Bozo's influence

[brad]

Ok so it looks like james Graham is or could be off to saints . That said he could have been good for us , even 2 years just for his experience and passion and maybe a point to prove . With the influence bozo has on getting players that he normally wants, i wonder why he wouldn't like someone like Graham at manly. You would think if he was chasing him he would come to us instead of saints . Bozo must have something up his sleeve .

He's probably learned a lesson from recruiting tired and weary forwards. We've got enough experience and aggression in Tapau to be leading the pack. We need fresh blood to build and create a legacy.

Cough cough Willie Mason...

Graham might not like his memes.....
What?....Sorry wrong Bozo..

I still think we're one short of a prop next season, someone like Klemmer would suit our style of play. He and Marty would destroy other packs, there's also young Paseka but he needs another year to develop. He needs to be in NSW cup next season to play against men.

Maybe ,but we need an experienced head and as good as marty is he is not a leader yet.

Next year he will be.

I for one am happy we didn't sign Graham.

Dam straight.
It's Klemmer or nothing, from the Dogs.

I think Tof Sipley will crack the 17. He is young though and probably suited to the bench.
Very good leg drive in the mold of Sam Moa and warriors fans are filthy we signed him.

We do need a starting workhorse though.

I'd take Jackson but apart from him and Klemmer no dice.

I doubt we have enough cap space. I know Snake & Matai & all that but we have upgraded the Turbo boys & one or two others.

I would like a workhorse second rower like Jackson. They are a perfect combination.

Manly were asking for a $9.2 Million cap though, maybe we feel we have enough moneys left in the bank. I reckon we'd have to. Try sign Klemmer most importantly and Jackson (or that Fitzgibbon from the Knights, didn't realise how good he was till today)

But the cap is going up also...We must have cash in reserve

I guess he's waiting for the next Frank Winterstein to show up!!

 

[brad]

Dont get me wrong im not overly worried we didn't get him , i just thought if the dogs were going to pay half his contract it wouldn't have been to shabby.

I'm not having a crack at you personally Brad, but I think this whole "we need an old experienced head" thing is a myth; BK was a one off special player that suited our predicament at the time...we are better off building a team around youth in the same vein as the Panthers.

I don't want another Nate Myles coming to Manly to chew up valuable cap space and plod around the field with a zimmer frame, being dominated by opposition packs. If we are looking for experience, I would prefer it was a 27-28 year old career first grader with 6-8 years experience, rather than a 32 year old.

In defence of Bozo and the bozos who run our club (something I am disgusted to do), no one wanted Nate Myles and he was a charity buy in order to keep DCE!

We shouldn't use him as an example.

It looks like a prop is already done and dusted doesn't it. Makes one wonder about that JWH rumour. I guess in that situation we don't have any interest in Graham.
