Aloiai Gone

We won't sign any gun forwards.

The last one we poached from another club was Brent Kite.

I'm not even joking.

Pretty sure Taupau and Aloiai were both considered guns when we signed them

The good news is we have some money to spend.

It's so hard to recommend signings these days. Forwards have such short shelf lives as enforcers Some quick examples include Klemmer, Tapau, even Taumalolo who have gone from being absolute enforcers for a few early years to just mailing it in. That's why I have been so surprised by TKO who has rolled his sleeves up and done his job every single week. He is a lock for our player of the year for sure.

Manly has been the garbage pail for NRL players for a decade now. Players come to Manly when they either have nowhere else to go, or use Manly to get top dollar and take it. The efforts by so many of the players we have brought in has been pathetic. We need to flip the script and go young and build a team from the ground up. I don't mind a few lean years if it gets us enforcers in their prime. Signing band-aid players for big money to appease impatience means we have a bleak future ahead.

One of $CE’s questionable decisions recommending his mate.

Mate Nyles, aka Concave Head.

What hurts about him was that we had to pay him to leave
