actually comparing a tough high performing Holden V8 of the Brock era with a plodding tired old Volvo - you are correct.
Comparing a top money prop with a guy that if he did come, would be half that coin at best. Better off comparing with a Keppie type.
De Luis actually showed me something for the first time last night which was a huge bonus, but Woods off the bench v De Luis is still a no brainier
That plodding old Volvo is still making 123m a game

a useless flopping plodder v a high performing top money prop. Yes Woods and DL to replace Marty? You probably need to add Boyle in there and the three of them might replace Marty lol lol.

De Luis was very good last night. He's not flashy but he's definitely willing. Took multiple hit-ups, often in the same set, and his defence in the middle is solid. Doesn't seem to make mistakes with the ball, which is also a bonus. Seems like Des's confidence in him might be growing as well, because he played more minutes last night than I thought he might. Perfect squad player for us at the moment. If injuries run our way he might not get to see much first grade, but it's nice to know he can do the job when he has to.

He is gutsy - all heart but just cannon fodder really - he does his job - just send him up to get smashed and get us to the right part of the field for the next play. I can't ever see him making a break. But agreed he can plug a hole.

De Luis is a plodder, good heart and has stepped up admirably. But he is as 1 dimensional as a prop comes. No leg speed, no post contact metres, no off load, no sting in defence
He is like a seventh string prop. Pure depth ( still good to have)

How about Tariq Sims. I reckon he would look good in our pack

De Luis made over 100m in 20 minutes played with 40 post contact metres. He played 20 minutes less than Paseka and made more metres. Not bad for a 7th string plodder
Sometimes people see what they wanna see. Suli, Croker and Parker are further proof of that!!!De Luis made over 100m in 20 minutes played with 40 post contact metres. He played 20 minutes less than Paseka and made more metres. Not bad for a 7th string plodder
Fair enough, good to know, by the same token, Some people don’t see what they don’t want to see
I agree our players have by and large been excellent this year, it doesn’t mean they can’t be frustrating at times and it certainly doesn’t mean one can’t say something when they are.
But I’m happy with how everything is going, we still need a lot of polish though

I think the changes he was forced to make were only brought about because of injuries to the likes of Sirro and Jetski, it wasn't like he had an epiphany and created a miracle, those of us who questioned his constant selection of players who continually let the side down over a period of approximately four months of football are now being treated as fools, short memories among some of you people, as Manly supporters we have been for years fed a diet of success, how is it wrong to question the coach after the dismal run we experienced over 16 or 17 rounds of football, putting supporters on show because they dared to state the obvious is bloody ridiculous

There is no A.I. Just better computers
DeLuis is way better than Boyle.

I guarantee you he is doing EXACTLY what Des asks of him.
He might be able to play but like all the dragons in the Illswarra are big fish in a small pond
He is a goose like mist of them

We all have an opinion mate & fair enough. The polish will stay a little dull until we have a full compliment of players. At full strength we’ll sit back & admire the finished product!

Very hard to do with a salary cap. Impossible actually. Upgrades etc make it literally impossible.
