Good work Des

[The Who]

I am ok with Big Sam on low coin.
I just wish we knew each club’s salary cap position so we knew where we stood and how much we had in the kitty. I am ok with players salaries remaining confidential, I just want the overall picture. The NBA does this and it is great for fan engagement.

Agreed. I am amazed that clubs such as Newcastle and Doesn'tmatta can continue to splash cash around when they have paid overs to attract most of their players.
And as for Easts . . . that makes a mockery out of the salary cap.

...is this a gee up?

No it isn't.

 

[Scorpio]

No it isn't.

Then can you please explain how and why Des (who is within his rights) not naming a starting team until just before kickoff - for a trial match - has any relation to our crowd and membership numbers whatsoever?

Even the Lurker doesn't even know how or why it is related. He hates Manly and will use any barely relevant pretext to smear this club.

Lots of time to become a member before Des didn't name a trial side.....

No point in getting upset with The Lurker.......we all know he despises Manly with a passion & will post anything to show his dislike for us. People like him hide behind mysterious names in fear of anyone knowing who they really are. Lurker is nothing but a spineless, snivelling little coward who, i'm pretty sure, would $hit his pants at the mere thought of his identity being found out. He's a hero behind a keyboard & his secret identity & a big mouth when it comes to outing other people, but stand up to him face to face & he'd piss himself...........oh yeah I hate him too hahahaha.

I suggested before the two areas I worry about at Manly are 5/8 and lacking one tough experienced forward. Kassie would solve one of those concerns.

He’s not a bad ball player iether

Storm seemingly have to shed a player or two prior to season kick off.

Would definitely take Big ( not so big ) Sam off their hands.

Fatsiano was the one player I thought would blossom under Bellache. But he seemed to go backwards. Strange.
I think he has one last chance to prove he is a NRL standard player, and I'd welcome Manly giving him that chance.

"Every other club in every other trial named their sides, but not the arrogant Sea Eagles. No wonder their memberships are embarrassingly low."

Classic Lurker.

Like George Rose, I reckon Kasiano plays better when he is appropriately conditioned (ie fat).
