To the Players its a commercial reality, to the Manly Fans its an emotional reality.

I wish the best to all those who leave Manly this year :angel:
(But T-ex, the Sloth, could not leave fast enough for me :mad:)

Lets hope that Gorgeous goes all out to impress in the Finals in 2013 :)

Will they call him Mel-Rose :p
 
Have loved watching Wolf,Kite, Joe and George over the years and they have given wonderful service to Manly but in reality we've got a new generation we need to blood now. Hiku, Gutherson,Sao, Trbojevic, Chee Kam are the next generation and they will be ready for first grade in the next year or 2. We have spent most of our cap on Snake,Killer,Matai,Foz,DCE,Gift,Ballin,King and Choc there isn't much left for top liners plus they are in their final contracts as well. We need new blood to learn the culture from these legends and what it means to play for Manly.
 
With all those souvlakia in Melbourne do you recon they will find a jersey to fit big George? I wish him all the best all the same...
 
How many games did he play this year?

I just have a feeling that injury will plague him and he'll be one of those players to fade off into the sunset.

I find it laughable that people include him in the generation of next stars when i'm not even sure he's played for us yet.

Yep, there's been plenty of boom youngsters that were made out to be the next big thing that never quite made it. It took a while for Gifty to bulk up and be comfortable playing at that weight and I reckon MCK needs a few years too but he can only do that if he stays injury free which is his problem at the moment. Our recruiters obviously saw something in him but they don't get them all right.
As for Wolf, unless he's being unreasonable with asking price, I'd be doing what I can to keep him, he's shown what he can do when he's injury free and 2013 has been his best in my opinion.
 
Anyone know who the lurker on sportal is? Every week he is talking about DCE to the donkeys. Given his form this year he would be worth more than what we are paying him. Plus his snake charming mate is going there.

A blokes got to make a quid. George wanted to stay, he did'nt sneak off like a thief in the night.
I too wish him well.

Chee Kam was a real gun in the 20's and he's plenty big, don't worry about that. With a solid off-season (which he couldn't get this year) I hope he can get over his injuries, because if so you will find out why his signing was a real coup for us.

Potentially he's a more damaging back-rower than Horo and Symonds. He is in the Papalii mould I think.

Absolutely
 
I'd love to see us sign a gun centre(specialist) in the 20's in the near future.

As much as I'd love to see them play forever the reality of it is Killer and Skivvy aren't getting any younger.
 
We did that already, Whare, but it became clear Killer and Matai weren't ageing fast enough so he moved on. We'll get someone when we need them.

Great players yes but not a specialist centre.
Both are fullbacks good for filling in yes but not a long term solution.
