Would you buy a used car from these men?

[Diesel]

This may be a blessing in disguise, I have heard the players are not responding to Mannerings influence on the team at all. I hear Leulaui is the leader and he has really made an impact on the guys the most.

Simon is a average player but well served the club.

Very interesting if true, have you got some good sources close to the club?

 

[Skinner]

Panthers fans are praying it is not true lol

:lol::lol::lol:

 

[JJ]

what's with the antipathy towards Mannering - one of the few consistently good players at the club, and he's blamed for the inconsistency other others???

Leuleuai might well be a better leader, but he is certainly not a better player, and he's been on the field when the Warriors are shit too...

 

[JoeD]

Simon is a average player

Calling Mannering an average player is just plain garbage, he's one of the best we've ever produced.

Its not a blessing in disguise at all if he leaves, I like the sound of Leulaui as captain but we will be losing bucketloads in terms of player quality. If he's gone the Warriors are in big trouble.

On a side note, I've got a nagging feeling that Tomkins isn't gelling here and might be gone sooner rather than later.

 

[Diesel]

Why do you say that about Tomkins?

 

[vvvrulz]

Why do you say that about Tomkins?

Just generally he seems a bit separate to the boys in the field and he mentioned in his column about how tough it is to settle into a new team etc.

The general undercurrent of it is that he hasn't really settled down yet. If this episode really blows up then I reckon he won't have any reason to stay if someone throws him an offer.

Off to the Vodafone Panthers?

I think he is average mate, his stats, his impact, his leadership. But he has given great service.

Question , would you swap Mannering for any of these players

Ben Teo
Wade Graham
Matt Gillett
Jason Taumalolo
Tariq Simms

Answer will be interesting, and don't say they are different types of player, just want to know would you swap if you could for any one of them.

 

[Marty]

I wouldnt swap Simon Mannering for any of those players.

 

[Iron Lion]

I wouldnt swap Simon Mannering for any of those players.

Thanks Simon's Mum but lets wait for others thoughts first

 

[SilentOne]

I would, Wade Graham in a heart beat.

 

[JJ]

ONLY Wade Graham

FFS, Mannering is quality - he's not blockbusting like some, but in terms of 8-0 min high work rate backrowers he's up there with most in the NRL...

Dear ------
There has been much public comment surrounding the club this week. As a valued member it’s important you’re kept updated with the facts.
Â
Tomorrow (Saturday) on Newstalk ZB, club owner Eric Watson and I will be guests on Tony Veitch’s show between 4pm and 5pm. Eric and I will clarify and update the major topics discussed over recent days and will take talkback calls. You can listen on 89.4 FM or via NewstalkZB’s website http://www.newstalkzb.co.nzÂ
Â
After this we have two exclusive Member-only opportunities.

The first will be at Eden Park on Sunday. Dean Bell will join me in the West Stand Members’ Lounge at 1.30pm straight after the New South Wales Cup game. Sir Peter Leitch will MC. Although time will be limited, we’ll answer as many questions as we can.

The second will be a members-only forum at Mount Smart Stadium’s East Lounge from 6.00pm-8.00pm on Tuesday, April 15. Dean and I will have time to discuss matters in more depth.

To attend the forum on Tuesday evening, please RSVP with how many members will be attending by emailing memberships@warriors.co.nz. Tea and coffee will be provided along with some snacks.
Â
Despite the challenges of this week the club is in great shape with many opportunities ahead of us.
Â
I hope to see you at Eden Park or at next Tuesday’s members-only forum.
Â
Kind regards
Â
Wayne Scurrah
Chief Executive
Vodafone Warriors

If we lose Mannering, we are garbage for the next few years at least.

 

[Diesel]

I got that same email Oz, there's no way I can make it but I hope there is A LOT of fans that make it and make it known how disappointed and disgusted we are with how this club/CEO comes out with contradicting stories, such as the entire start to finish career of Elliott at the Warriors, why we have been through 5 coaches in 2 1/2 years, why we are not playing a home game at MS until June, please for my sake (because I've never had an answer) why the membership for overseas fans sucks, I'd really like to have a SEQ or Sydney (or similar) deal for 2-3 away games or something.

 

[Rich102]

They must be expecting some real bad fallout.

 

[Diesel]

You can tell fans are pissed off, memberships (although new to NRL) have been dropping since 2012

 

[ozbash]

They must be expecting some real bad fallout.

its an arse covering exercise "involving" the members. It will be choreographed like the last members forum when we were told what was ok to ask and what wasn't.

Scurrah is a liar.

Rumours coming through Mannering has already signed up for Penrith

Rumours from where?? Too much of this on the forum where someone says something like 'From what I'm hearing, PLAYER might not be here next year...' trying to sound like some totally 'in-the-know' guy. If you can't front up, shut up!

Also, from what I'm hearing from sources close to the club Kevin Locke has signed up to my balls.
