Matt Ballin

Any news on if he will stay another couple of years? Have I missed something?

 

[Jatz Crackers]

As far as im aware, nothing definitive as yet RM.

I am probably the only Manly fan who thinks this, but i would rather him gone. Heath is doing a way better job and his mind is on Manly.

On his own you have a case eff, but you cant deny that there is a distinct diference between the two. Ballin offers tougher defense and crisper passing to 1st receiver. What he gives up to Lesnak is creativity and faster dummy half play.

Put Lesnak in for the 80 & what do you foresee ?

So do the maths (or math as the yanks like to say) and tell me what will happen if you dump the relief dummy and maintain ballin the whole 80 ?

 

[Snoop]

Ballin had a bit of a slow start to the season but he has been really good recently. I hope we can keep both, they make a great double act.

Im just sick of his stupid dummy half dives close to the line that 99% of the time end up in a wasted tackle.

:sarcasm: i did leave myself with 1% to not look completly stupid :lol:

 

[Jatz Crackers]

Good work. Its those 1% efforts that can turn a game Eff.

 

[Daddycool]

Personally, I think we are better off hanging on to him. He had a slow start to the season, as did a few others ( Jamie Lyon & Glen Stewart), but look at them now!
I think we probably won't see what he is really capable of until next year. In any case the current combination with Heath is working well. So...as the saying goes.....if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

 

[oneeyedeaglesman]

Was close to our best against the Sharks.Keeps improving,definate keeper.

 

[RainMan]

I hope he stays. Dikefalos! We need your guidance!

 

[RainMan]

Still nothing? I am of the belief Manly cannot fit him under the cap.

 

[dikefalos]

I hope he stays. Dikefalos! We need your guidance!

he is currently negotaiting a 2 year deal to remain at the club. My inside mail was it was going to be finalised at the end of july but no announcement has been forthcoming. the club is struggling to keep him under the cap but he wants to remain & the club want to keep him.
