The OP suggests that he will not join until next season.
Yeah, good depth signing, can play back row and prop. He'll probably show up on the bench rather than Oake at times but play mostly for Wenty. Big unit who can play very tough when he wants to but he's an even gentler bloke than Fui from what I hear and can also be pretty soft...maybe playing and training with Fui will teach him some aggression/
wasnt he the one who smashed Anista? or was that someone else?
Decent buy, should see a few first grade games here.
Nah, that was Fa'alogo, same bloke who thumped JT after the karate chop
WHAT!? JT, Fa alogo and a karate chop!?
please elaborate![]()
i actually meant Shack but in Manny's case I have no idea of the details and his signing is still a speculation but given that they've waited until the 11th hour to do a deal makes me think that he'll be on a very minimal contract until the end of the year and possibly a fulltime contract for next year given that he was signed until the end of 2011 with the cows..
Nice guy.
Big unit.
Soft as a pillow though.
I remember in his last year at Souths, we played a game against Canberra at home that we were expected to win. They had almost all of their forward pack out through injury and fielded a pack full of nobody's. Still managed to smash us though...
Anyway, Manase was defending under the goal posts and deadset nearly took up all the space between the uprights, he is that big. Some tiny second rower from Canberra who hasn't been sighted since, picked the ball up out of dummy half about 5 out and run over Manase like he wasn't even there. Didn't bother stepping or dummying, just tucked the ball under his arm and ploughed through Manase like a farmer ploughs through wheat. At that stage I knew he was absolutely useless. The evidence had been mounting up for some time, but that incident proved the theory conclusively for me.
As I said, big unit. Lovely bloke, plenty of talent, but a gentle giant and thats not what you want in an NRL forward.
you just wish someone would smash thurston :lol:ah my bad thought u meant JT as in jonothan thurston![]()
Hope DA improves him cause i've never rated the bloke. Well, hope he proves me wrong. How much do you guys think we bought him for?
Could have got Carl Webb for 2 dozen crispy cremes
