We had an issue with background services between march 10th and 15th or there about. This meant the payment services were not linking to automatic upgrades. If you paid for premium membership and are still seeing ads please let me know and the email you used against PayPal and I cam manually verify and upgrade your account.
If you think we will improve by getting rid of those 3 and replacing them with players from our current roster you seriously know nothing. Ask any good league judge the same and they will agree. I feel for Api. I wonder if he knows he has a deranged stalker

Insult the the poster all you want, the fact of the matter is that we will be nowhere near a premiership with these three in the team. I think this is the point he was trying to make. I am not sure if he/she is actually the dumb one...
I have a feeling ,and said so before kick off, that this will be the last year for our " big 3".
Skivvy very sadly is starting to show the wear on his body.
Killer has stated, although not for a while, that he'd like to do a year at St Helens to finish, at 34 that's very probably next year.
Snake is the one who might go another year, but his reasoning to quit might be to have one year with Gifty in France.
It would be sad to lose them all in one year, and hard to replace to gun centres but it has to happen some time.

Regardless of form, which can improve at the flick of a pass, it's vital to have these three in our team. Right now we need a mix of old heads and young bucks and these three, in particular, carry the fabric that is Manly, that we want to continue through the ages. This is not the time for a quick fix.

We crossed there line 3 times & couldn't put the ball down,plus snakes possible try that was put down.We could have won comfortably at the end.Fix that 1st 20 minute focus & we'll be competitive.
... its not like good ball has been getting to the backs to allow decent attacking room ... at the moment we are better with at least two of them in the current team, if fit, we need snake at the back but we could be blooding another back so that when Matai or Lyon are injured we have a specialist centre ready to roll could be Lavaka, Ramien, Satini, Goodall or Walker with Api or Wright when he is fit into 5/8m .... just my thoughts

Anyone know how far Wright is from playing U20s or reserves?

Would hate to see Keary in a Manly jersey. He's a petulant little twerp.

This period has been character defining for this new team. Nothing like a bit of adversity and unfairness to gel a team together.
I like what I saw on Thursday night. They recovered from the worst start you could imagine to be very competitive and close to stealing that game.
I think its great that the coach is also not taking risks with injured players and that will benefit the team in the long term.
I always believed that 2016 was a building year and setting up a foundation for a real crack at things for 2017.
For them to make the finals is going to require 13 wins or so and that would be a good achievement for this team. I think we will see them really fly high after about round 15, Origin will be over and hopefully the new combinations will come together.
All I know is that what I have seen so far in 2016 is a breath of fresh air compared to the toxicity of 2014 and 2015.

They will. I am not too concerned about our forwards over the next couple of years but I am with our backs. I do not think we have any real quality there in reserves or coming through the ranks that will be ready in the next year or 2.

There is a couple of players-
Tom wright (5/8 centre)
Jesse Ramien (centre wing)
Nick Hynes (5/8 1/2back fullback)
But our outside backs are a concern nothing bozo can't fix
