Lol going back 7 years??? Really?? Keary left because Crowe was mean to him and the Storm have been top 4 for a decade.
A convenient reason to go and take unders from Uncle Nick who's never mean to anyone.
How many players have we lost and we still didn’t haven’t even signed our halves or our best young back. You keep making excuses old cobber.
We've struggled to keep teams together for nearly forty years ffs. Time to stop blaming individuals and start looking at structural issues. Even when Brian Smith was head coach, football manager and GM football operations we couldn't keep a team together. Why should market forces be any better for us now?

From what I know Manly knew Foran was fairly broken amd kept it quiet in the best interest of the player. They where never going to sign the bloke.
Manly knew he was broken but Parra, NZ and the Dogs didn't, and kept giving him contracts? And then Manly brought him back to the club. Maybe he wasn't so broken after all, and just had a freak mental health episode. It's not every day you get rissoled by the mother of your kids, but there's no guarantee a bloke is going to shit himself. Crazy how merkins only know everything in hindsight.

Gutho isn’t going anywhere mate not sure why people even bring it up. He is, and always will be first bloke picked by BA for better or worse, he is not going to be let go and most CERTAINLY not tapped on the shoulder.
Has a 58% win rate at our club. We have improved significantly since he became captain.

Might be a coincidence but it's too big to make that assumption.

Says me. If you can infer your conjecture is fact it's good enough for the rest of us....

And FMD - do you mean Ben Roberts in that list of halves that the Storm let go?? One of your best Pou bear....
I just gave you the full list, merkin. If you want to focus on Roberts instead of the rest of them it shows you concede my point. They signed Roberts because they couldn't afford to keep Widdop. QED ffs

Then you haven't been watching him play, plain and simple. He has a complete gash. He is Ben Roberts like. You know Ben Roberts right??
He was poor in 2022 but so was his team. In 2021 (and 2019) he was very good. 2020 he was plagued by injury. Next year anything is possible. I'm keen to see how Papali'i goes in their team.

If eight other teams missed the eight it would mean the Tigers didn’t. If it was only seven then Wests were the eighth. It’s not f**ken hard.
But what was the actualy point you were trying to make....? From "they don't care if eight other teams miss the finals" - given we've established that will be out of date for next year's 17 team season, and it's impossible from next season for only seven other teams to miss the finals.
You need to stop assuming I’m the problem when you don’t understand. I’m not your special needs teacher. I do this shit for free.
I'm not assuming your the problem... just questioning your logic when it isn't clearly expressed as you think, or is simply opinion presented as if indisputable fact.

Smith would be better defensively and on about 10% of the salary. Brooks is poison, he’s a gutless little merkin and I’d be f**king him off ASAP. I’m hardly surprised you’re in his corner. Poups the Saint of lost causes.

A brooks and Jakey halves pairing would have you blowing triple ropers in world record time.
