666 - Number of the Beast

I'm suprised this point needs to be repeatedly made on here.

We have all seen what happens when we have two ball running types, and no organiser.
Why people continue to push for another off the cuff running half is quite baffling to me.

If you think its bad on here, try reading some of the idiots on the various Manly Facebook pages. Half of them seem to think Tom Wright is the answer and even when they have it explained to them.....they STILL don't get it.

We already have a ready made 5/8 in Tom Wright.

You are becoming as evil as me.

For mine, I'd go (in this order):

01. Jackson Hastings
02. Curtis Sironen
03. Cameron Cullen
04. Lachlan Croker
05. Luke Metcalf
06. Tom Wright
07. Dylan Walker

Think that's bad .... there are some on this site that actually believe Carney was offered $1.06mil PER year to play in the ESL for the next 2 years .... but he said no, because he has always dreamed of playing 2nd division in QLD for petrol money.

Throw in Matt Wright ..... best game he played for us last year was when he filled in at 5/8 .... strong and solid ... not anybodies first choice, but the world wouldn't end with him there.

He was mate. Surprisingly so.

He was mate. Surprisingly so.

Seemed to thrive on the extra involvement, really had a dig. I can't remember if he had any kicking game.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Keep hearing he wants out from the bunnies.
Tbh I've never really watched him so I'll rely on ST expert opinions.
Would he be worth chasing?

 

[manlyfan76]

Could fill a number of spots in our backline, it comes down to value.

 

[Captain Moondog]

His defence is non existent, good in attack though.

 

[manlyfan76]

What im not liking isif we go with an un-tried 5/8 then Brown will no doubt be the utility because of his "experience"

 

[Cliffy4PM]

How many games did he play at 6 at the start of this year? He was their stand out, when playing there.

 

[The Wheel]

He tore us an arsehole at Brookie in round 2 this year - maybe worth a risk can he kick goals?

I don't think he's a kicker, when Reynolds was injured Goodwin took the kicks. I'd be happy with him as a backup but as somebody said in another thread he's not an organising half. He'd be great as a strike player from the bench though.

That’s a winning backline. Plenty of cover if a half goes down.

Id prefer an organiser. But let's consider Pearce isnt an organiser and we sort of signed him. It would all be about Cody's price. I can see him being a good fit.

Given your fanatical obsession with trying to convince everybody Carney is the next jesus, it does not surprise me that you would believe something as ridiculous as Carney being offered 1.2 million pounds for 2 years.

Just so you don't have to guess ... that is $1,068,000 $AUS per year.

Now ... you believe that Carney, said no thanks to over a million a year to come back and sign a 2/3 year deal to play for a 2nd division team in Qld ... for what .. loose change.... because ....

1.2 million on a 2 year deal is not $1,068,000 per year its over $600 K a year .
Carneys motive to come back to Australia was not to finish his career with a second division team . His motive was to back his talent and prove that his talent can get him back in the big League NRL and its rewards .
I don't think he is Jesus . I think he is a talented player who has represented at the highest level , he won NRL best player of the year award and I also think he was a young out of control fool . Our coach has come out and said Carney was an option . Lets see what eventuates

 

[BOZO]

We actually don't know that for sure do we? Playing in the ESL he would not shave been under the same scrutiny that he wood be playing in the NRL.

Unless we can prove other wise Carney has had a fool proof 3 years in the ESL.

 

[BOZO]

Your argument would have merit if we didn’t already have dce.

We do have DCE but he performs better with an experienced half along side him . There is your merit !
