warriors and Vave in his prime.

For Manly, they look stronger now imo. Watmough comes across as a cancer in 2014, certainly not the player we've seen in the past. King seems soft now and G Stewart can either be awesome or a complete twat on the field.

Mason will do well, Mateo will benefit being back in Oz an having a change in scenery. Vave is about to enter his prime years.

Taylor/Catwright/Peachey is so much better that it isnt even funny.

Yes. Yes we will.

We will also sook about all the Parra juniors at other clubs too.
It's what we do best.

Mateo will be fine because he has enough players around him to do his defensive workload for him. If all he has to do is attack he'll be a good pick up.

Problem with Moanly is their front row.

It is absolute shit.

None of these signings go anywhere near fixing that.

Also rans.

mason will go ok... or at the very least he's can't possibly be any worse than king.... who's been an injury prone pillow for a long time.

Watmough's tank is running very close to empty. Good decision by Manly. Will struggle to finish his contract with the Eels IMO.

Mason. Ffs. He's a lunatic that will take over the culture...like he did at Newcastle. Well past anything. Either Burgess twin will put him in a medicab.

Manly have improved their roster for next year IMO. If they keep Stewart and matai I'll be surprised if they aren't top 4 again

Manly will make the top 8 with ease...probably top 4. They have signed very cleverly indeed imo.

Their forwards next year - Lawrence, Starling, Mason, Mateo, Buhrer, Lefao, Lui, Vave, Tetevano, Symonds, Horo, Hasson, and the youngster Trbojevic. Extreme depth.

Add this forward depth now to their sensational backs...big chance at comp yet again....very clever club I admire them.

Their best signing this year? The Souths CFO Kelly - Penn, very smart businessman.

This.... very glad those rumours about Grant Mayer coming back not true. I mean Grant did an ok job, but we struggled to sign good sponsors even when the team was going well.
