Rumours and Stuff

Disagree, Manly had years of loyal service out of Matai and Stewart.
Sounds like Watmough fooled parra to sign his stinky deal and NRL knew it. Baited us and wouldnt be shocked if him and Manly knew the game they played to make it seem like they wanted him still.

Arthur knew he had pre-existing dodgy knees. Hell, the whole world knew.

And yet he was able to medically retire.

Now, Stewart and Matai are in a similar boat, and Manly are told to take a long walk off a short pier?

I dislike Manly, but they have every right to feel angry, tbh.

As opposed to us signing a fit watmough
When we signed Watmough (2014) he had played 123 games in the previous five years. When Stewart re-signed (2015) he had only played 83 in the previous five. Matai (also re-signed in 2015) had played 113 games in the previous five years.

I expect Matai's to get approved, but Stewart only played six games during 2009-2010. That's a significant pre-existing injury. The fewest number of games Watmough ever played since his rookie season was 17 games in 2015. The next fewest was 19 in 2005. Every experienced player carries niggling injuries, but very few players are so badly injured they miss almost entire seasons. Stewart missed almost two whole seasons back-to-back.

Butter, bacon, peas, onion and garlic..... in the fry pan. You guys haven't a clue between the three of you.

If you have only eaten the little f**kers boiled I can understand.

Actually, if I'm being honest, I don't mind them - but that recipe sounds delicious!

Now tofu, though - I find it bland, and without flavour.

Roasted with garlic, pancetta, olive oil.
Sliced thin in a stir fry

My favourite isn't very healthy, but awesome. Deep fried til crispy, tossed with thick soy, chilli paste, sesame seeds and a little sesame oil. Wicked

Ma po tofu...stir fried with hot chilli bean paste and other stuff, sometimes with chicken. One of the great dishes of China tbh.

Golden tofu.... (deep fried) with peanut sauce. Our local Thai restaurant does a great job. Has to be cooked with flavour.... it is bland as f**k.

I'll try that out.

In my experience, I've never had a palatable tofu dish.

They've never made me violently ill, or convulse in disgust, but I've never had a tofu dish that made me think, "That was good - I'd eat that again."
