Let go "recently"....i guess my definition of that is different from yours.

Some of those guys were 10 years ago.

And if you are worried about Brian Kelly and Shaun Lane then you need to re-assess things.

I'm not defending the club. I will be critical when I see something i don't think is right. My comment referred to Alec T and Villiam Fifita, Kaeo Weekes, Albert Hopoate and the Fainu brothers etc and the only one out of them I genuinely think we will regret is Sam Fainu. Latu perhaps as well, but it is too early to call.

Yeah, but the club can do absolutely no wrong to you.

For the record - Brian Kelly is streets ahead of Garrick in the centres. Lane is FAR better than Burbo and Jake (as a backrower). If you don't think so, then I don't know what to say. Also as Weekes improves and gets better, all I'm seeing from Brooks is regression from his first few games.

And who is better Brian Kelly or Tommy Talau? Hint one of them was a Manly recruit this last year.

Clubs get recruitment right and wrong at times. We could go on all day with examples.

Dude I'm as disappointed as anyone with the club being mediocre. Saying the club can do no wrong to me is outright wrong. I enjoy your passion for the club but not sure why you want to resort to saying stuff about me that isn't accurate.

No centre has missed more tackles in 2024 than Brian Kelly. He has 46.

I'd probaly have him slightly shading Garrick atm but Kelly has many more years 1st grade experience in the centres....its extremely close IMO

Lane I've never really rated, even back to when he was here. He's had the odd purple patch but all in all has been pretty crap.

This year he has beer so poor he lost his starting place to Kelma Tuilagi....let that sink in.

I think Lane was but parra have moved him into the middle as he was struggling out wide

The thing with Jamie is that we all had a little hope that there might b spark that moves this club forward, a gamble but one worth taking especially in a game which we were probably going to lose anyway.

Well I just disagree with that. Brian Kelly is a great little player, and Des letting him walk without compensation was a disaster (I get he probably wanted to go - but why? Let's address that).

Tommy Talau has shown more this year than Brian Kelly has in his career.

Sorry Ryan but your memory must be fading.
Kelly drops the ball at the most inopportune times and makes so many dumb mistakes.
Still does.

Glad we let him go back home.

 

[Pete W]

Why are many continually using words like "after all our time developing him..." etc? How many clubs keep all their talented juniors? Did we develop all of our players? Does anyone really develop anyone, or is it that this is how professional sport works? Get a grip people

Gone to the Vermin

can we not keep one "junior" we have nurtured .I don't know if he will be a good 1sr grader (i suspect so ) but it just gives me the hits that we seem to just let them float off ,and now the team that I most despise with that wiley old c%$# has just stolen him from under our nose.
like what are you doing Seibold ??
Please Explain

Jake, Tom, Ben, Tolu, possibly Gordie, and half a Schu

 

[Bringbackcliffy]

Our coach cannot see past any player who is not managed by Moses

I would back Bennett's judgement of a player over our rubbish coach any day

Humphries will be another player we let go who will come back to haunt us

Simpkins is bog average and is not the answer as a hooker

The sooner we get rid of Seibold the better we will be

Seems we are determined to rid the club of any emerging talent. At least the 1st grade are comfortable knowing there is zero chance anyone will ever be dropped

 

[Highflier]

No mention of: Nycho Hynes, Clinton Gutherson, Addin Fonua-Blake, Shaun Lane, Brian Kelly, and a rheem of others. That Sharks centre.

100%. You could literally make examples for every single team in the comp that has lost players & have played well elsewhere. It’s apart of the game.

Well I just disagree with that. Brian Kelly is a great little player, and Des letting him walk without compensation was a disaster (I get he probably wanted to go - but why? Let's address that).

It was my understanding at the time that he left coz he was too far from family. And he's with Des now so that would be ironic if Des let him go as opposed to Kelly wanting to go. And I also thought Hynes was a troubled kid and that was the main reason he left. And AFB also supposedly left for either gang reasons or family reasons, depending on what rumour/journo you read at the time. The club has made questionable decisions but it seems a bit harsh to hold them responsible for all of them.

Sorry, I dont agree. Kelly has no pace & is a mediocre defender. I still remember the day when we played the Eels, Kelly took an intercept, had a 15 metre head start on Sivo & was run down in 30 metres. Garrick is better for mine.

 

[SeaEagleSI1]

The Rabbitohs have reportedly lured promising utility Jamie Humphreys from the Sea Eagles in what is one of incoming coach Wayne Bennett’s first moves.

Following the news that Dolphins back rower Euan Aitken is set to follow Bennett to the Bunnies, and Souths letting star hooker Damien Cook walk to link up with the Dragons from next season, the Rabbitohs have an eye to the future with the pick up of Humphreys.

The 22-year-old, who can play halfback and hooker, is Manly’s reigning Jersey Flegg player of the year and even though he’s enjoyed a strong season in NSW Cup, the Sea Eagles are willing to let him sign with a rival club according to WWOS.

 

[The Who]

The above report states that Manly was willing to let Humphreys leave.
I hope our retention committee knows more than the experts on Silvertails.
Perhaps DCE is planning to play until he reaches Cliffy's retirement age.

 

[mave]

Wasn't he off contract for next season anyway?

Lane? It took him how many years & 3 clubs before he started showing any form & you’re comparing him to second year rookie Burbo?!?

You constantly present stats to back up your claims but as soon as someone presents stats that disprove your claim suddenly it’s all about the “feels” & you change the subject? 😂
