Turbos team is close but i wld have hoppa at lock @ parcell at hooker .

Who joins your bench. Parcell to Hooker and Koroisau to utility?

 

[SLR5000]

Yeah mate i really like api as well but he could fill that utility role he can play 9,7, or 6 being such a terrier cld even play lock if called upon.. Hoppa could be anything if he wants to rip in

Swap tandy with no flies aeroguard boy Knight and add wife basher tetavano to a 5 man bench

Swap him with Myles as we won't get much out of Myles either as he plays like he is 6 feet under

Um... or is it still too soon...?!!

 

[Ryan]

Um... or is it still too soon...?!!

Huh? WTF? I didn't know that guys. I would have NEVER used his name like that in that case ! Great now I feel like a right royal farkwit 🙁 Not that it means anything, but I changed it.

Really sorry everyone, that was inexcusable, but I honestly didn't know !!

 

[Manly@capital]

Yeah, just like Lussick, Kapow, Jake, DCE, Tom, AFB, Buhrer, Vave, Parcell, Api, and Lyon did.

Yep...we finished 13th after all

 

[Woodsie]

Yep...we finished 13th after all

The point was, are you suggesting players such as Lussick, jake, Kapow fell away?

Excluding Trbojevic, who stood tall all season, the other 2 were ok for half the year, hardly world beating. They didn't really turn any games our way. To be somewhat fair to them though, we are terribly coached.

Yes, but rather than fall away, Lussick, Kapow,, Jake, Buhrer etc improved towards the end of the year

 

[Manly@capital]

Agree with you on the latter 2.

 

[Woodsie]

Mate, please. You don't think Lussick and Kapow finished the season stronger. At the half way mark I was critical of both but they made me eat my words.

Again, were they so good that matches went our way? No. Your initial criticism of them was warranted, and they have a lot to do in order to earn their keep. Taupau is one of the few players I have seen that can rack up stats, yet still have no impact on a match.

No, but the point of the discussion is did they improve, I believe they did.

Your point regarding Taupau is insightful, and was the same at the tigers. I am hoping a more experienced (dominant) hooker and 5/8 can start to take advantage.

 

[Fluffy]

I wonder what people expect from Taupau - they want him to play long minutes at prop and clock up the metres yet at the same time play a wide running second rower and create opportunities.

No one does both

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I guess now Harry's gone back to school the rumour mill will slow down!!

Actually I like the kids on here they are passionate little buggers , all I could get of Manly when I was that old was the occasional Saturday arvo radio game.

But their imaginations do run a little wild at times.
