    Game Day: Manly v Titans [Round 19, 2020]

    The titans have basically crossed our line ten times already in 50 mins.

    Game Day: Manly v Titans [Round 19, 2020]

    We were lucky to beat them, and we were full strength.

    [Resurrected] SACK Des Hasler!!

    But we will never compete with Croker and Levi as our creative threat. They are weak as piss.

    [Resurrected] SACK Des Hasler!!

    The game has passed Des by. Was never the right call bringing him back into the fold.

    Do we let Taupau go?

    Well obviously. AFB going has solved the issue of this thread.

    Playing Turbo this week is absolutely mental

    Because it's the Manly training staff, not the Manchester United training staff.

    Playing Turbo this week is absolutely mental

    You are more likely to get injured during Origin than in a regular NRL match. That's not even a debate. I get what you're saying RE: 2nd string side being trotted out but the season is toast, imagine the backlash that is coming if he tears an ACL playing Origin this year and is out for the 2021...

    Oh yeah, it's nothing to do with the $90,000 for playing 3 games of Origin. Nothing.

    Playing Turbo this week is absolutely mental

    Interesting perspective on the state of mind aspect. Perhaps the club see it as two fairly easy matches with little to play for. A good test of the hammy I guess. The cynic in me says it's more to do with Origin though.

    Playing Turbo this week is absolutely mental

    Oh that old chestnut. Professional sports stars are paid to be part of an organisation. Playing is part of it. Training is also 90% of it, media responsibilities, charity responsibilities, appearances, etc etc In no way do professional sports stars equate to normal 9-5 workers. The employer...

    Because if he goes down during Origin and out for 6 months or longer then we'll revisit this discussion. US sports are far more professional with how they deal with issues like this. NRL clubs showing zero brains, as per usual.

    Someone explain this one to me other than giving him a game so he can get picked for Origin. Absolutely ****ing crazy from a club perspective.

    Fainu Turbo Walker Thompson Suli Not sure we could count any others as first graders. Taufua and Garrick being out has actually improved us.

    Funa is looking better and better with every passing game. Definitely a find and has locked down a place in our starting Lineup for 2021.

    Christ our standards have slipped. When I saw the Dogs were on 4 points I assumed it was from two byes.

    The Take on Jake

    Jake is 100% not the problem. He should be our captain tbh. Is he slightly overpaid? Probably. Would he have got that money elsewhere? Definitely. Did we pay overs to hold onto his brother and keep them together? Yep. Should management have done that? Definitely. When we win a comp or 2 with...

    Do we let Taupau go?

    I wasn't implying that at all. Please re-read what I wrote. manlyfan76 attributed our almost getting the spoon to Trent wanting to get rid of Marty. As if there were no other contributing factors??

    Do we let Taupau go?

    I agree Marty is a gun, I am firm of the belief that Walker should be moved on as a priority. My concern is the cap hold against Marty/AFB/Jake is huge. What sort of money are those centres on? Am genuinely curious. I would have thought Harper was minimum. I know Suli is reportedly on $550,000...

    Do we let Taupau go?

    We aren't that far off the spoon this year. Marty has played all season. We are much closer to the spoon than the top 4, that's for sure.

    Do we let Taupau go?

    You do when the playing field isn't even. The best Manly teams of the last 20 years have had their cap evenly spread amongst a core group of around 10 players. Teams with 4-5 players on big money and the rest on peanuts rarely win comps. If you are going to build an extremely top-heavy roster...
