You tube highlight reel ... The basis for Lingard's high opinion of Tommy Humble...

Manly have signed Redcliffe flyer Delroy Berryman.

Damn. Looks like a good pickup.

The game needs more Delroys.

I think there's some interest there yes!

Genius signings of the last couple of years who have all been let go early due to mostly being shit:

Tahu,
Walker
Webb
Phatuwira
Hicks
Esi Tonga
Tautai
and soon Roberts

I'm sure ive missed some

*Billy Rogers (how could i forget him!)

So we are talking to him then? so a rumor that might be within a solar system of being on the money?

 

[Stagger eel]

Well as far as I'm aware he's not signed yet and I'd be shocked if the dogs would want to do us a Favour anyway

Have you heard anything about the sims rumour that was talked about last night

Nah mate, I reckon that rumour is fanciful at best

Ah well one can wish though. Was definatley a long shot even if we did try to do the move.

Korbin being the only sims off contract I can see him heading north

 

[The Engineers Room]

Taupau is a handy player. Still not sure what the plan is with the young forwards yet. I hope some are allowed to show what they have. Especially guys like Terepo and Masinuma (SP?).

Don't forget Grothe, Mortimer, Mitchell, Shackleton and Horo - all turfed while still under contract.

Of the ones you listed, Hicks only signed for one year. He saw out his contract.

Ha, i knew there was more, surprised at how many!

If we include Roberts and leave out Hicks that's a a full team of 13

1. Walker
2. Grothe
3. Esi Tonga
4. Phats
5. Tahu
6. Roberts
7. Mortz
8. Tautai
9. Mitchell
10. Webb
11. Horo
12. Shackleton
13. Sir Billy Rogers

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Interestingly, of all those players, four retired:

Grothe
Walker
Whatuira
Webb

Add to those the ones who retired when their contracts ran out:

Burt
Hicks
Hindmarsh
McGuire

And then those who will probably retire when their current contracts end (if not earlier):

Maitua
Moimoi
Smith

That's a lot of old farts we've been carrying for far too long.

The problem with old players are that they're generally more expensive than a younger player of similar ability, and they're injury prone.

let go early due to mostly being shit

Taupau, yes please! Would be handy.
