Stewart 'Rested'

[XV-1]

To be fair turbo had very little defence to do tonight but what I do like is he has no fear in bringing the ball back. He doesn't look at offloading it to a person in a worse position in order to avoid being tackled.

Before the serpent is punted i'd really like to see how the new fb go's against quality opposition. Perhaps the storm.

Very true. Saints did very little in attack tonight, so Tom T was never tested.
If Stewart can get over his hammy injury, gain confidence and get back to being involved, we will need him.

how time is all our enemy.
Once upon a time we couldnt win a game without snake
now we can finally win a game without snake.

Must be hard to take if you put yourself in his shoes.

James Hooper just mentioned on Triple M that Snake had seen a specialist regarding a knee injury this week and he's heard that there is complications that could mean we've seen the last of him in the NRL.

That would be sad, but perhaps a little convenient ( putting my tin foil hat on).

Despite his current issues would have been nice to farewell him with Jamie in round 25.

Terrible news if true however Father Time gets us all. These last few games will absolutely never taint his legendary status in my eyes. One of the greatest and most influential Sea Eagles ever to pull on a jersey.

Manly can still organize a Sutton's or Brookvale Mazda motors drive around Brookie in Rd 25 if his knees are gone

Amazing how fast the attrition rate is for the 2008 premiers 🙁

We could still farewell him in round 25 - just that Snake would be in his civies and Jamie in his playing gear

Nonetheless, sad news from Hooper if true....

Judging by the gist of that conversation he's battled it for some time.
I'll be remembering him at his best.
And how sweet it was !!!

One of the kids at the sports clinic asked if he was going to play against the Warriers and Snake replied he wasn't sure he was going to find out that afternoon.

 

[Woodsie]

First I have heard of a knee problem. C'mon silvertails, why wasn't I told earlier,, or have our sources become lazy.

 

[Andrew..]

It's beginning to sound like none of the big 3 will be with us next year.

Saw Brett this morning - signed my son's tshirt and had a chat to him. I have a lot of time for Brett.

Very sad
For me it is all about Jamie now. Travelodge Brookie booked, halfway tix front of grandstand. Can't wait
Maybe Brett can exit with some dignity left in tact. It is Turbo Time

And you didn't ask?
How's the hammy?
How's the knee?

Nah sorry mate. I didn't want him to think I'm a Danny Weidler kind of guy trying to pick up the next scoop

Snake was arguably our most influential player over the last decade. No other player was more vital to Manly winning or losing over that time than the record try scoring Prince of Brookvale.

We could lose just about anyone to injury during that time and we still would have found a way to keep winning. Whenever Snake was out injured though, more often than not we lost.

Unfortunately though it couldn't last forever and now thankfully in Tom we have someone talented enough to make fullback his own.

I'm not going to say that Snake should stand down and let Tom become our first choice fullback a-la Bob Batty for Graham Eadie because its not up to me. But I think its something he and the club should be considering.

One more magic game for the Manly faithful. One more try at Brookie then hang up those boots. This would be the script I'd write.

Understandable, but you didn't have to do a Weidler interrogation...just one little question could've been enlightening.

If I did that then I wouldn't need to visit this site then what would I do with my limited free time?

Some guy I briefly met at a caravan awning place two years ago told me he'd had a couple of beers with Glen Stewart the weekend before, and Glen had said that Brett's knees were totally shot way back then. I would have mentioned it on Silvertails but it seemed too credible at the time...
