    The Book of Albert

    He’s eighteen FFS! Never played against men. He’s around the first team at that age, in the top 30 never having played against grown adults. I think these ‘rumours’ are a crock... he was on record saying how pleased he was to sign two years with Manly what, five months ago?

    The Book of Albert

    Rorters apparently won’t let Farmoresilly (sic) play against his own team later in season, despite being on loan the whole year to Warriors.

    Tyrone May

    Then Schuster might walk. Not a risk I’d be willing to take personally.

    The Book of Albert

    What’s that based on though? Him running against 17 year olds?

    Lussick released!

    On Lussick - he didn’t do much in that final season, other than rushing at someone I’d defence and always missing them with a big hit...almost like he didn’t actually want to hit them but felt it was his job to intimidate. Which he didn’t do, cos...he wouldn’t put his body on the line!

    Lussick released!

    Yes I agree - he definitely still has the goods... no better five eighth in the business. But you know... six games per season doesn’t cut it.

    Bring Seibold back home!!!

    Apparently their style of play is unique. They empower people to throw the ball around, very fluid positions, run where you want in attack, never let the ball or the opposition rest. Having said that, they do keep getting knocked back for main coaching roles... possibly cos they’re the Walker...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Knights v Manly [Round 14, 2020]

    Word. I’ll watch any game right to the bitter end, even if we are down by 40 - just in the hope of seeing a glimmer of promise, or a new player make a small mark on the game. All teams go through hard times occasionally, even champion sides like us. Gotta take it on the chin. CRaig Field days...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Knights v Manly [Round 14, 2020]

    True enough! I do wish we’d take a punt occasionally, but there is the big hurdle about no lower or younger grades playing. I’d hazard a guess that the young guys have been told they’re unlikely to play for us, or any team, until they can get a few games under their respective belts, and not be...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Knights v Manly [Round 14, 2020]

    Fairly big holes in that logic...” doubt they’re not putting in”... How do we know that? The coach is with them, and the whole group, plodders and all, for about 40 hours per week. He sees a hundred times more than the rest of us do. He sees attitude, he sees skill, he sees decision-making, he...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Knights v Manly [Round 14, 2020]

    You’re right...and we actually did achieve that last week, were the better side in the second half. Suddenly flicked the switch, but too late...

    Ah great - I hadn’t noticed that. Now I’ve got something else to worry about...

    AFB could be gone for while

    Didn’t Garner try to sue us a few years back, as he was offered a minimum contract on a handshake deal, then got cut when that fine judge of horse flesh, T Baz came in? Doubt he’d be super keen to appear in the maroon n white again after that...

    The Positives and the Negatives

    Loved a couple of those big, hard runs that Boyle came up with in the last 15. Should have been in the field longer IMO.

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Warriors [Round 13, 2020]

    I'd have Boyle and Hopoate in, I reckon... Actually there must be a fair chance of Ola'kauatu getting a run too, if Sirro is injured.

    Keppie

    I’d suggest he’s not playing cos he missed three quarters of last season, and hasn’t been able to play his way back in via reserves. He’s also on the larger side so may be inclined to weight gain... Des would be having none of that if he’s a few kegs over.

    Walker back soon?

    Yep. That’s about right. But the question remains, what do we do with Walker? Being honest, he’s one of two genuine game-breakers in our back line, the rest being admirable foot soldiers struggling manfully for the cause... him and Turbo are capable of hitting a hole and going all the way...

    Walker back soon?

    Hey... I’m allowed to post things whilst intoxicated...

    Walker back soon?

    He’s six foot three, and 100kg. Not small!
