Ma'u on the left edge. Could be a better version of T-Rex

 

[Turbo]

We need this guy, he is a current NZ international, one of the best backrowers in the game. He is on top of my list of players I want at manly. Plus he is a consistent performer. Get him bozo, but if roosters after they will get him, they always get who they want even though he is not needed by them.

We'll parramatta ain't going to get hayne. He'll take the easy money option and add to his excellent adventures and play rugby. Bulldog Ritchie just said on KY that the dragons want Norman or hayne.
Good luck.

He is a good player and I'd be happy if he came; however, he is another similar body type to Buhrer, Brown, Leary. I expect Leary will not be around next year, and Brown might be released, in which case he would be a good step up.

I just don't want such a small backrow.

Honey, I could be a better version of T-Rex, and if you met me, you'd really know what I'm sayin!

I can't see Brown being released somehow, but the truth is that he is not worth the money he is on. Good utility value if someone is injured, but if we want a utility then it should be Api, not Brown.

As for Ma’u.....he would probably be an upgrade on Brown but as you alluded to we are overflowing with small back rowers as it is. Ferris rightly has one spot locked up but we need a big, hard running, hard tackling back rower to compliment that.

 

[Loobs]

Ahh the Jail Birds will be great to watch. Would take him just because Parra fans really like him.

 

[double hoops]

He would be a good fit. He may not be 6 foot but he is tough, and one of the better performing back rowers in the comp. Ma'u, Buhrer, Green. 3 different body shapes who all offer different things.

You couldn't argue with that being our starting 2017 backrow.

 

[XV-1]

Just what we need. Another pee heart Islander that can't play longer than 20 minutes straight.

He is not small. Pretty destructive second rower who runs hard straight lines. Also shows his versatility as he has been playing in the centers. I would keep marty in the front row and put Mau in the starting back row. Him or go hard for Jackson.

He plays 80 minutes

LOL. My mistake. I thought he was a forward!

Please don't allow the facts to detract from my posts....he is small standing next to Kasiano

Everyone is small next to big dogzilla

So he has deposed David Mead, who in turn deposed Blake Green, from the top of your most wanted list ?

I just spat my coffee out all over my laptop. Still laughing.

And before mead it was Cordner then Klemmer then Jackson

We ended up signing SFA

 

[KNUCKLES]

Would be a great addition to the team. Manu alongside AFB, Taupau, Meehan, Lussick, Jake t, knight, Lussick would be a very feared forward pack

 

[Bearfax]

Wait for Knight and Jamil Hoppa to get into firsts. I dont think we'll need Manu
