Ben Condon

[ManlyTragic]

Condon will defend like a Trojan

… now is not the time for him to go soft!

Just sayin’

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Seriously though I wish him well and all he has to be is energetic to be better that some of those he’s replacing.

I hope he rips in and has a great game.

I've been told they breed them tough out roma way and we need some of that right now (well always, but now would be awesome).

So congrats Ben have a rip snorter of a first game for Manly.

Good opportunity for him to step up a bit to show some good i st grade form . Just has to keep it simple with some good hard [ no pun intended ] runs and try to show a bit of grunt in defence . Even with limited possession sometimes this season , Manly have struggled to put opposition packs on the back foot more . , ruck defence obviously not the best either , even more so with Jake absent. .

I have been less than impressed with his physical impact in the games I've seen him play ... hope I'm being over critical ... and that he has an absolute corker ....

Ive got low expectations to be honest but hope he surprises us both.

All this back slapping for Condon, he's only playing because we have 4fwds on the side lines. But hey, a call up is a call up, and I'll be cheering for him right on his first hit-up.

Yep he’s very low down in the pecking order and so I have low expectations to be honest.

Especially our pecking order, but I'm sure he'll make most of the chance!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He needs to run for over 100 mtrs, 40+ tackles with no misses otherwise we burn him

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Especially our pecking order, but I'm sure he'll make most of the chance!

And hopefully the Dynamic Duo (aka the Pacifica Pretenders) have to work their way back to FG via Blecktown.

That’s just before we permanently ship them out to the Manila Folders, in the East Asian Superleague.

Good luck Condon
Hopefully you make the most of your chance and fire above your weight. Make the most of it son.

Love

Presented his jersey yesterday by Vic Mauro.

Ben told his team mates he'll do his job and won't let them down.

Can't wish for more than that.

Good luck today!

Geez with all due respect, underwhelming getting your jersey from ol Vic. Surely they could've found someone more "famous"

I hope he adds an extra layer to our piss weak defence

Just sayin’

To be fair he is part of a pretty special group in the club that have won a premiership - also a good example for some of the kids to see what hard work can get you

Exactly. One of only 85-odd players who have won a FG premiership at M-W.
