Goalkicking, good point. If both Rubes and DCE are gone then we'll still have Fogarty but who is back-up?
DCE has been a pretty decent quality back-up. I guess at least we'll have all next year to get some candidates practicing.

Along with TKO, there's also Schoupp - if they stay. However, I read Schoupp's got some offers from ESL so he may not be at Manly in 2026. Otherwise there's Wakeham, if he ever plays in 1st grade again, Brooks (who kicked a few for the Tigers) and Faulalo (who's kicked goals in the lower grades).

I highly rate Reubs, he always gives 110% and has an incredible attitude. Definitely not someone who is easily replaced.

I think from memory it was John Gray the ex pommie and Norths bloke that was the first round the corner kicker in league ..

He was, I remeber seeing him and going WTF?, but fairly certain they used to place the ball upright and then do a round the corner kick, whereas a kicker like Len Killeen used to place it upright but didn't approach it around the corner

We better not let this guy go. Gives 100% every game and he's one of the best wingers in the game

Off to the Bears my guess. Probably fullback money too. We won't match nor should we. Adequate first grade winger but replaceable

I reckon the Bears will go after Pappy as he only signed an 1 year extension until end of 26 with the Storm.

Agreed yet we predominantly play him at centre 😃
