Jorge is back!

[tookey]

We've lost 5 of our last 6 mate or something heading into Melbourne in Melbourne. Season was in ice some time ago tbh.

No idea WHATSOEVER ,why we aren't looking towards the future, and blooding our youth. Build. Like Panthers did.

They culled the old and dated (see Lewis and others), we keep recycling them

Agree

A cleanout at the end of the season with singing younger players and better strength and conditioning definitely required

Well said mate

But I also know deep inside, you're quite frustrated, and that's okay, too.

Us married men get 'frustrated' a lot of the time.

I am not really interested in these younger player's singing skills 🤣

The Positive Jorge Taufua Patch ...
The Queen Mary may not have the fastest turns but she is hard to stop at full steam ahead and hits pretty hard too .

Yes, I have seen him score some tries that not many wingers could score. He has tremendous power!

Olam, Hughes, Munster carving up down his side.

Olam will be playing on the opposite side of the field. I am looking forward to Koula upending him a few times.

Good test for the young fella as he is a beast !!

He is powerful and with power you can overpower the opposition

Strength (power) along with Speed and Skill are three game breakers
We have enough game breakers to win the game
We are loaded with game breakers
Koula
Garrick
Tipi
Foran
DCE
Haumole
Shu
Walker
We just have to play a discipline mistake free game and we can beat the storm

 

[Darknstormy]

What scares me is the enthusiasm for slow comes out of his line drop the bomb jorgie from everyone..he is rubbish and des is rubbish and out of date..would be interested to see in a yr or 2 what superstars out of the nursery we have left…felody fainu a Schuster complaint already..Harper is rubbish but we are low in troops so I can turn a blind eye to that but Harper and Taufua together is the opponent’s dream..meanie in fb for storm isn’t a big deal so why not bring in
Weekes
Tuipolatu
Koula
Harper
Garrick

Sweet Jesus that's frightening

Gotta get them singing the victory song sooner rather than later!

 

[DGD]

Jorge Tafua..make those big hits count..loyal manly trooper!!! Show this team what it takes to wear that manly jersey...I am sure you will inspire koula and Co to lift ...regardless of the result ..Go Manly

 

[bob dylan]

Hope he smashes his long awaited return!

Not going to lie... a little worried about him and Harper defending together!

Could be a masterstroke.

I dont reckon anyone is keeping an eye on Harper but can assure no one with half a brain is taking their eyes off Jorge.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Let's go Horhay. Great to see him back.

Him and Tippytoes driving it out of our end is going to get our sets off to a positive start. Hope he adds a few more hits to the jukebox and gets a meaty in his comeback game.

 

[QLDSeaeagle]

Does anyone else give out a santa claus laugh and say 'that's classic' when they watch this. I just did

It always puts a Big Smile on my face. Hit 'em up Horhay.

Hope he plays without his hair band, looks way more scary

Worst case scenario is Munster kicks to Jorge's wing on the Storm's first set inside Manly's twenty & Coates scores (game lost at that point). Best case scenario is that after a dour battle for the first 15-20 minutes, Jorge takes a pass ten metres from the Storm's line & crashes over for the first try of the game (somehow we jag a win).

Ahhh, the old Des won’t play youth myth is around again

Since he came back, Fainu debuted under Barrett but heavily used. Cust, Keppie, Garrick, Olakau’atu, Funa, Schuster, Saab, Tuipulotu, B Trbojevic, Koula have all been young and had a fair run at first grade while others young in their career have gotten a start like Waddell, Harper etc

Isolating this occasion, I haven’t seen the other bloke play at all so can’t have a solid opinion on who is the better option for the situation

I didn’t include Albert Hopoate in the debut list, because Des didn’t want to play the little upstart. The sky was falling in, Des had no idea and was the worst coach on earth because we would be losing the next big hope, and how has Albert gone since leaving ? He may not get every decision right but I’m happy to back his player judgement over a very long NRL career, there is certainly no moment like when Barrett told Hynes he wasn’t up to it
