SignUp Now!Yes unlikely to have any compensation approved until after the season starts and well past any time to sign a recognised player.The NRL will not make it easy for Manly.
Problem is that Nase is already charged and the Police resources may not be directed at finding the man on the runso a few weeks go I mentioned a conversation with a person who walks in the circles that Manase does, who was adamant of his innocence at the time he was being held in custody. I asked again is he is sure Manase will be found innocent, this time he said unequivocally that the person who is responsible is now on the run, which made me breathe a sigh of relief, growing in confidence of Manase's innocence, it does **** me no end that with the stand down policy he may miss the season though.....Be so good when this fiasco is the rear view mirror and he is kicking arse for our tilt at the premiership
'Hold my beer' says the Mafia.For a religious mob the real question is why Nase was named and what punishment there is in their Church for allegedly lying![]()
That is part of the problem with policing. Once they have someone in custody for a crime, instead of still investigating based on finding the actual criminal, their energies generally focus on getting a conviction in court. And quite often they will actually ignore evidence, including eyewitness accounts (usually dismissed as "unreliable"), that can prove that they have the wrong person.Problem is that Nase is already charged and the Police resources may not be directed at finding the man on the run
This means that he has to await a Court date and that may take over a year

And Walkers 'no fault' stand down, don't forget.So if Manly are or continue to be disadvantaged by some salary cap disadvantage in 2020 , how many seasons does that amount to now on a continuous basis ., Four consecutive years now ? [ or is it five ] 2017 being stitched up by Greenberg and his cronies for the Snake and Matai injury issues , then the 2018 - 19 farcical cap breaches [ another Greeberg stitch up ] and now a likely cap disadvantage in 2020 . More then likely additional adversity and disadvantage for Manly to contend with and i certainly hope if this again eventuates that the team and coaching staff can then find the fortitude and resolve to contend with it and strive even more .
Case in point - Snake - took 2 Seasons to be cleared by a JuryThat is part of the problem with policing.

At least they both have kicking games. But no way can we rely on them doing the job for the entire season. Even if they show enough ability, it is such a tough position and will take a toll on anyone, let alone Croker's injury history.Of course, they could well just bite the bullet and go with Lachlan Croker and/or Cade Cust
If we go that way with Croker and Cust, that is going to be the big question....how they handle the position. Cust being a hooker in the juniors might be OK, but as often is the case, playing a position in first grade is a lot different to playing it in juniors. And hooker is arguably the most demanding position on the field, not something easy for those not used to it.At least they both have kicking games.

So buying at least one hooker with NRl experience is a must. Surely!
How did a player like Parker handle cementing a position in the centres last season ?If we go that way with Croker and Cust, that is going to be the big question....how they handle the position.

I get that and I agree Des got the best out of Parker. But the difference is that he was a centre anyway, even in NSW Cup. Neither Croker or Cust is a first grade hooker, both will be converted halves.How did a player like Parker handle cementing a position in the centres last season ?
Answer : Des found a way to got the best out of him as he will find a way to sort out our number 9
Penn needs to employer a private detective to find the person responsibleProblem is that Nase is already charged and the Police resources may not be directed at finding the man on the run
