That clip reminds me of Schuster's clips (early).

Oh dear ….. that’s the KoD!

Is that you Benji?

Why did we let Humphries go?

He is 1st grade quality and ready to crack the big league. Would it really be fair on him to keep him in reserve grade when we have DCE and Brooks in front of him. It’s hard for us to forecast the DCE succession plan as he
wants to keeps playing.
Humphries was the man for the job but the timing hasn’t worked out for Manly.
Best he fulfills his potential in first grade elsewhere, opposed to languishing in reserve grade for a few more years

Volkmam has higher upside than Humphries IMO.

Liked him since his Roosters days.

I think he'll mainly be cover at Souths, basically equivalent to our Arthur

They are both 22. When is the right time. They both will have to wait

Similar players Humphries & Volkman

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Not sure if we have the money , but there’s a few whispers that Carrigan & Kevvie Walter’s aren’t getting on, and if the old boys are stuck on Kevvie being the coach there might be an out.

I’d imagine the Dolphins would be the logical choice but he might view Manly as more likely to win a GF in the next few years.

Jake to the Prop rotation, Carrigan to lock.

We’d then be starting to look like a premiership threat

 

[Rackets]

How did Carrigan and Seibold get on?

 

[Disco]

Ha it is a beautiful dream but I dont see it

 

[The Wheel]

If Broncos let Carrigan go then Walters is dumber than I thought he was. And I think he is pretty dumb

There is seperation in the dressing room and groups

 

[Will on the hill]

Not that it will matter Pat is out of our price range.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yep , if they keep Kevvie there’s going to be some players leaving.

 

[Frogz]

Yep , if they keep Kevvie there’s going to be some players leaving.

NO way Gordon Tallis says Kevvies the man...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

What’s the deal with this Michael Chee Kam rumour , where does he fit in to our needs ??

Im hoping depth 🫣

 

[The '47ers]

Why did we let Humphries go?

Because people couldn't spell his name and his contract wasn't approved.
