    Are you suggesting we should have rejected the Turbos apparent insistance on a package deal on their terms? StGI tried that with the Stewarts. They wanted to treat Brett and Glenn separately when the Stewarts insisted on signing as a package deal. Whereas Manly jumped in and happily signed the...

    What specifically needs clarifying MM? i.e. Can you please clarify what you mean when you ask me to please clarify what I mean? :)

    Tired of Bozo hatred

    Love that banner. Had no idea the Manly supporters behind it were quoting Swift. What next? "Better belly burst than good liquor be lost"?

    Tired of Bozo hatred

    Fine words! I wonder where you stole them. :) I'm curious. If stirring, that is funny. If serious, do you have a link or reference?

    Tired of Bozo hatred

    While the link between hatred and powerlessness is undeniable, compelling and dominant, there is more to it. Seeking more power (which is what our auto conditioning, including hatred, aims to do) or even getting more power is no long term answer. More power just raises our expectations of what...

    Tired of Bozo hatred

    This year and last, two favourite club legends (Toovey and Bozo) severely dissed for missing the semis. Quite different people but they do share the trait of being intensely competitive winners. Putting aside the disappointments, heavy injury tolls both years ensured they were no chance of...

    Channel 9 - bite me

    Yeah GE. Says a lot about ingrained culture that the channel 9 sports boss believes you can't have experts who are neutral/unbiased. Cam Smith may be poison to many on this forum, and they will point to inconsistencies, but IMO the first article in your link above shows why the Storm are so...

    Tired of Bozo hatred

    Each year in the 60s when it was clear we'd missed out, yet again, my dad would smile and say, "Oh well, there's always next year". That undaunted optimism, even more than any results, is what success means to me. And what made following the team a joy, no matter what.

    Bozo to Jamie

    I'm disappointed Jamie is going. Especially love his attitude. A team player in every sense of the word. And from a footballing perspective is it a bad thing? I really don't know. Eg Could we be strapped for cash with Matai and Snake taking up huge chunks and maybe being injury crocks in 2017...

    You youngsters, full of ideals. Footy forums are footy forums. The team loses, the mood plummets, the complaints and abuse go up. Trying to change that with head-on appeals is sort of like trying to stop the tide coming in with your spade and bucket. Good luck with your efforts, they are...

    Yes. Other notable 2016 stats in what has been discussed: Bird Minutes played: 1470 Penalties conceded: 21 Errors: 20 Games played: 22 Offloads: 22 Buhrer Minutes played: 1108 Penalties conceded: 10 Errors: 5 Games played: 15 Offloads: 10 And the goals kicked stat favours Bird, 1 goal to 0.

    In attack Bird's strength is workload, Buhrer's is metres per run. 2016 stats: Bird Minutes played: 1470 Number of runs: 350 Metres gained: 3045 Buhrer Minutes played: 1108 Number of runs: 162 Metres gained: 1662

    It's simpler when loyalty to players and loyalty to club coincide. But now that there's a split, I'll still be keenly following Jamie, same as Hiku, Gutho, MB, etc.

    Buhrer

    Then don't stop there. Follow through on Bozo's big bopper strategy. Buhrer's choice: Career death in Blacktown or life in Newcastle. So Brown's choice: Career death in Blacktown or life in England. Book any loss. Big bench with Jamil/Api providing gameday adaptability for injuries.

    Sharks Chairman v Penn

    That's a jump in logic Loobs. Just because we've hit a low point doesn't imply this is some new, low standard. We could settle much lower.

    this is the team we should have

    You rate Api as a starting hooker Turbo? Really? Why haven't you told us this before? And maybe given us your reasons?

    Buhrer

    We're old timers TC. With the modern-day social media-induced 30 second attention span, maybe cricket scores is what is needed to grow the game.

    Mundine.....again.

    lol. Woodsie - the incessant whinger. Loves to dish it out. Glass jaw at the first hint of a reply. Fine by me. Happy for you to continue being my little puppet.
