Will Pearsall to the Knights

[manlyfan76]

I havnt played footy in a while. Infact last time i played it was mixed touch. I still know however that in three years time there will be a whole new bunch of gun prospects who can play half or 5/8 so im not too disapointed losing some may have beens and kept a current NRL gun.

I would like to know who is our starting 5/8 is though.

I think there is something in treating these young players in a manner that is best for their future. This may be the best move for his future. Playing more FG games will be better development than just NSW cup. If you treat him right now and be becomes a "top shelver" then some chance he will return.

Wonder why the Eels didnt want him.

An old photo surfaced of Pearsall's bedroom as an 8 year old, and he had a Toovey poster on his wall. Unacceptable to the new regime.

If only he had Zorba up, he would be playing first grade now

 

[eagleron]

Does Mark?

I wondered that as well lol

 

[MadMarcus]

Travers is/was sitting behind Cherry. You do realise this, don't you?

What a dangerous place to sit. He could have had his head taken off when Cherry backflipped!

You guys are delusional if you think our 20's halves were any good! That 20's team made the gf on the back of three exceptional players, knight, demetriou and of course trbojevic. Garner also shows promise but that's about it. All this hype surrounding them reminds me of Groome and Drinkwater and we all know how that worked out for them.

Agree. Both halves were no that impressive offered very little with their passing game and kicking was poor. Hynes came on and showed more promise and had some flair in attack and think he woukd be a keeper.

What about the hard workers like ramien and Bainbridge two youngsters who do a lot of the dirty work, don't see a lot of defence in ad

I like the look of those two. I think ramien will definitely play first grade

I agree. Hynes has the most potential of the three.
Aaron Groom and Drinkwater have been mentioned but there was also Gary Riccardi who was an absolute gun around 2011 and unfortunately was stuck behind Foran and Cherry. QLD junior rep and led all the stats.

 

[Ripper]

The kid had no chance of making first grade at manly, just as simple as that.

 

[kingoftherodeo]

Hynes needs to bulk up and play in the back row

 

[tookey]

Mate I did say " that's not playing for us".

From that star studded 20's side in 2008, other than the ones who stayed with us I can only remember JWH going on to be a major force in the game, but have I missed anyone??

I don't count Foran with the Eels now as he did play for us for a fair while.

I thought Cherry Evans went to the titans.

Did I miss something?

Drinkwaters halves partner in SG ball went ok also. Bloke by the name of Luke Keary. Shame he wasn't retained into NYC.

 

[double hoops]

I did notice Keary's name. This young kid at the Tigers in hot water ATM Matthew Lodge. I pretty sure I seen his name amongst our junior lists as well.

Lodge was a penrith junior before moving to storm, I think at 17. Released by storm to then join up with tigers.
