Player clean out.

[Ryan]

How the f**k is not wanting Roberts indicative of me having perfect lofty standards! You have been criticising our reserve grade backline all year whereas I have been rapt with them. You are such a hypocrite!

Yack, yack, yack.

Walkers a dickhead, Roberts is a dickhead, Foran's a dickhead blah, blah, blah.

Do you know them personally, or are you judging them based on the Media's representation of their mistakes?

Stop acting holier than thou. Know what? Every minimal interaction I've had with Walker has been fantastic.

According to the mob here, when people assumed Taupau wanted out, he was this , that and the other as well (even though I expressly said it wasn't happening).

Yes, I complained about the ability of our backline , and I still think it needs to be much better. I haven't changed on that. I complained about Suli's laziness and partying (told I was wrong, then Des dropped him for it). BUT, I didn't call them dickheads.

People on this board need to look in the mirror. Maybe they aren't as perfect as they think to be able to call others dickheads on a whim.

If that makes my a hypocrite, I'll wear it as a badge of honour. You seem pretty adept at calling other people names your Royal Heighness. If only we could and should all bow down to your greatness.

AFB is a great reconciliation story. People need to remember that. Or is he a dickhead, or hypocrite to you as well.

Dear lord.

 

[ricardo]

Fair dinkum Ricci ..... give yourself an uppercut ... make it a triple ...... "had high hopes" ..... have you given up on him already ....

I hope he has more cojones than that ....

Okie dokie!

Haha, LMAO.

Where did I say anything about Walker or Foran or AFB or Taupau? I only called Roberts a dick head and that opinion is formed by the number of clubs he's been sacked from. Also, I called you a hypocrite. Never said anything about any other poster ever on this site. You just bring it out in me because you are a painful fair weather supporter.

Cry me a river mate.

 

[eaglebuzz]

You think bringing in Roberts (SOO and Australia), Walker back (SOO and Australia), Clinton Gutherson (amazing player), and 2 of our best rookies in is downgrading on Suli, Parker, Croker & Boyle.
Yeah, cool.

The ones I agree with:

Walker back isn't a squad change, it's a return to full strength.

Gutherson I'm on board with.

The ones I don't agree with:

Roberts is a knob who would have a negative effect on squad discipline, and is out of form anyway (reserve grade this weekend).

Suli and Parker are going really well, as is Croker. Boyle is a depth forward.

AFB to the bench is idiotic.

Jake out of lock is counterproductive.

Schuster is not going to go from SG Ball 5/8 to First Grade lock forward in one year.

Dear lord.

Trouble is dick heads can win you premierships. Andrew Johns, Paul Gallen, Cam Smith, Foran, Watmough, depending upon how you define dick head. Look at someone like Tyson. Crazy, but he won world boxing titles. Some times being a little bent can be of benefit in how they play.

 

[mutley]

These guys are young add alcohol and for some you get instead dickhead, there's more than one player in our squad with a dickhead past, id hate to think of the repercussions to the nrl, club and player if taufua spat on a police officer in 2019. yes walker had a rep at souths and yet we stiil signed him. Some can turn it around taufua and fanua blake being examples. some cant, willie meehan and jackson hastings being a recent example at manly. On football ability alone ryan suggestion of roberts is a good one the dickhead side well thats probably a fair call too

 

[redlineg]

As fans we really can only judge on form and how they contribute to the needs of the team.
If a player wants to (or is too off his face to realise that he is) be a 'dickhead', and that 'dickhead' act results in fewer games (suspended, self inflicted injury, lost a fight etc), then we can judge them on reliability and how much less they contribute to the greater good of the team.
Good players will put the needs of the team first.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

+ Contact Broncos, and see if they would like a Suli / Roberts swap. Could benefit both players. I do that immediately.

Roberts on-field value is overrated.
Sure he is fast and is good for about 3 long distance tries per season which are great on the highlight reel, but his defensive reads are poor and he goes missing more often than not.
(By the way, he hasn't played for Australia, as you suggested. He had 3 games for NSW which were last year and he was by far the least impressive of our new backline. Turbo, Latrell, and Addo-Carr all excelled but Roberts was merely adequate.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Please no to Roberts

Fair weathered supporter hey?

Love to see the tangible time and monetary differences we have provided and made to our club.

I've been in Manly Daily for providing extra ordinary support. You? I've provided medium term Corporate support and sponsorship to the club. You? I'm a recurring Jane Try Stand season ticket holder. You? I've provided the club with an opportunity at a major corporate sponsorship. You? I've paid for (in time and money) a 10k signature petition that Grant Mayer, and Graham Annersley took to Grant Mayer, bound it, presented it when he provided the original 10M in funding. You? Etc, etc, etc.

Belittle that with your dribble all you like. Take your player name calling arse, and call me fair weathered all you want. I try and tangibly (and have done so, by walking the walk) so consistently.

List your level of value add, and try and do so without name calling.

Lastly, I was speaking generally in regards to people abusing Walker, Taupau, AFB, Roberts, Foran and others. People make mistakes in life. Not sure everyone isn't as perfect as you, Mr Magnificent.

Waiting for your insulting, abusive response. I hope I inspire an amazing one.

I must say, that is an impressive resume you have compiled there @Ryan. I tip my hat to.

But it proves the point, guy doesn't know me, but still calls me a fair weathered supporter, because I stick up for Walker, Barrett and others, but say Suli is lazy, and our backline could be better, then he starts calling people he doesn't know, dickheads.

Sure, say his behaviour on that ocassional is dumb or whatever. Tell me his efforts on the field aren't great because of XYZ.

But he's a dickhead? Where's that knowledge come from when you don't know him?

People have called Walker, AFB, Taupau names here. Also, Parker.

More than happy to debate the merits of the player, their ability or efforts. But reading that players are dickheads is too much. Maybe people need to look at themselves in the mirror a bit. Not everyone's perfect.

 

[The Wheel]

I must say the 10k signature petition to improve Brookie that was presented to the state government under Maurice Iemma was one of Silvertails great moments. A number of past and present posters stood at the gates over a couple of games collecting signatures and also going to local businesses, family and friends as well.

Shortly after there was $6m provided to go along with some cash from WSC.

Good players will put the needs of the team first.

Good players also rehab their injuries the way they’re advised to, so they minimise their time off the field. Getting carried out of parties unconscious isn’t a recommended recovery strategy, according to any medical professional I know!

Seriously, I am impressed by your obvious love for the club and your efforts to make things better.

You're right, I don't know you from a bar of soap so all I can do is judge you from what you post and boy, you do abuse a lot of players on this site. I love the way you think that I think I am perfect. You are one strange dude though because I certainly don't think so and definitely haven't said so anywhere on here.

As for me, I have been a member of the club for 14 years and also sit in the Jane Try Stand. I've also contributed to the Men of League and bought many items (that I didn't really want) for lots of money to help out former players. But I'm not here for a pissing contest.

 

[manlyfan76]

Under turdburgers new stand down poilicy any number of things that roberts got away with while on the gold coast would see him permanently banned, the titans, the police and serveral clubs turned many a blind eye to walker, often invoving the poor treatment of women, always involving alcohol and drugs, the club thought that by protecting him they had an edge in keeping him to the point of a dodgey contract.

Do you really think he goes to rehab all the way in thailand just for a drinking proplem?
Booted from Souths, penrith, dropped to brisbane reserve grade and in and out of rehab annually, carried out of a party unconscious during the season AND he is game has many deficiencies.

Yep lets sign him LOL.

 

[Woodsie]

My amateur physchologist take on Roberts is that he is not a good young bloke that has done something stupid ..... more that he is a troubled young man in need of help .... and I am not certain big football contracts are the help that he needs ....

Gut tells me we haven't seen the worst yet .....kid needs an intervention ....

Look out! You are going to cop the "Mr Magnificent/Mr Perfect" routine soon for stating what everyone else can see. Or maybe it's only me who's that lucky. Cheers
