Is Lillyman worth a shot for a season

[nightster]

I think I would prefer Jeremy Latimore over Lillyman ... cheap runs hard

 

[nightster]

here's a few players coming off contract that one or more could have a place in our squad
Darius Boyd

Masivesi Dakuwaqa

Patrick Kaufusi

Jeremy Latimore

Kevin Naiqama

Billy Slater

Sam Tagataese

 

[BOZO]

I would hate to be the commentator trying to pronounce that name,the set of six would be over before you finished.I think we have the young aggressive guys covered,unlike others I think Sipley and Paseka will play a role next year along with Tanginoa,Hopoate and Bainbridge in the backrow.I also rate Lussick more highly than others,I think he has been the best front rower with Taupau's quiet streak of late.I am not sure how much more of the cap we should be spending on the front row,I believe we need a veteran who is a calm,stable,consistent type(for reasonable money)more than another kiddie,but unfortunately unless these guys want to stay in the NRL the ESL pays more.....Tetevano is a real nut job and is still young,maybe he is the type who would fit your requirements.(Don't know about his sexual prowess,you would have to check with others on that....)

I can understand with what you are saying but I am over the experience old guys like Myles and Brown and Lillyman etc whos best playing days are well behind them . Even you were quoted as saying no to Graham from the dogs who is past his time
The NRL is a fast brutal game and its a young mans game . We dont want any old players who need to take Viagra to get on to the field feathered friend . We need young blokes in their prime who can come one to the field and maintain a hard on . No more of these players that need a rest .

But who or where are they mate??

Doubt that the Manly football department would be interested in recruiting a type of player such as Lillyman and who is approaching the end of his career , regardless of his reputation as a reliable and solid toiler and usual tradesman like performances . And again.with Marty, Darcy , A F B , Perrett , Sipley and Paseka all available for next season , would seem to indicate the club"s intentions at this stage of their prop priorities and faith in developing some of these younger props. However again time will tell and as the cap situation is just being or soon to be facilitated , of course there may still be some interest with any club 's playing rooster that may have to be then adjusted .

Good question . Some are already contracted to other clubs but that does not mean nothing , others are coming off contract and others are in the lower grades .

The no to Graham is not because he is past it,but the cost.Too much invested in the position already to spend big.Not too many 22 year olds who are real leaders and can be counted on in tough times,some veterans are needed and at a cheap price is good.Taupau $600k,Lussick and Perrett (who we pay full price next year for) $400K each,AFB at least $300k,Sipley at least $200K and Paseka probably $200K,thats at least $2million invested in props,probably enough there.

I agree with you that not too many 22 year old are leaders but not too many does not mean there are none at all feathered friend
Remember this true saying ????

I am sorry I cant give you names accept for the obvious big names that are going around as I don't have the opportunity to watch lots of other teams grades .

 

[mave]

No to everyone, except some young hard-on guy that I've never seen or heard of.

Recruiting 101, Bozo style.

 

[EagleFlys]

Lilyman is a no, and anyone over 30 by round 1 next year is also a no.
