    Can Taukeiaho & Tevaga add that "Brown" impact ?

    Nathan Brown made impact in his first few games for us, but as the grind kicked in, he became less effective and regularly started to get smashed - which I put down to age / player type / weight etc. I think we'll see a solid start, with both fading and/or getting injured like Brown.

    Unless he's already signed with The Cowboys like I suspect. Remember how Siebold treated Humphrey's after he signed with The Bunnies.

    The game has moved on from me and a lot of people from my generation

    Gift, Snake and Alberts came down and had a game of touch footy with us and a BBQ on their own time, and I found Gift to be amazing, always pulling his little brother into line haha. I get The Trbojevics commit and invest time into Mona Vale Raiders. But this was something else. NBQ talking...

    I just miss the "characters" mate, you know. Throwing some names out there: Merv Hughes. David Boon. Viv Richards. Dermet Brereton. Warwick Capper. Wolfman Williams. Beaver Menzies. Pat Cash. Super Brat. Kostya Tszu etc etc etc. Just feel this generation of kids have very little flavour...

    Thanks mate. Guess I'm old school, where people, families, livelihoods, loyalty etc all still matter and are important. I really feel workers rights are diminished these days. I also think HR as an industry has become so pathetic & entitled. Problem is the job market. Abundant supply for so...

    Very interesting. I wonder though under what circumstances you'd give away a possible additional set of 6? I'd say when your defensive line is getting exposed for example. Wouldn't it be more prudent to coach a team to stop allowing the exposure in the first place? Then again, we definitely...

    Absolutely not. I believe we may lose him to the Cowboys, hence my attention to the matter now.

    I'm guessing - Paseka, Olakau'atu, Jake before him?

    The Silvertail's optimism pulse 2025.

    Taukeiaho, wanted half a million bucks to play this season (which every club refused), and apparently Manly offered $400k. Is that honestly a budget buy for a player people are hoping plays 10-15 games? I think it's pretty good coin.

    @Smokin Joe , hey mate, would love to hear in your educated & knowledgeable view, who as of right now, is DCE's succession plan at the club?

    You're making excuses mate. 27 combined infringements (giving a fresh 6 again) or outright penalty, for one player, in 24 games isn't acceptable. Unfortunately, Jake can't magically speed up, so his clearing of the ruck is probably the best he can do, with the attributes he has. Lots of plus...

    Don't buy it @manlyfan76 - they shafted him in my view.

    Makes the most of his minutes (should get way more) Readily available (not suspended, injured or refuses to play) Youngish (24) Now an Australian rep quality player (PM's XIII) Can score a try for a prop Fantastic leg speed Consistent defense (95.07% tackle efficiency) Articulate, professional...

    Still waiting for Bullemor to be extended. Easily our second best forward after Olakau'atu

    I'm sorry, but how do you legally make a role redundant, then replace the position immediately? Wouldn't that be a case for unfair dismissal ?

    Leo Thompson would have been an awesome get. Young, bustling, international already.

    All makes sense mate. I will say there were some very high end forwards that moved clubs though. Ones that make a huge difference: Addin Fonua-Blake James Fisher Harris and many others. That guy from The Tigers joining The Storm (forget his name). From the outside looking in, whether it being...

    Even my reply was meant to lighten the mood and make you laugh mate. Looks like my comedy is like a botched vasectomy with a blunt scalpel. I think I need to use emojis more, now that I have glasses, I can tell the difference in them haha.

    How does that relate to us though? We comparing ourselves to The Tigers? That is the so left field, unnecessary comparison I don't know where to begin. We need to break into the top 4, and become contenders. Can we compare to Panthers, Storm or someone else please? We need a better mix of...
