Rumours and Stuff

[Gazzamatta]

When was that ? A forced changed or a brain fart ?

Lets just say it appeared a failed experiment.

The thoughts from these Manly fans on Reddit do not fill me with confidence:

They have Schuster who is on 800k and is going to be in the second row next year they should be pissed off that

 

[TheRam]

Well 300k for Crossland who isn't a starting hooker is a good price.

Mate I think he is already on $450K at the Knights.

I'm pretty sure they are.

Probably why they are happy to let another one of their poor defending backrowers leave the club and free up some money.

Ouch!

The TCT have given the tick of approval so that's good enough for me.

a little context into the "Was excellent at the Tigers".

Had a good debut and for a young guy looked good in his first handful of games.....for a kid. He does run the ball hard, at times, when he feels like it and that looks good in a young kid starting his career. He signed with Manly only 3 or 4 games after debuting with the Tigers and I (like most tigers fans) was devastated that we let a young guy with so much promise go.

He then had a whole season for the Tigers and I (like most Tigers fans) were happy to pack his bags. Interestingly and tellingly the exact same thing has happened at Manly. He has potential but looks lazy. He looks lazy on the field and looks like he is lazy off the field as well. His defence is barely reggies level. I was happy when he left Tigers but nervous that Manly would untap that potential....but nah.

I know that there is a lot of polishing goes on here though. Its going to take a lot of polishing. You guys love a good polish.

 

[T.S Quint]

Ouch!

Well, BA turned Moses and Cartwright into relatively ok defenders.
Maybe he can do the same with this bloke.

Not to be too rude but he has been in 2 pretty shit development systems in his time...

Maybe going to a club that has a clue will help him next year..

 

[T.S Quint]

Really, the last thing we need in our team is another lazy defender.
If we can get a couple of workhorses that run around the park, cleaning up the work left by others by tackling themselves to a standstill, then that will go a long way to improving our record next year.

Until our defence is fixed, I can't see us winning a premiership.

 

[JokerEel]

I'm pretty sure they are.

Well, their other back rower isn't very good in defense either. Lets hope a wooden spoon is on the cards next year for them!

Stop talking sense! who needs defense!

We seem to have some success improving an individuals D however when it comes to Team D? Well thats another thing altogether.

1. I haven't seen him play much so I will reserve judgement
2. His tackle efficiency this year was 89.46% - for comparison Olakuatu was 90.9%. Cartwright 91.07% Ice 93.17% Katoa 91.68% Kikau 87.97% Nanai 86.5%
3. This is probably more about Schuster having to be played at 2nd roe now as he has no spot in the halves any more and who is going to take him off Manly's hands at 800k a year.
4. Would he play on Brown's side or Moses?

Watch the highlights of Manly V Wahs on the NRL website He shoots out a few times and probably is the cause of 2 tries...

 

[King-Gutho94]

I would love to have seen the reactions here when we first announced Ice from the Wahs! ..

New signings are just like apprentices on here.

Until you prove your worth they are just shit.

If you want to see the reactions for Ice well Zero tackle says he signed on October 21, 2020 with us. And i checked on random pages to try and find that time frame in this thread to break it down if you go to page 4926 on this thread.

That's around when his signing was announced.

You wont meet a more 1 eyed eel fan then those TCT lads.

Good blokes and all but very unicorny they could talk positively if we signed up a dog turd.

Jirah Momoisea was supposedly the next big thing last pre-season he ended up playing like a Ron Massey cup level player.

Well, I'm hoping for another Dogs spoon...but I'll be ok with a Manly one.
Just as long as the Dogs still finish down the bottom.

If his attack is as good as those guys then we my be able to overlook his defence a bit more.

 

[the phantom menace]

But they broke away from that online forum, and started their own website...

Yeah, I know - just couldn't resist.

If Seibold wins Manly's first ever wooden spoon after nearly 80 years and he is coach like he won one at the Broncos.

I might start a petition for Seibs to be an Immortal. Or at least a statue built outside Red Hill & Brookvale.

The bloke would be a living legend.
