All we are saying, is Pearce off !

[Jatz Crackers]

I guess it's not the done deal some would have us believe then.

Then again it could well be.

Unfortunately Pearce has it in his head that he is the leader of the team he plays for. Yes he was the leader for us these last 2 years but we have had better years when there was a Carney or Maloney to call the shots. Mitchell is a toiler, a good one but you cannot depend on him to get you out of trouble for 80% of the games...sure he'll kick a field goal now and then but most times if the team was depending on him, you just don't get that from him....

I'm sure that if you get him, he will be good and you can even be champions as long as DCE is the man for most of the rounds...but if he gets injured like an Ingliss did this last season and Pearce has to take charge, then you're stuffed. Pearce tries his heart out and tackles well though the last few games he was a little off. His kicking though is ineffective. I like Pearce as a young man...his past behaviour has been blown out of proportion... He's no Harvey Wienstein...I wish him well for any club as long as we don't get beaten....

Did Harvey root dogs

ZtC forgot to reference his 'FC is irrelevant' Manly Daily piece from a few years back

Most Fans and past Players have kept the faith and love of our 70 year history

PS. Alan Thompson (5/8 extraordinaire) has replaced Bob O'Reilly on the FC Board

That’s good news, I liked Bob’s passion and he was always great with me but it was probably time he ( and a few others) bowed out!

The speculation will continue unabated until #nextweek now but you’d have to say he’d announce something then as he needs to get back training.

My guess , about Friday #nextweek at the latest!

Bit of an over sight by me , as looking at a previous post, seems that D C E was prepared to revert to a 5 / 8 "s role on any Pearce move to Manly , not that it matters that much of course with the halves interchangeable common roles these days. But acknowledgement to P J A Y Z. and MAD MARCuS. Certainly not regarded as a world beater but with D C E and Tom Turbo now on essentially million dollar contracts , Pearce would definitely be expected to perform in Manly colours on near similar money . Then almost one third of the cap on three back line players . A P I and Sirro would be the main players on probable upgrades for next season but of course with a few fringe or marginal i st graders also off contract , this should be easily accommodated .

Sharks haven't had to shed players? Maloney,Brown,Mortimer,Bird,Beale,Tagataese,Latimore,Heighnington,Cherrington,Williams..........

Brown, Mortimer, Latimore, Heighnington, Cherrington, Williams? LOL!!! Was this post tongue in cheek? I can't tell anymore.

And wasn't Maloney pretty much a straight swap?

? What is your point? They have been shed/released/swapped....call it what you want,what their status or cap price is irrelevant....They have lost players and replaced them with only a few players of note and are now depth wise scarily thin just like the Roosters.Gallen and Lewis are on a lot less than in previous years.....

Would you bet your left nut on that?

He was probably just having a bit of a lend of you Al,most of us can get a bit sensitive to comments.You are probably like me and want to get all your thoughts out into one post rather than going back and forth with 30 small posts....

I try to get all my thoughts down in 1 post too, and my posts are generally pretty short.

But that's just because I don't think much.

Long or short.. Most prefer long.. Some say it doesn't matter. As long as you get your point across..

I always like to read your posts Al.

 

[eaglebuzz]

You’re less likely to get your thought across in a long post because reading them is unpleasant. I generally only skim longer posts.

The thing is if we have to release players ( brown , lane , hastings etc ) to fit Pearce in there is no guarantee that these players will be picked up .

Hastings and Lane would probably have takers. Both are young and can still end up as very good NRL players. Brown on the other hand.....we're kinda stuck with him until his contract runs out at the end of 2018 because no one else wants him.

A lot of people say the width of the post is more important than the length.

I'd be sorry to see Lane go ... I think he is worth the investment ... has mega potential ... just needs some of Marty's agro
