I'd rather Feagi and Ravalava. Powerfull strong runners.

I basicaly said it first game back he looks sharp.

Lane is probably in the top 3 ball playing 2nd rowers going around.
I seen his first pre season trial amd called it. I'm sure everyone remembers. My judgement is egeale eyed

If your judgment was any good you’d know he is top one, not top three.

Because he’s quick and tall and that’s it. He’s almost the inverse Jrthur

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Not sure many have questioned lanes ability or skill set. It’s his brain explosions that gives away penalties or six agains, or worse his consistent laziness. If he fixes those deficiencies he’s just as valuable to our team like any other edge forward to their team.

In attack he’s one of the best. In defence he is below average. Maybe the only edge forward whose half covers his defensive flaws.

I hope so but our defence needs fixing quick smart. Manly absolutely killed us yesterday when they spread it.

We seemed to do a decent job of fixing that after halftime.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I heard Gary Belcher refer to him by his nickname "The Gecko" on the wireless yesterday when discussing his feud with Cam Smith. He does look like a Gecko I must admit.

It’s not because of his looks, it’s because of his favourite sex move.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Prove it

 

[Gary Gutful]

Just watching the replay. Jakes movement in D in the second half was much improved. Pretty bad in the first half and Penisini didnt help but a good adjustment by both after half time. Well done to all concerned.

Particularly BA.

He wanted out. They werent keen to release him

New Manly winger Jason Saab has explained how he still leans on Paul McGregor for advice despite asking for a release towards the end of the ex-Dragons coach’s tenure.

Saab requested three releases from his St George Illawarra contract midway through last season after citing the commute to the Illawarra every morning as a reason for asking to quit the Red V.

You would have to know all the other ball playing edge forwards to know if that was true. I barely know any player outside of the eels now. There are several players who play origin that I haven’t heard of.

Have you seen Terence Boon from the Cowboys? He goes alright.

Seems like you where right. I was wrong.

Ok, we will discard your judgement going forward ... lol

I would.
Except in relation to big decisions the game needs to make like rule changes etc.
That is my specialty now.

I’ll look into it.
Edit: nope, joke name.

 

[hindy111]

I’ll look into it.

You may be analed by Terence

The whole season we have beans leaking soft tries. Nothing has changed, one half of footy does not fill me with confidence. Our defence is one of the worst in the top 8. We shouldn’t be having this type of issue this far into a season.

He was 19 and 20 behind more experienced players whilst he was at the dragons. Similar situation as to what Russell is in now, the clubs know the talent they possess but unfortunately aren't able to find a regular spot for them in first grade. Saab requested a release because he didnt want to travel down to Wollongong for training anymore, a quick google search brings up a few articles stating this.

If the dragons "didn't see his potential" he wouldn't have been signed to them in the first place.

The fact that is considered a silly idea of mine by others baffles me.
