Manly even had the hide to offer us Harper

Only possible with the dispensation you would think though

No guarantee of getting it. The club is going to try though.

I would think they’d be a good chance, it wasn’t a regular club game, it was an international match as the 2 teams were from different countries, it was officiated differently as someone would of been suspended for the tackle on May if it was a club game

Worth a try atleast

Not true.

Can't you just stay clear when there's fun rumours floating around?

Was nice to dream for the 3 seconds before finding out it was bullshit.

I was thinking the same.

Blade poo-pooed the Fafita rumour almost off the bat and did the same with this one

He has to drop his intensity.
His current role is to go out and play hard and fast. Leave nothing in the tank.
That is why he is gassed.
If he paces himself, 40-50 in the future is not out of the question. 60 minutes is burn out for a prop.

He has his times when we defend for 10 minutes and he's gassed. Even if he drops his intensity the gap's too big for the type of player who plays large minutes that you'd pay 600+ for. Dunno what you mean about 60 minutes being burn out. All the better props in the league play around 60 thus why you can justify paying them 600+.

Leota stopped coming from the back fence every run and is able to play more around 60 for example. But he was playing normal bench minutes. We aren't regularly bringing him off after 15.

Anyone remember the Jamie Lyon to Penrith rumours in mid 2004?

f**k me that was almost two decades ago

Edit: Now with a link.

Eels let Lyon talk to Panthers

Reports today suggest Parramatta is ready to release centre Jamie Lyon, but only to Penrith and not to Manly.

Yes! We got the great Mark O'Halloran instead

@Blade23 Mcclean starting wing rumour is bullshit right? No way he can jump Turuva and Jenkins after one trial.

Leota averaged 41 minutes during the regular season last year. He only had 2 games over 50 minutes.

Fish averages 51 minutes last year with 3 games over 60 minutes.

Paulo averages 48 minutes during the regular season. Just 2 games at 60 minutes.

RCG 51 minutes during the regular season. 2 games over 60 minutes

Haas plays well over 60 minutes but Brisbane are going to burn him out.

I don't think it is unreasonable for Spencer to push up to 40-50 minutes in the future. Not now. He will need to pace himself and pull back on the big collisions.

He should be at least be playing 15 minutes before HT and another 15 minutes after the HT.

I wouldn't pay $600k either. He is not at that level yet.
