Adorable

Amazing really the number of players who sustain serious injury yet make it back and go on to have lengthy careers. Toff seems like a top bloke and he is developing nicely in our prop rotation. He is a monster!

Classic .... great interview .... with that smile I think the girls might have a new favourite ...

Think I have a man-crush as well, to be honest...

Very cool interview thanks for sharing!

Refs know my name: The moment Sipley knew he'd made it

Lol, nice one! Good interview.

Liking the Tof, seems like a hard worker and wants to be at Manly. Good on him! 🙂

 

[wombatgc]

That is cool. He’d be a riot on the piiss.

 

[killerspud]

What a humble guy, wish him all the best and go MANLY!

I had the privilege of meeting Toff last night and he took a photo with my daughter. Let me just say this man is an absolute down to earth guy. He gave us all the time in the world and he genuinely seemed to enjoy the time around his supporters. People like Toff that don't walk around with an inflated ego (like some in the NRL) deserve not only respect, but, all the success in the world, regardless the team they play for. Thank you Toff for the time you gave us last night and the photo with my daughter (we have a great memory), regardless what happens in the future I hope you never lose that humbleness which money will never buy. Wishing you well for tomorrow night!!!

Thank God he didn't say 6.

 

[Blucky]

He has a brother apparently. Anyone know anything ?

That is great to hear. It’s easy enough to see that interview and think he sounds like a good bloke, but to know there is that sort of personality and character in the squad makes me happy, just as much as a win. The Dessy and Donny factor me thinks.

Toff re-signed (yay)!

As up in the signings thread.

On Wednesday Manly doubled down, sorting Sipley's future at the club until the end of 2021 with a new deal and faith in his ability to now keep himself on the paddock.

"The club's shown a bit of faith in me and it was good to get it signed and out of the way before going into the game, I'm grateful for the security," Sipley told NRL.com.

"The first time I did my knee when I was younger coming out of 20s, I broke down in tears. But this time around when I got told, I felt something different.

 

[Kevinward777]

Great news... what an awesome bunch of forwards we have locked down.

 

[Ben]

He is our impact man off the bench. Shame he got injured early this year as he was really starting to kick on. If he stays fit he is going to be a monster.
Awesome news he is staying on and great to see us keep this side together
