All good boss

Good chat, Chief.

He gives his all, but it doesn't really show. He's all arms and legs flailing around, making minimal yardage. Back to the bench next week for Correy.

Did Caleb even get a run tonight.

for about 5 minutes lol.
Caleb should be starting over Waddell.

All good boss

haha

Fancy having Corey Waddell as your backup for Haumole and BenT. That is the biggest recruitment miss I can remember. How haven't we recruited any backrowers?

For the sake of future development, I agree

WTF is the title of this thread? Waddell a pleasant surprise? Watching him is like waking up after a big night on he piss with **** or piss in bed.....he's an unpleasant surprise

Tried explaining earlier
Was uninspired by his return signing
But.....after a very good game I attended in 2024 at Brookie where Manly beat Penrith.....his performance "that day" was a Very pleasant suprise
I rate him a backup at best personally, but do see him as a scapegoat in relation to a horrible performance, where Hoppa and Simpkin were the only blokes who went half decent.
The halves were shocking and played sideways every time and forwards including Waddell were 2nd rate

We were forced a couple of times last season to use him in the middle of the field, and I actually thought he made a pretty decent fist of things and was handy in that role. How the hell we are now back to a point where we are starting him on an edge I don’t know

Plodder

A bit unkind to the rest of our plodders...... maybe an ultra plodder

A bit unkind to the rest of our plodders...... maybe an ultra plodder

I Ponder just how much better some of our Plodders would play under a better coach
