eelavation said:He's no spring chicken!! he'll be 26 next year and won't get better. He is a good Prem player but at best a satisfactory first grader.
everyone talks about how we're letting players go, but Manly has released Ben McDougall and signed Prince. try and work that out.
eelavation said:McDougall [Ben] would be a fantastic buy for any club, he has been far and away Manly's most consistant back, If we make 1 more signing this year I would be more than happy if it's either Ben McDougall, Amos Roberts or wait for it!!!.......................drumroll please. Chris Walker.
eelavation said:Are you sure your not mistaking McDougall with McGuiness????...I agree with you comment on Roberts and Walker. But I'm a big fan Ben McDougall strikes a similarity in his running style to his brother Adam and our very own Matt Peterson.
We'll have to agree to disagree. :?
eels2win said:Another one bites the dust. Not overly surprising. Full back candidates at Parra in 2004:
Burt
Graham
McKinnon
Vaealiki
(Roberts?)
The only reason he's playing NRL in 2003 is because of injuries to Hodgson, Burt, Vaealiki and now Graham.
vs Full back candidates at Manly (well, I'm not really sure, but I'm sure he'd find it easier getting into first grade over there).

Ben Pups McDougall is a fine player and personally I think he is close to Manlys best.
I agree with Eelavation Prince for McDougall is dumb business.
I honestly think Manly are in all soughts of strife. The only good thing they had going for them was an X Eel as coach and now he has gorn!
Their best Prop leaves them, their best back gorn, plus a coach who has over achieved considering the bunch of gumbies he was given.
The only thing they have got going for them is a great old fashioned Rugby League ground. Love Brooky, but unfortunately it finishes there.
I can taste a Wooden Spoon in 2004 for the Eagle Rock boys!!
Its hard to keep them all....so many good ones. It must be easy at Manly though...not much talent comes out of there.Manly Eagle said:Freak said:Geez Ron that was clumzy!!

Oh yeah wooden spooners hey? Lets just see Manly go up the ladder, not 2nd last this year with a sub-standard coach who go's for money, not pride.
What about your Parra's player retention??
:lol: :lol: :lol: Thats deadset the dumbest thing i have ever heard, we were one of the top teams practically our whole existance until 98 and now we have a group of youngsters coming through who are probably only rivaled by wests, these includeMaroubra Eel said:Its hard to keep them all....so many good ones.
