Tom Symonds

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

yeah possibly, it wasn't a decision that cost us anything at all, and there's obviously pre-game plans in place about who plays how long and what not unless injuries pop up. Just an observation that he was a few more runs away from really breaking the line and how well he was going seemed odd not to leave him out a bit longer / bring him back earlier. If it means easing him into it, and keeping him a bit fresher then sweet. coach knows way better than me. The kid looks set for good things though, fingers crossed he stays injury free.

Amazing the difference it makes when playing around a good core, these guys have fit in so well, all of them, and you look at those who left, not near their form they showed when they were with us (early days i know, better not jinx it!)

he's on 60k a year and probably worth $300k the way he is going, straight out of the Menzies mould. We need to sign him long term if he stays injury free till 2014, hopefully that will be enough time for him to buy into Manly's winning culture.

Dunno why but cant help feel he is waiting for his chance to go back to Rooters.eg if SBW goes back to rugby. It seems he was very reluctantly forced out.

 

[Jatz Crackers]

From his comments since he started i get the distinct impression that he values the difference at Manly. Its ours to lose I reckon.

Hope he stays long term he's a great pickup. He looks great in the Maroon and White.

Agreed. Very handy pick up. Hope he stays on with our great club.

We definitely need to lock him up for longer. Love that physical but skillful, quick and athletic play he brings to the edges. Always looks a threat to break the line. So happy the roosters discarded him because we were more than welcome to snap him up for a bargain. Must look to secure him long term.

I get the feeling he'll end up back at Easts.

Hope I'm wrong though, he's been really good for us so far.

Haven't heard anything official, but the tone of Tom's voice gave me that impression.

Theres already a good discussion about symonds there. Its getting tiresome reading 2 threads about the same player.

Cheers guys

 

[Jatz Crackers]
