T-Rex to Manly for the rest of the year

[SeaEagleRock8]

Ah, an oft overlooked requirement for every successful Manly team. This confirms it's smart recruiting.

For me he provides us with another option when it comes to forum whipping boy.

Very true, plus more "wtf" ammunition against the board. Always important here!

 

[Woodsie]

For real done deal? Sauce? Or cafe where u overheard conversation ??

Worcestershire.

 

[ricardo]

Sangster's nickname is HPsauce I was hoping for that! But I don't mind me some Woschestershire 🙂

 

[Ryan]

No thanks. Watching Trex turn and chase a kick was as painful as it gets.

Ever seen the QE2 turn? Re-named this ship T-Rex.

I mean the hex and brown have come good, what if myles has a stormer in origin and runs into form for us? Who will be out whipping boy then?

Can I vote for Myles anyway? We are and were (against The Sharks) a MUCH better starting side than when he is there plodding from minute 1.

I know im a bit late to this conversation and it's probably all been said before but I honestly can't make any sense of signing t-rex, especially considering baz can't stand lazy players.
When taupau gets back from suspension he will be in the starting back row with buhrer and jake t, who are all capable of big minutes. Now bozo's arguement is that t-rex might be able to provide a bit of strike on the fringes (assumingly off the bench) but we already have a big ball playing foward in mateo that can slot into that role once he is back from injury. I am also really disappointed with the clubs decision to let tommy symonds go i think he is a very underated player who still hasn't reached his full potential due to his bad run of injuries.
T-rex might be a good signing for our nsw cup side but i just can't see him offering any depth to our first grade squad.

I like Tred too, but let's face it that's been the story of his career....unfulfilled potential due to injury. He has also suffered by having to play out of position in the centres a fair bit as a fill in because of Matai and Killers injury frequency. Call it being a victim of his own versatility, or whatever, but fact is we have Lewis Brown and to a lesser extent Ferris to cover that role now so where does that leave Tommy ? ....as the odd man out I assume, hence the rumours of his imminent demise.

T-Rex is a big gamble, but if it works he'll provide a lot more upside off the bench than Symonds can offer . The risk is that the T-Rex downside is a big one as history has shown he doesn't have anywhere near T-Red's consistency.

 

[BOZO]

T-Red is predictable . Every team knows what he brings on the field . T -Rex is the X factor. One moment of bliss can change the whole game coming off the bench . At 27 years of age there is still plenty of life in him . T-Rex is not extinct

Hm - seems he really IS a nice guy...taking the time out to comfort Foran in his hour of need...or something...

Everyone should floss.

This is exactly why TRex would be a good swap. We already have Buhrer, Leary and TRed filling that workhorse role in the squad, but we only have one impact second rower in Kapow.

In a straight up contest I'd pick TRed, but with our squad as it currently is TRex is the more useful player, to us.

Thanks HM! Mine didn't work for some reason...

 

[Deleted member 24974]

We desperately need depth. Bring 0n T. rex

You need to paste image links with the special link - the one next to the smiley face.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

good call he reminds me of Betty White in that add.

oops I was thinking of Golden Girls.

Tony is built more like Beatrice Arthur than Betty White. Let alone Estelle Getty or Rue McLanahan.

Wasn't like this in St Oluf's.

 

[mozgrame]

I think this is the best news so far this year, which really says a lot about our year!

Butt this is ridiculous....

So when does big Tone play his first game for us, does anyone know?
