I am sold on Blacktown. They will be more then competitive. They have depth, experienced Q cup and NSW cup players backing up some very nice manly signings. The list is becoming impressive.

This just proves we need to be patient with Bozo's plan, he is the clubs biggest legend and only has the best interests of the club in mind. This was never going to be an instant fix as the club was well and truly a basket case . Onya Bozo, most of us here are very much appreciative of your efforts and the balance will well and truly have pie on their face.

I can't stand Bozo.
Unless of course we start winning.
Then he's the best.

Just had a thought, which has most likely been discussed already... but has Willo got the boot, now that backup ops have moved to Blacktown??

Hadn't thought of that!

Well here's hoping... I mean I like the guy - minor Manly legend - but he's been riding his luck for a looong time...

 

[Bearfax]

Jake looks to be a solid defender, something Manly will need. He's fair as an attacking player though he does have an offload skill. Good 2nd level replacement player

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Is his nickname 'American' or 'Western?' And does he have a distant cousin called Tommy Tonga?

 

[Freagle]

Wonder what his international allegiance might be though...I mean, we can't have too much ambiguity in the club.

 

[Freagle]

Very minor. More journeyman than legend methinks.

He pretty much played out his career with us, apart from a few early games at Canberra. Made the move from centre to back row when he slowed down...Played in a premiership winning side...retired on a high note before he slid down the ranks. Better than a journeyman, for mine. Also very good club man - popular, supportive, loyal.

Forgot to mention - rubbish coach...

Makes sense I guess...I mean, Willie Tonga was born in Woden...(yep, I'm procrastinating again).

Sam Moa is from Tonga I believe. Do any players with "place" names come from that place? I don't think so:

Bevan French
Mark Mexico
Brett Dallas
Chris Houston
Kevin Junee
Mike Eden

Hey, you've done well. I sat at my desk for ten minutes trying to think of some more of those this morning!

A little bit of info today too,NSWRL officially rubber stamped Blacktowns application to join the Intrust cup,so looks like before today had not been confirmed but now it is.Maybe another signing or two on the way or maybe that is hoping for too much......
