My 2010 team

[philing00]

1.B.Stewart
2.Robertson
3.Lyon
4.Farrar
5.Anyone aprt from the Williams sisters
6.Foran
7.Monaghan/Hodgkinson/Cherry-Evans anyone but Orford
8.King
9.Ballin
10.Perry
11.Watmough
12.Matai
13.G.Stewart

14.Rose
15.Rodney
16.Cross
17.Backup hooker/back

Out - D.William's big prob is defensive reads, not form, which is hard to correct.
Kite- Solid last game against Storm, but usually cant break the line or offload.
Orford- Mr.MIA. Injuries dont cause poor 5th tackle options unless its his brain thats injured.

So lets look for a new HB/hooker and winger/utility back (just in case Snake goes down again we dont need to use Robbo in his spot).

From all accounts Ox is about to sign another deal with the Eagles, I would like to see another options, just seems Dessie wants him to stay.

Smokin Joe will replace Matai in the Second row, not sure who else we have signed, and I think Lussick (don’t know the correct spelling) second rower in under 20's may get close to 1st grade next year, I also think young hoppa may also get a taste next year as well.

thats's because he is making love to him on the qt

I have a team which would fit Manly's "all dickhead" policy

1 B Stewart
2 J Hopoate ( yeah bring him back)
3 J Hodges
4 J Lyons
5 S Matai
6 G Bird ( or B finch)
7 Orford
8 M Crocker
9 M Ennis or C Smith
10 Les Boyd( bring this fat heap back too!)
11 P Gallen
12 P Vautin ( even though they punted the bloke a year after he led them to GF victory in 87 and sent him to rooters reserves)
13 P Gould( blast from the past - his personality is all manly)
14 - 17 any of the current squad

 

[eagles4eva]

Oh I get it, another try at humour, and have you seen Les Boyd lately????

 

[ostrich20]

1. Brett Stewart
2. David Williams
3. Jamie Lyon
4. Steve Matai
5. Michael Robertson
6. Kerion Foran
7. Matt Orford
8. Brent Kite
9. Matt Ballin
10. Jason King
11. Anthony Watmough
12. Joe Galuvao
13. Glenn Stewart

14. George Rose
15. Josh Perry
16. Shane Rodney
17. Ben Farrar

That's what I think Dessie will choose. Am I missing something with Kite, isn't he at the club till 2011.

 

[eagles4eva]

Dogs hey, I am on for the Titans, I don’t think they will win, but very hard to support any of the remaining clubs.

 

[ostrich20]

Well I have to go for a sydney team, I hate seeing the trophy leave sydney. Could never see myself going for the Eels due to the rivalry, and the Dragons cost us our spot in the finals, so I came up with the Dogs.

Would be a good fairytale story as well.

 

[eagles4eva]

Yes I guess, I wonder how many teams have gone from wooden spoon to premiers???

The hierarchy at Manly must be the only people on this planet who believe Orford is worth going on with - he has destroyed us this year. I cannot remember a game where we have not had at some time during a game forward dominance that we have squandered through poor attacking options from this bloke

The paper the other day hinted at a multi year deal for him too !!! Please tell me thats wrong !!!

Surely some of the under 20's would be coming through you would think, although Des does seem very reluctant to play them compared to other coaches. Please tell me that they did not let Jared WH go because they wanted money to resign Orford.....

No he fits the manly profile well. Even though Manly pinched him from wests. Last vision I had of him he was built like darryl brohman:lol:

 

[philing00]

I think its only half the Manly supporters and the Manly heirachy that want Orford to resign. I think the other teams and coaches will be glad if we do. All the games commentators think he's a has-been. We wont make the Gf again with him

I think personally Orford is getting too old, love the way he plays, however the amount of money we would spend to retain him means the difference of keeping some of our younger stars,

we didnt go all the way this year but thats not a bad thing, we still made the 8 we were injury prone all year and had a wave of off feild incidents to overcome.

I believ Hodgkinson is the future, and if i were des i would of given him a go in first grade this year as well.

Foran must be priority signing!!!!!

Orford has been an outstanding ambassador for us, if he was 27 id say keep him but he isnt.. We have quite a bit of talent coming through the grades and if we arnt careful they will leave...

Knew I forgot about someone. big Rosie. He would get my bench spot instead of Farrar. Farrar is too good to have in NSW cup, but thats how it will happen i think.

I am told both Cherry- Evans and Hodkinson have asked for releases.

Cheery-Evans wants to goto the Tigers and Hodkinson back to Parra.
