Curtis Sironen & Dean Whare to Manly??

[HoldenV8]

Wasn't Siro Mk.II talked about as a possible Origin player this year, at least before the season started.

Though I guess that puts him in a rather large group that gets talked about as possibles but rarely make the step up.

His profile states that he weighs 95kg. I thought he was a fair bit heavier than that.

 

[Freagle]

I actually watched him very closely when the first rumours surfaced about us being interested in him. He played a good game that day - ran hard, ball-played a bit, long minutes. Dunno if that is standard from him, or he was fired up 'cos of the rumours (i.e had a point to prove). But if it was any indication, I'd be happy to have him join us.

Looks like an old link - wikipedia has him at 104kg. I'd be surprised if he wasn't heavier than that now, too...he's about six foot five, fairly big frame.

He'd want to be heavier or he won't last long under the dictatorship of Fulton

 

[DUFFMAN]

Yup I think the ratio of 'players with potential' who actually go on and be established good 1st graders would be about 1 in 5 tops. Not a great method of recruitment to try to achieve some success imo

5h1t with that ratio we are bound to of picked up 2 good players for next season, just need to sign 50 more players and we have our full 17 playing squad.

Siro just dosent play the same like he used too.

So what, I'm still excited that we signed Liam roach

 

[Shoe1]

Well I guess sirro won't come to manly now

I keep waiting for Liam to get a run. I've been waiting a while now. Did he ever even play a game for reserves? He was back playing park footy the entire year wasn't he?

 

[ricardo]

He's quite ordinary. Desperation stakes.

This.

He really is just a park footballer. Only his name got him to first grade with the Tigers. We really don't need anymore "depth" (read rubbish) second rowers.

Curtis would be a good signing. Back row or lock he can only improve our attack.

He made first grade for Kho Samui.

The great Bozo loved Sironen snr. He was the first forward picked for NSW and Australia because he was big and that's what Bozo wants. This would be all to do with the relationship between Bozo and his dad. Same with Bozo and Hoppa, Bozo and Lussick etc etc

That's just his buttocks

100% correct. Jobs for the boys. And mates boys. Just not boys who have played for our club forever.

But Curtis can be of value. 2 or 3 years ago he was what Bryce Cartwright was this year. Half way there, to being the next biggest thing.

If he's cheap now even better.

A bit like Uate, in a different setting.

With a point to prove.

The first year at least should be amazing.

What if we could get Roach Jr, Sirro Jr and Pearce Jr all in the same team? We'd win the drinking comp at least.

We have Johns jnr so we're only a waitress shy of a gangbang

I wouldn't mind this signing. He is young, talented and has nowhere near reached his potential. He is big with a hard nose and can ball play but never been consistent enough. He is exactly in the same boat as cartright was a couple of years ago.

If we can get the best out of him could be a very astute signing. He is young and would be cheap and could turn out to be great. I would rather Manly go after cheaper young players with potential that doesn't break the bank then paying overs for players like myles and brown who have been very underwhelming and expensive.

We do need someone to step up for that vacant second row position. We don't want Brown player there! Yes, buhrer was a fine player, but not an x factor type player that manly need in that back row.

I'd feel better about these young kids with potential coming to us if I had faith in the coaching staff to actually develop them but agree - big coin for old doods setting up their super funds is not the way to go.
