Non-Manly Games [Round 20, 2015]

[HoldenV8]

From RLW's "5 Things we learned from Cowgirls vs Speels"

3. William Hopoate is not half the player he was before his Mormon mission.
It was always going to take time for Hopoate to readjust to life in the NRL but after nearly two seasons back in the game it is fair to say he has gone backwards as a player. Certainly we can’t blame him for the massive money former Eels management threw at him but he quite simply hasn’t lived up to his price tag in 2015. Hopefully with a full off season Brad Arthur can ensure that Hopoate returns to the great heights of his early career.

And it begs the question.....why did he get picked for NSW?

Anyone else hearing of salary cap dramas at Cowboys?Hope it's big and Manly may only be 2 points out of the 8

Is Lussick a better option than Starling? At least Star doesn't give away 3 or 4 silly penalties per game.

Note to Kieran Foreign. You think times have been tough this year at Manly? This is just the warm up for the main act you're joining next year and are stuck with for 2. The Dalai may be a good bloke but he's no first grade head coach.

Tooves has a much better record and is getting the sack. Where is the justice in the world?

The Cows never got out of second gear and still did the Speels by 42. If they were on form they would have put 60 on them.

The Speels are getting Foreign and Michael Gordon next year (plus a couple of others I hear). That's hardly going to propel them into premiership contention.

Foreign sure to better their foranagainst though

My 52-10 was close, just a try short for each side !!

How bad are the Squeals, lucky $forme is getting big bucks because he won't get much more.

He might improve their foranagainst

No. His recruitment must solely be because he's a local junior.

I put the tweets into the PARRAWHAIL Thread - rumoured to be about some shonky property deals in Townsville

Last week the Journo that published the article about Parra salary cap drama said another club would be named in the coming days? Maybe it's them?
