Hell no 96.post away.
That pic @BOZO put up of Erin molan was pretty good.
Erin Moran was too back in the day.
I just don't want any recent pics of her considering her.........

Can't people just be content with what we have in the halves? Green is there next year (hopefully) and he made a significant difference this year.
We appear to have emerging talent in the shape of Tom Wright (and maybe others) to look forward to.
It's not the halves that need strengthening. It's the back row and the three quarters. I think we're all on the same sheet there.
I can only assume that all the 'buy this bloke, buy that bloke' people on here aren't old enough to remember how little return Manly got from players like Boyd, Brown, Dorahy, Close, McCabe, Sigsworth et al, at least in terms of premierships? That is, no return. In the case of some of those players, their playing loyalties lay elsewhere (when it came to the crunch).
I want local juniors in our side and only those imports that really want to be here and aren't merely interested in a meal ticket.

Erin's distant Aussie relatives Jason and Mark are in much the same current condition.
Moylan any day over Foran, Moylan's not broken.
Would rather have Moylans grandma playing 6 than Foran
All that wit and those erudite references, and yet there goes your credibility out the window in one hit!
Too young to remember most of those guys mate, but I do remember what the purchases of Kite, Kennedy, Orford, Lyon etc got us
I'm old enough to remember Reilly, O'Neil and Branighan, which tipped us from contenders (perennial) to premiers, and multiple premiers at that. It's always a question of balance. As Kiwi says, that build up towards 2008 was masterful recruitment, one piece of the puzzle at a time.

Who's this Foran you speak of.

A more complete player is not necessarily the better one if you don't use your complete package in the right ways.
At their best Foran is miles ahead ---- Foran is busted though.
Sadly for the Fiz he's fizzled.
He was when he left us, as it turns out a blessing in disguise.

True. But not the approach of the early 1980s.
We have a good emerging team here. We don't need a high priced import, to fill a position that isn't a recruiting priority for 2018 or even beyond that, with someone who appears to have 'issues.'

DCE excelled next to Foran, and I'd probably call him a running half. Foran is all class ON the field, no matter what people say. He's gritty, plays hard, runs hard and has skill.
That being said, I'd say Moylan is more skilled, less gritty, but is much quicker.
Terry was right though, Blake Green has done really well, but he'll be 32 next season, and if The Warriors are open to giving him a 3 year extension, Manly need to do the right thing by the guy (if that's what he wants).
1. Moylan
2. Green
3. Foran
would be my choice, but I wouldn't complain with any, as they are all amazing players in their own rights.

Moylan everyday of the week. As much as I admire Foran for his tenacity his best may be behind him. I thought that his combination with Shaun Johnson at Auckland would have been special but nothing really eventuated..
