    Very interesting. I wonder though under what circumstances you'd give away a possible additional set of 6? I'd say when your defensive line is getting exposed for example. Wouldn't it be more prudent to coach a team to stop allowing the exposure in the first place? Then again, we definitely...

    Absolutely not. I believe we may lose him to the Cowboys, hence my attention to the matter now.

    I'm guessing - Paseka, Olakau'atu, Jake before him?

    The Silvertail's optimism pulse 2025.

    Taukeiaho, wanted half a million bucks to play this season (which every club refused), and apparently Manly offered $400k. Is that honestly a budget buy for a player people are hoping plays 10-15 games? I think it's pretty good coin.

    @Smokin Joe , hey mate, would love to hear in your educated & knowledgeable view, who as of right now, is DCE's succession plan at the club?

    You're making excuses mate. 27 combined infringements (giving a fresh 6 again) or outright penalty, for one player, in 24 games isn't acceptable. Unfortunately, Jake can't magically speed up, so his clearing of the ruck is probably the best he can do, with the attributes he has. Lots of plus...

    Don't buy it @manlyfan76 - they shafted him in my view.

    Still waiting for Bullemor to be extended. Easily our second best forward after Olakau'atu

    Wayne Cousins ( Media Manager)

    I'm sorry, but how do you legally make a role redundant, then replace the position immediately? Wouldn't that be a case for unfair dismissal ?

    Leo Thompson would have been an awesome get. Young, bustling, international already.

    All makes sense mate. I will say there were some very high end forwards that moved clubs though. Ones that make a huge difference: Addin Fonua-Blake James Fisher Harris and many others. That guy from The Tigers joining The Storm (forget his name). From the outside looking in, whether it being...

    Even my reply was meant to lighten the mood and make you laugh mate. Looks like my comedy is like a botched vasectomy with a blunt scalpel. I think I need to use emojis more, now that I have glasses, I can tell the difference in them haha.

    How does that relate to us though? We comparing ourselves to The Tigers? That is the so left field, unnecessary comparison I don't know where to begin. We need to break into the top 4, and become contenders. Can we compare to Panthers, Storm or someone else please? We need a better mix of...

    I honestly think the only reason BK was allowed to leave Newcastle, was his one error against North Queensland that finished their season that year (2004). He was still pretty well at his peak still. He was still an Origin and Australian representative quality player.

    Ummmm, dude, I don't think it's "special athletics" as you claim......it's a standard health camp for people who are overweight......that's pretty rough of you man. I follow that page because it subscribes to health and fitness.....

    Too old. Too slow. Too injury prone. Will start off well, but as the grind of the season wears on, he'll get fatigued and lose his impact as his legs get tired. (see Brown, Lodge, Woods, Myles & many, many others). We seem to not learn. We needed a youthful, bustling, impactful, explosive...

    Omg, some people disliked this. Buy a sense of humour guys, it was a farking joke ! Pretty sure they are going cheap on eBay.

    If we are to go all the way in 2025 who is in our 17?

    Not saying his selection by any stretch. But if you look at say Croker, Woods, Brown, Condon etc etc etc it's the culmination (different players at different times) - and even in them, some power forwards are perfectly okay, as long as you get a healthy and balanced mix. By all means, put Jake...

    If we are to go all the way in 2025 who is in our 17?

    The exact mentality that has steered us to an average of 10th-11th for the past 11 years.
