Rumours and Stuff

[84 Baby]

Exactly. Every run made by a centre is one less made by other runners in the team. There's only so much ball to go around.

Until Vlandys introduces the multi-ball rule!

In hindsight, we shouldn’t jump at shadows after losing a fringe first grader in Dunster (although we all believe he’d become a 1st grader) and a winger at that.

As everyone has said, we can fill with a Opa or Russell who essentially just need to make their tackles, catch the high balls and finish off backline movements.

Waqa and Co will need to step up perhaps to assist rucking it out but they would have anyway with a rookie winger over the course of a game.

The positive is we have a good and very settled halves and spine healthy and ready to go. Sivo will likely be a welcome edition back but we have a great forward pack and settled spine.

Having a fill in wing for a couple months will NOT be an excuse. Oh… and who knows we may just uncover a star?!

To be fair Naiduki and Komolafe are not anywhere near 1st grade yet.
Russell and Loizou would be in front of them and I'm not a fan of playing Waqa on the wing as left centre is his spot and he was fantastic when he was moved there.
I watched the manly tigers trial and manly have about 6 wingers including Saab and Garrick who look the goods. This Vega character who scored a hat trick is on a train and trial contract was super impressive. They also had a Tupoulitou and the young tearaway Koula I think his name is. They all showed intent and hunger.
We do need another winger.
I think Perham could also do a job there if need be.

I have mentioned this kid a few times on here. He will be a gun and was a player I wish we poached. Won't get the chance to now once he starts playing NRL. Speed, speed, speed and class.

He already re signed with Manly till end of 2024 a few weeks ago. We may have tried to get him, who knows. He's been with Manly since he was 14.

He can carpool with gutho

The Inuit word for crisis is the same as their word for opportunity. Meanwhile the silly merkins have 13 different words for snow.

Dunster ceiling isn't that high. At best he could be an average NRL winger. Russel might even offer more imo.
If we landed Oates or Issako I'd say we are stronger.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

At his best, Corey Oates' go forward is almost as good as To'o's

Shame he has dicks for hands otherwise he would be an elite winger.

Well, he'll be paying royalties to me if he does!

Manly have some gun juniors, they wont be able to keep them all

Is it 'flipping burgers'?

Doesn't really matter. No one else can understand them. I never can. Merkins.

With all due respect but how the f**k do you speak with such authority on a young kid who’s played half a season?

Of course we may be stronger with one of two established NRL players for that position straight away but unless you have a crystal ball then you really have nowhere near the certainty in which you spew. Give the kid a chance FFS.

who is making the best points?

Their Centre Of Excellence must be really excellent.

It was obviously his opinion. Merkins shouldn't have to start every post with "IMO..."

Not to mention the Tele have already released a story saying he’s going nowhere, with quotes from Walters.
