:lol: Bit hard to be part of a faction when you can't vote because you don't live in the same state.

I supported the ousting of Fitzy, it had to be done. I supported Spags mob because they finally got rid of the fossil, but I was wrong dead wrong. I never had any faith in Sharp and his team I don't deny that, I was proven right sadly.

But what's the answer?? The present set up doesn't work and no one wants the NRL to take over and no one wants the club to be privatised. So what do we do Pou what do we do??? He he he that rhymes..........

Well I supported all of them except Fitzgerald. And in hindsight our period of longest stability came while he controlled the board who signed his paycheck. So what would I know?

bugger.. was hoping we might have got him.. he'd be a welcome addition to our forward pack.

As if he would join our basket case of a club at the peak of his career.

Are we allowed to register contracts at the moment anyway? I thought I read somewhere we aren't able to.

I would make a play for hannant if he is off contract, good defender and a worker with more impact then Mannah. Would be a great foil for younger forwards and he would give us some good experience up front.
Also I'd like Manu to have a chance as a small Middle forward, he is quick and has great footwork to beat bigger guys and he is an astute offloader but he doesn't see enough ball on the left. That way Scott and Edwards could play on the edges and Tepai can play through the middle or on the edges off the bench.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ma'u would be wasted in the middle. He is our best player.

 

[Twizzle]

Twizzle your perception skills are second to none, im always commenting to others how perceptive our fans are this just backs that up.

You're such a nice guy.

Maybe you should run for our new board.

Agreed, he's a weapon. Would make no sense to move him from where he is killing it.

 

[Stagger eel]

Manly lose a player for the rest of the season and the media call for a humanitarian program to take place...
We lose about 10 players for the rest of the year and the media demand for a public flogging and execution as a form of punishment ....
Hahaha lovin this footy season.

 

[Lethal]

I'll reiterated again not that I need to but it appears someone is spinning shit out there, that semi will 100% not be at the Broncos in the future

Do you hold any hope of us retaining him mate?

 

[Stagger eel]

Mate, he's contracted until 2018...

I can only tell you that we're going to have to work really hard to retain him when the time comes but at the moment he's contracted for the next 2 and a half years so unless the club grant him a release than he's not going anyway soon.

Depends how he is used in the middle, he doesn't need to be a battering ram but use his quick feet and offloading to take advantage of space in the middle. I feel he is wasted out wide and doesn't see enough early ball

Mate, don't tinker with it, he's an edge player and an outstanding one at that but I'm with Pou he's more affective out wide

 

[Obscene Assassin]

He so sees plenty of ball on the left. Putting him in the moddle won't take away from his 10-15 touches per game. He'd probably get less in the middle.

 

[hineyrulz]

Mau would be wasted in the middle, with his speed and footwork he is suited to the edge.

 

[Eelementary]

The old adage, "Never weaken one position to strengthen another" rings true here.

Ma'u is too good to play in the middle, imo.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

In this case I think it is as simple as Ma'u being so much more suited to the edges than the middle.

Ryan James anyone (Stagger answered last time)? I reckon he's a pretty solid unit.

 

[hindy111]

Plenty of good front rowers or ones atleast better then our current ones to get.
All depends how much money we have.

I'm pretty sure people think we should still be offloading players to get under the cap......

Imagine if we managed to sign Hayne before June 30? I'm not suggesting it's a possibility but it would be funny if we did.
