Lussick released!

[manly al]

It still seems that Darcy will be released going by some of the mail being reported.

I suppose at the end of the day he is only really providing cover for Tangles and the club must have made the decision that he is surplus to requirements if they have granted him a release (as is being reported - TBC) before Tangles blew his knee. They obviously have faith in one of the younger guys stepping up to fill the hole. If we lose Kapow or AFB to an injury or suspension (most likely) then we are going to be testing our prop depth a little.

I'm guessing that in the short term Kapow, AFB, Perrett and Lane will just play some extra minutes to cover Kelepi - which is not a bad result. AFB played big minutes on Saturday and looked good, last year we looked more dominant the more time Marty spent on the field. Lane can surely play more minutes than he did against the Raiders. So I think we are still OK if Darcy goes. Maybe get Sipley on bench and blood him slowly, or we just carry the extra backrower for experience - Frankenstein in preference to Brown - assuming Jetski gets the nod to replace Siro.

Have to remember that Manly not only dominated on the scoreboard in the i st half against the Raiders but also possession so unlikely that A F B would be able to play similar long stints in an average half . Good prospect though having a fit and focused Darcy and Perrett coming of the bench to give either him or Marty a rest. On current form Lane of course still deserves to be in the 17 if not the starting back row but Baz may opt for Frank . If Darcy is not selected in the 17 today , well of course then he is definitely going and which would be a real shame .

Frank and Jetski are second rowers, so it would make most sense to play them for Siro. Jetski has been strong for Workers and gets my nod ahead of Frank.

Lussick is a replacement for Tangles, so should he leave I imagine someone like Sipley will get the bench spot. This said if lussick has not left yet, he will play this week.

Jetski has been getting good wraps recently for the Workers so may well get his opportunity sooner or latter . Have never seen him play yet but seems to have some genuine pace as well .

Has Darcy been named for any teams this weekend?

No, but according to "Big League" he has an ankle injury and will be back in round 6. I don't recall seeing him injured at Brookie last week. Make of that what you will (in other words who knows...)

If he has an ankle injury at least we know he won't be pedal boating to Toronto.

Came back to early from his Trials' injury then 🙁

Quite possibly....or could be a furphy for another reason. We're left to wonder

Can someone give me an update on Darcy Lussick. He is not listed in any grades again this week and not on the injured list. So have the club released him without making a statement? Pretty poor form to not advise the fans of his whereabouts.

The pub?

Woo!!

He asked for a couple of weeks off to watch the Commonwealth Games. He’s right into it, and it’s only on every four years, so it’s understandable. Where else can you see also rans win a bagful of gold medals.

Greenturd is refusing to grant a release as that would put us in a more favorable salary cap position and he would have to start registering contracts.

He has spent years getting into a position to **** us completely and he can’t waste this opportunity

That sounds about right.
Nothing to do with our cap will be administered on while the appeal is active and maybe even until after all of our avenues of recourse have been exhausted.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

I hope it’s worth the wait and we see Greenburg fall on his sword!

Presume that it will still be up to Manly"s discretion whether to grant Darcy a release and no doubt at present they would prefer him to stay . Agree with Ryan "s post that there is still a quite formidable Manly pack available and helpful that Lane can cover prop as well as back row . Be interesting to see who Baz selects as the the replacement for Siro this week . Surely he will choose Lane , Frank or Jetski ahead of Brown .

With our current track record on releasing players early Lussick is good as gone since the club doesn't have the b@lls to make him
