I know you have fooled some gullible people into believing you just have a different opinion, but the reality is you are deliberately disingenuous and you are only here to piss off parra fans - luckily most sensible people know you are a malicious troll

"Most sensible people" are nowhere near this forum you f**ken clown.

It’s irrelevant even if he did. Who cares? Nobody would act like they do here in person. Everyone here seems to grow a set of fake balls. Pou has virtual elephantiasis of his.

Funnily enough, most of the posters that I have met in person act pretty much the same as they do on here.

Back in footy. Both Talaki and Alamotti are both available for next season.

I think both players significantly improve us. I think both players are achievable gets. I think both are not on stupid money.

Talaki would be a good bench forward.

I’d read somewhere he is surplus to requirements and would be free to go if he got a deal. No idea where or when now. Either way free for 27.

Trying to find the right price for these guys would be a challenge. Both good attacking players but poor defenders. You can make that work for a fullback, half or prop, but not for most positions. This is why they would be available. Probably any club would take them at the right price, but how much is that?

Both for $500K each would be enough.

Just a question, do you know me in real life or something and have an issue?

You seem to make it a quest to include me in posts on subjects I have not been involved in and are not really anything of concern to me.

If you are aware of who I am in real life, I would appreciate if you could identify yourself, rather than target me on a forum.

Was it the giggling schoolgirl part that makes you think he knows you?

If Burton becomes available which he will we should have a look. Dogs know Galvin's a 6 and he is going to stay there. Crighton and Xerri in centres. Plus it frees up 800k.
Id happily pay that and play him 5/8. Down the track you could turn him into a Walker style lock or even centre.

Burton needs to fix that knee of his. He has had it strapped longer than Ray Price.

SHOOSH​

There is much happening behind the scenes at Manly. We’re hearing assistant coach Steven Hales is off to Newcastle and that departing Knights coach Adam O’Brien will replace him at Brookvale.
Manly chairman Scott Penn has gone out of his way to support coach Anthony Seibold, despite the Sea Eagles missing out on the top eight – and that remains the case.
Seibold has two years to run on his contract … and this is where it gets interesting. I keep hearing the name Willie Peters getting mentioned as a possible successor, not O’Brien.
The Peters mail is very strong, although there is another whisper that there is also interest from the Rabbitohs as a replacement for Wayne Bennett.

The AFL is now considering having a footy-free weekend in the lead-up to their grand final. It is to ensure players don’t miss the biggest game of the year with a category one concussion from the qualifying final. Geelong star Tom Stewart is out of next weekend’s decider after being heavily concussed against Hawthorn on Friday night at the MCG under the AFL’s 11-day stand down policy.

Phil ‘Buzz’ Rothfield: Canterbury’s year of self-destruction detonates with whimpering finals exit​

Canterbury’s dramatic fall from premiership contenders to finals failures can be traced to a series of bewildering team changes. Phil Rothfield exposes the decisions that destroyed the Bulldogs’ premiership campaign.

Canterbury’s 2025 season will be remembered as the year of self-destruction.
A footy club that was almost coasting on top of the ladder mid-season to a team that capitulated in diabolical circumstances and bombed out of the finals race in straight sets.
O.M.G. What an unmitigated disaster from a team that had genuine premiership hopes mid-year to being whacked 46-26 by the Panthers.
Just one win from their last six outings (against Penrith’s NSW Cup team).
A team that was on top of the ladder at Round 12 while Penrith was on the bottom.
So where do we start to unpack this story?

The Dogs went with halfback Toby Sexton for 19 rounds to surge into title contention. Then they sacked him and brought Lachlan Galvin in.
Then Reed Mahoney got shafted for Bailey Hayward. Then Sexton was brought back. Then Matt Burton went to the centres. Then Mahoney was brought back and Hayward demoted.
Such unnecessary spinal surgery on finals eve went horribly wrong. Talk about confusion. Talk about a team lacking in cohesion and confidence. A totally butchered finals campaign.
Their handling of Galvin since his mid-year signing from the Wests Tigers has been poor and regrettable. He is not a halfback.
That was proven on Sunday with a stylish performance in the six jersey where he could play his natural game without the added responsibility of running the side. There were some touches of class with his short passes to Jacob Preston on the right edge.

As much as he’s got talent and potential, the 20-year-old was never ready to be chief playmaker.
Not under the pressure of Gus Gould labelling him the best youngster he’s ever seen and in doing so building fake hope.
No doubt about it he’ll be a better and more confident player next year for the experience.
Coach Cameron Ciraldo has been billed as rugby league’s next super coach. I’m not saying that won’t happen. But he has learned some valuable lessons. That you don’t scratch where it doesn’t itch: ie never change a winning formula just for the sake of it.
It will come back to haunt you.

Seeing Carter Gordons name pop up. Can pass, kick, fast. Can play 5/8 or centre. Back from long term injury.
