All we are saying, is Pearce off !

[HoldenV8]

If Lane could get the laziness out of his system, he has the size, speed and skill to become one of the best forwards in the NRL.

I hope for his sake that he doesn't end up like T-Rex.

Will never be or claim to be an ace poster on here Kevin but in terms of anyone"s opportunity to post with reasonable context and content here , i can only say and especially in regard to your French connection , Liberty , Equality and fraternity . .If it seems that i have nothing worth while to offer or contribute , i will happily go back to just being a regular viewer of this site and some other footy sites , which i was doing long before i joined here and just continue to be a life long and passionate Manly supporter and fan . If you have any or an aversion to my posts , my suggestion would be to just ignore them , no one is compelling you to read them .

I definitely have no aversion to reading your posts mate. I was trying, somewhat unsuccessfully it appears, for some tongue in cheek humour.

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

What Lane needs is a bit of Igor/Magilla pre match motivation, where Igor broke Magilla Thomson's nose to fire him up just before they ran out.
I recommend some Kapow/lane interaction...

 

[HoldenV8]

I think with both Myles and BJ gone from the team that Lane will play more first grade in 2018. Most likely from the bench as part of the front row rotation. But he needs to make the most of it.

I just dont know where Lane is going to get his aggression from , he's had time to untap it .

What u see now is what u get. At his age you'll see all the good and bad attributes. As time goes on he will gain experience as a player but those attributes will remain the same

High intensity exercise and a broken nose that obstructs breathing aren’t a good combo. Maybe just get someone to slap him.

Yes and no. It really depends on the mental strength of the individual. Yes Lane is lazy, but that doesn't mean he always will be and I hope for his sake (and us since he is currently a Sea Eagle) that he snaps out of it and goes on to realise the potential he has.

The guy is a freaking giant. He's 6'6" (198 cm) and 115 kg. He really could be a monster in this competition if he changed his work ethic and there is nothing to say he can't do just that. The question remains, will he?

 

[nightster]

is Tommy Raudonikis available ... Igor hits too hard

Car battery .. wire .. and testicles spring to mind.

and he is fast for his size and can step and off load ... he needs to run a few more holes ... maybe someone like Pearce could light his fire

Thats about all that would do it .

 

[Smokin Joe]

He's probably better coming off the bench to spell Jake or giving Winterstein a break.I get the feeling when he has to play the full 80 he paces himself and just ends up doing more tackling than running.Might be battling Tanginoa for a bench spot next year.

 

[Peter C]

Except for Thurston

Yeah, but Thurston's mouth is quicker than his brain, he might be great on the field, but off the field is another story.

He is 22 years of age not 32 .

 

[brad]

Your right , and he is 115 kg and almost 2 m and haven't seen much since his breakout year with the dogs in 15 . He can offload and run a descent hole , but doesn't have enough mongrel for my liking . Hope he proves me wrong .

 

[BOZO]

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.

We tried to offload him at the end of 2016 season and no club wanted a bar of him .
I would love to see our young talented players given an opportunity to shine in our 17 and bring enthusiasm and competition to our squad instead of aging players that are passed it

 

[Deleted member 26876]

All of our key signings , marty , walker , api are being payed way under market value or their true worth ... Most of the guys are on modest contracts apart from turbos & dce .. .. We had 600k their for thompson plus 350k for blake green alone .. So why is all this bs coming out about being over the cap.. Geez this greenturd is a wanker... A deadset tool..

Doubt we are over the cap (but rather we don't have too much), though i'd think that those guys were on back ended contracts

 

[nightster]

yes I hope he does too Brad

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Would you bet your left nut on that?

To seek clarity on this I asked the thoughts of a local wise man, Wun Hung-Lo. He said "any man prepared to bet his left ball must be a right nutter."

When pushed about the Pearce signing he said, "Grasshopper, It is all about "contract". That is, visiting Cronulla and Newcastle is the con, and the land between Mosman and Narrabeen is the tract. Pearce be with you."
