Aloiai Gone

[Peter C]

The good news is we have some money to spend.

The bad news is, were not as popular a club as we used to be for players to switch over to us.

A forehead?

he had a 5 or 6 head

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

I always sort of hoped he might take up a bit of boxing. Watching Paul Gallen thump him would have been so great I might almost have paid up money for it.

If we sign Kenner I give up. Dude is washed up and not the way forward. Can we please sign some established first graders and potential, no more pensioners

Actually Manly are negotiating a deal with the BBC for a new tv series.

The working title is Dad’s Army Down Under.

What hurts about him was that we had to pay him to leave

Ahh, good times - Nate Myles, Lewis Brown, Blake Leary. Actually, compared to our current pack….

David Klemmer will be at manly in 2026

Well he ticks all the boxes. Ex-tiger ☑️ over 30☑️ feet set in concrete ☑️loves to give away a penalty ☑️
Where's the pen for him to sign his contract?

Didn’t someone also say his agent is Moses? Another tick.

 

[Brookie1973]

We should get one of the big super funds to come on board as a sponsor - we seem to be the super top-up club for those approaching retirement.

Yeah I've probably missed a few more. Logically we shouldn't be anywhere near him

You are aware Josh was a pretty good amateur boxer during his league career! I dare say he’d have given Gallen good thumping! Plus why the dislike for Josh? You can see how much we miss him since his injury. Good luck to the guy. He got injured putting in for Manly. Hope he has great life!

Not asking you to disclose your source or doubting you......this is more said out of hope...but are you saying this as fact as in, you are in the know or is it more read somewhere or heard from someone who knows someone?

I'm just desperately hoping its the latter.

I give this club more lattitude and faith then I should and they just keep making it difficult to kerp showing up.

It’s funny, because I was watching the dogs tigers game on the weekend and when Klemmer appeared on the screen, the thought of us signing him flashed through my mind. Then I thought, nah, not even us would be that dumb.

Mate we were discussing Nate "giant face" Myles the thread had wandered as Silvertails threads often do. Aloiai, I agree with you and I am on the record with rather similar comments.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

If we do sign Klemmer that to me really says that regardless of what we might think and hope the cupboard is empty money-wise.

Ah soz mate….my bad.

Not a prob mate.

With the players moving on we should have the best chance for a partial rebuild in years. Money should not be an issue

Aloiai was an amateur boxer and has never had a professional fight, so I reckon he’d struggle to give a seasoned professional like Gallen a good thumping…this is a guy that just won a fight against SBW, who most people would tip to smash Aloiai into next Tuesday. Love him or hate him, Gallen has proven himself to be one tough hombre. All Josh has achieved is a moderately successful FG career that’s been littered with injuries and ill discipline.

And a former mentor (in the Australian team) to one of Manly’s de facto co-CEOs, Jurbovic.

Another tick.
