Buhrer

[Chip and Chase]

As far as I'm aware Ferris is contracted till the end of next season. If he goes then it has to be agreed to by him as well. I know it's not easy to stay somewhere you feel unwanted, but he has the right to stand his ground if he really wants to.

 

[Harvies elbow]

It will be interesting if the coach wants him but the football manager doesn't.

 

[The Quirkster]

I had no idea Quirkster. Was his analogy in Animal Farm about the workings of the NRL as well, in that some seem more equal than others?

Yep. It's a common misconception that "Animal Farm" was a commentary on the Russian Revolution.

That's BS. He wrote it to point out the "equality" of the salary cap. What a crock.

 

[Loobs]

Just to play devils advocate for a second - Buhrer has had two knee reconstructions in three years along with a number of injuries from getting steamrolled (which credit to him is from putting his body on the line defensively). Manly has been pretty good of late at recognising when our injury prone guys haven't got a lot left. Maybe this is another case of that? Dunno.

That's a fair point,i know they played different positions,but using that theory,should they of got rid of Brett Stewart in 2010?

He has a year left on his contract, loves the club, tries his guts out, and was one of our best when he returned this year.
I'm really over it with this one.
I hated, hated, hated them sacking Tooves but at least I could see that it was some insane political agenda that he was never going to win.
I was very sad to see Matty B go, especially when they'd signed him to an extension only moments before but again, I could see that he was a Tooves man .... new broom etc.
I was astonished at them letting Gutho go, a local boy with massive potential who had just been trotted out with the Turbos as a big three resigning. And don't give me that BS about he wanted to play fullback, he was standing beside Tommy T for the announcement ffs.
I was completely perplexed at them dismissing Hiku after so much work had gone into making him the great, young utility he was, and don't tell me about the season ending injury, they couldn't have seen it.

The culmination of all of these with the letting go of Jamie Buhrer is that I'm done.
See you again when we have new owners.

Most of those guys you mentioned were let go to fit in Walker and big Marty. Sorry but you make those moves every day of the week of your concerned with getting better. Did everything come off as planned? No but I'd rather they try and improve the team than remain static.

Face it - same moves and we had a winning season all the whingers here would be very quiet.

Stick with us at least!!

 

[Haliaeetus]

un - *&%%$ - believable

 

[robbiea]

FMD.Agreeing with Loobs twice in one week ..

 

[CoreyWaddellSuperFan]

Stick with us at least!!

I'll never leave you and Silvertails Mark!!
And I'll still watch all our games on the telly and even go to a game or two.
But I won't be giving them any membership or merch money.

Face it - if I'd been born with Meryl Streep's acting ability, I'd be a multiple Academy Award winner!

 

[andyvb]

I hope Jamie stays but if he goes so be it. He is a solid consistent player who gives away the odd penalty, but, he is not the player we look to to lift when our forwards are being pumped, he isn't the guy that will produce the match winning play. He is a no nonsense player which every team needs, but there are plenty of others out there. I hope he stays but I understand it's not the end of the world if he doesn't.

 

[Ned]

Pissed off about this, I don't want Ferris to go and I just hate the thought of seeing Bird in our colours. Another great marques signing Bozo.

Looks like the Super League isn't the retirement village of the NRL any more, it's the Sea Eagles.

They are basically forcing him to go, believe they have said to him "If you stay you'll be playing for Blacktown" or something along those lines.

 

[andyvb]

Bird is a great player and should have been in origin. He can kick goals (which we need) and he will bring that mongrel we need in the forwards.

 

[Loaded dog]

There is only one person that should be shipped off to make way for Bird...Bozo

How 'bout both of 'em?

What we have 'ere folks, is a phenomenon known as "SHOTGUN RECRUITING".
Unlike Cronulla, who targeted the positions that they wanted to fill (9, 6 and1), Fulton's approach seems to be grab fourteen or so discards at random each year and hope that one or two work out. Then, do the same next year...

 

[Holmsey]

At least we have a ball playing lock who is a noted quality goal kicker.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Lol. People aren't seriously trying to justify Greg bird on his goal kicking ability are they ? He is not a "noted goal kicker".

 

[Ned]

Ok, I have seen this comment a few times, so I had to look this up. This quality goal kicker has had a total of 40 shots in his career, at 62% accuracy.

Based on that 'quality' I hope we get allot of shots from right in front next season.
