Aloiai Gone

We should use the money to re-sign DCE.

Is that the same as cutting someone’s grass?

Already suggested on page 1. Roundly rejected.

No way in hell. Fogarty will probably end up being an upgrade on DCE, especially if the cash we save allows for some astute forward recruitment.

Look, I’m on the fence about him as a player for us—both in terms of what he brings on and off the park. But there's no denying what a brutal sport these guys play for our entertainment.

Sure, he might get a payout, but he’ll be dealing with shoulder issues for the rest of his life. That kind of injury could easily limit his ability to get work after footy, and I just hope he’s managed to set himself up for life beyond the game.

I really do hope he finds a fulfilling path post-footy and doesn’t end up paying too high a price, physically or mentally, for the sacrifices he made for our enjoyment.

Well said.

Payne hass anybody?

Joan would an improvement on some of our forwards

 

[Eagle 1]

He is probably trying to get a gig somewhere but I imagine he will retire shortly

I'll always remember Marty's little speech after his 2nd week of training at the Broncos.
"I've learnt so much since I've been here"... under Kevvie Walters, really !!. So he didn't learn anything while he was at Manly...lol.

If his performances since then are anything to go by he learned how to be useless

He was already there.

Hopefully Bully has definitely committed or agreed to terms for another few seasons and Tent can make a full recovery by season "s end
Then leaving most probable Jake and T K O to carry on into next season as other likely middle options ,
Sipley may well stay on but with status quo there , hardly going to enhance the middle stocks that much .
Think that James would have been promoted much closer to ist grade contention by now if considered up to it , Sykes always has seemed to have some potential but also just short of the next required level .
Taking into account that Alioia was essentially bought in to try and compensate [ or largely ] for A F B leaving some seasons ago , sure that a priority would be to definitely try to find another formidable prop somehow .
Disappointing that May was not quite hitting his straps some time ago at Blacktown but that "s the way it goes sometimes unfortunately

To be honest, Tent has been a disappointment, he's bigger than most of the other props, but he's too timid and injury prone, don't know how a man of his size can fully recover from a ruptured Achilles Tendon

 

[castle eagle]

Maybe…..name me a prop in our squad who’s been better than Aloiai??? Paseka sure & ????? Don’t even mention Jurbo or Lodge!
