I suppose you've never been wrong about anything have you? I would scour your post history looking for a time you were wrong, but I'm not an obsessive merkin.
I didn’t have to search through any of your posts, I remembered how insistent you were and sooked when anyone didn’t agree with you.

It’s quite a theme with you.

Which prop currently in our 1st grade squad would you trade him for?
From reports, including from Manly, that's what he wanted. Good on him but he's not likely worth more than the development contract he's supposedly received
I read that Kepie isnt part of Manlys top 30. Lets just see how he goes. I liked what I saw in him.

That's what I wrote, but Manly fans have even said he left because he wanted top 30 spot and we didn't want to offer him one. So likely either we didn't offer him any contract (we still have 3 development and 2 top 30 spots open - perhaps we said we would but wouldn't in a timeframe acceptable to him), us and Manly offered him a development contract (what he is probably worth) and he reviewed the rosters and thought he'd have more opportunity at Manly, or we offered him a contract and he's gone off in a huff and found any other team bar us.
I reckon he's more in the possible pile than the probable group. Although the requirement to leave possibly makes him more likely to succeed. Shows some mental fortitude at least to leave the comfort of the club you know

My understanding is Manly offered him a contract and said because of their cap problems it may not be there again if he went away and thought about it so he signed it. By the time he thought about it and had a change of heart Parramatta had moved on with their plans and Manly wouldn't budge in any case

I have no idea why no one has introduced at least a novelty show of some sort of multiball, multi competitors sport. Then we can build that up to a professional league

Because merkins would death-ride it calling it a "mickey-mouse" comp. I reckon it has merit. Could even evolve into multiple sports in a decade or so.

A multiball, multisports, multicompetitor spectacle. Where your competition is actually lining up in a different sport!! Imagine Shaun Darsh clanging one back onto his stumps as he tries to stop a rampaging Jason Taumololololololo crashing over the line?

Actually, I was asking Gazza for a source as to how we will see how Keppie goes... but you were close.
:)
Well maybe not next season as its worked out but eventually we will know. I saw him a number of times in the 20s and he impressed me. That said, I'm easilly impressed. Keppie's a keeper I reckon. Regretably I thought the guy (5/8) with the fake calf injury was a keeper as well.
