Why do you think they picked Lane to represent the seamen and seawomen of the HMAS Parramatta? You reckon its the moustache?

2021 jersey commemorated 100 years of the RAAF.

Yeah, I was pretty sure we had an Airforce one.

Nothing will beat this manly jersey.

Knights usually save this one for Tigers games...

Cause he has one eyebro
U r racist

No it’s because he has a Nike bumbag.

 

[Gronk]

He is from the South Sea island. What cause he is coloured he is indigenous? This is extreme racism.

Isn’t he from Thursday Island ?

 

[Tiger5150]

Isn’t he from Thursday Island ?

He is from Bundaberg, his dad's heritage is from Vanuatu

There you go. Sorry Mal, I think I got your heritage confused with Sam Thaiday.

I thought he was indigenous but his father is described as South Sea Islander, so not Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander

We were playing fine til we lost our half-back. We just don't have good enough cover there or in the backs.

It's just such a shame that there aren't people at the club with the responsibility to build a 30-man roster to provide some form of depth...

I realise that losing our first-string halfback is a burden we don't need, and puts a lot of pressure on the team.

However, it doesn't excuse Arthur's selections, his puzzling tactics, or his bizarre use of our bench.

Who would you have picked in the first match post-Moses injury?

Lomax Parra pay cut could open 'Pandora's Box'

'Might be getting paid somewhere else'

This is nothing story as his market value is what a buyer is willing to pay from a willing seller isn't it? Schuster, reportedly on $800k, is on the outer at Manly. What is his market value? Probably not more than $250-300k, certainly not what Manly are paying him. Roosters and Broncos have been underpaying for years so MV apparently doesn't apply to them as nobody questions them - only us it appears.

Its probabaly better to provide a source rather than throw darts

If there are no viable back-ups at the club, that would constitute a failure in recruitment, and roster-building, in my eyes.

I felt like Blaize was worth a punt for a couple of weeks in the role.

Gives him valuable experience and something to go back and learn what it takes to play grade with that small taste. Short-term pain for long term gain.

BA pulling him out now is the right call 3 games in before his confidence could completely be shot if he stayed the whole 8 weeks.

Its easier going back to Asi now then starting with Asi and realising oh shit now we have to go to a 18 year old kid.

If we won the Tigers game the whole situation where in wouldn't be as bad.

And probably where we expected to be once Moses was ruled out. 3-2 after 5 would be acceptable.

 

[eels_fan]

Happy for Blaize to get experience in firsts at centre.

BA came out and said he’s either a centre or fullback so why on earth would we throw him into a position our head coach knows is not his future spot, in a high pressure role? Makes zero sense.

it’s not like a centre slotting in on the wing.

BA should have gone with Asi at 7 as soon as they started pre season training if he was never going to give Sanders a shot.

Now we don't have a backup 7 that has trained in that position or even played there at the start of the season.

It should have been from the Tigers game.

Fair enough hypothetically if Blaize didnt play the Manly game does he play the following week against the tigers game at 5/8.

BA and the club might have been caught in the excitement of keeping him in the team.

He played like a fullback in attack. Third in precedence of our playmakers. In defence he was one in from centre. He at least has experience defending there.
