Rumours and Stuff

Cordner will free about 5 million on the Chooks cap.

Sippy cup Cordner going Will only strengthen the Goosters,one most of the most overrated players of the modern era.

I know the sun doesn't really go anywhere (it just keeps circling round the earth) - but it does appear to go away on a gloomy and rainy day.

Your also a flat earth advocate I assume.
Edit: Contrary to the Catholic Church edict several hundred years ago and despite making Galileo agree with them, the earth actually goes around the sun! Weird eh!

Disagree. Great player and a good guy

Agreed. And it will be sad to see Wade Graham go the same way but better safe than sorry.

Yeah Timmy got 100 games too many.

Its embarrassing that he went past sterlo for first grade games played for this club.

although Mannah was not the best of players especially toward the end of his career and I was one of his critics. I think saying that it was ”embarrassing” that he went past Sterlo’s record is very harsh. Playing league is a tough to get that many games in first grade.. well he must of done something right.

He was the last of the won nothing loser generation. Towards the end he really stunk up the place and when I see pictures of him in promotional videos with some of our greatest players I cringe.

He was an above average first grade who was lucky he played in a very strong side for most of his career. The Roosters Josh Jackson, NSW are really going to miss his 4m hit ups out wide.

But he does seem like a top bloke though.

Mannah had 5 good years. The game just passed him. He was NRL level but not a front line prop. He did a job. Problem was his last 3 yrs where ordinary and that's what gets remembered

The fact that Sterlo could have played more games but was cut short due to injury makes it less embarrassing.

 

[Gronk]

He'll get plenty more than $200k

He offered to stay at the Sharks for $180k and they knocked him back.

Mannah was a reverse of most props. Burst onto scene as a youngster, then when most props hit their prime he was cactus

According to news papers. It does make a good story.
Fact is most clubs would knock door down to sign Wood at 200k. I reckon he is asking 400k

His defence kept him in first grade. His attack withered away with his hairline

Playing in losing games (especially big games) has value for player development, but as a measure of quality only wins really count. #WPYSA18

No chance.

I would pass on Woods, develop Wiremu and buy another fringe up and coming backrower.
We have RCG, Jnr, Lane, Kaufusi, Nuikore, Nrown, Wiremu, Hollis as middles. Papali'i too. I would like another backrower similar style to Garner or Harawira Naera. Matt Doorey ex Parra now at the Dogs would be a good get. I know he has extended til end of 2022 but would be making enquiries.
Getting Woods would be like getting the likeable Alvaro back. No thanks.

 

[hindy111]

I do not see Emu getting to Woods level.
But I also do not see how Woods improves us a whole lot if we are fully fit. We are best looking for cheap project players or guys needing a chance. Low risk and high reward types like Bryce.

Even in his final season, his stats were really quite good.

I don't get the Mannah hate, tbh.

He was a more than solid player.
