Tony Williams...high risk investment

[Patorick]

the 600k figures being thrown around are pure media dribble ! No ceo would pay 600k for a player especially not a jewish one! :sarcasm:

Seriously though i doubt he will be on the reported figures...

Also anyone bagging out pritchard this season clearly has not watched any of our games, he, halatau, barba, reynolds and keating are all reborn players under des.

550?

 

[Moffo]

530k

 

[Bulldog Force]

Guys he won't even be on 400k!

It will be interesting to see what Des does next year with the backrow with Pritchard, Williams, Eastwood, Payne, Tapau, Finucane, Halatau and/or Stagg. Pritchard, Williams, Eastwood, Halatau/Stagg will all be in the 17. I can see Des having Graham and 3 2nd rowers on the bench. Graham and Tolman will play big minutes each next year with the rest of the bench rotating regularly throughout the game.

If Keating isn't re-signed, which I think he won't be, they will have the cheapest halves pairing in the competition by far I would imagine

Halatau is on the outer now that we have Tony Williams. It was a case of 'one or the other' so really, Halatau will more than likely have to look elsewhere unless he's willing to take a paycut. As for Keating, he's only playing first grade because we're waiting for Hokko to regain his match fitness. We did a lose a game this year until he got injured. Looks like our halves combo for next year will be Reynolds/Hokko, and Romelo as a utility.

Has anyone here ever strongly refuted a purchase that their club made?

Sharks fans still bitch about Kimmorley.

 

[firechild]

As do Manly fans. Kimmorley was the most overrated, overpaid player in the game during his season at Brookie. Thank christ it was only 1 season.

Manly fans love Kimmorley. His massive pay cheque and terrible performances helped confine the Northern Eagles to history.

 

[firechild]

Retrospectively that may be the case but when repating to on-field success, Kimmorley was the worst thing to ever happen to Manly (Scott Fulton comes in 2nd).

 

[ANTiLAG]

Like anyone sheds a tear for Manly. That year the Bears could have had JT who was ripping it up for Parra. F*ck Manly, bring back the Bears.

oooh Scott Fulton in first grade oooh, so you know how NSW fans feel about Manly players in the Origin team like its a bump to their club salary.

The thing is Pritchard and T-Rex can both be devastating in attack but while they can both pull off massive hits, they are not know for making lots of tackles. IIRC T-Rex makes about 1/3 the number of tackles compared to Glenn Stewart (left side v right side) and obviously neither come close to Watmough in the middle. Conversely Matai makes plenty of tackles compared to Lyon despite Lyon being a noted defender. T-Rex needs to be inside a centre that is prepared to (and capable of) making lots of tackles.

maybe they're scared to run at him ?

If that idea makes you sleep better at night, you stick with it.

Well he never played for Manly, so Superleague can stay number 1, with Scott Fulton a very close 2nd.

 

[MuTT]

I'll be sleeping fine mate , now that T-Rex is a K9.

He never played for Manly but he played for the club in which Manly held the NRL license. Saying he didn't is like saying Beaver or Toovey weren't 1 club players.

Ohh someone's a bit sad and bitter that Manly's successful and their team blows. Why don't you ask Mummy for a hug? She'll give you a kiss on the forehead, tell you everything's alright and that one day big bad Manly will lose to whatever bog ordinary side you support in a Grand Final.

Des must be taking coaching tips from Sticky, trying to stock up on back rowers.

 

[woodyk2]

Love sooks sooking about Manly.

Settle down peninsula princesses , you vag will stop bleeding soon, but it will start again in about a month, you's should be used to it.

They went great for Norths and Manly

 

[firechild]

Neither played for a club where North Sydney held the license. On your bike farkwit.
