"I put my red wine glass up to the Manly table (after drinking the contents, of course) and overheard them discussing Jorge Taufua's future.

From what I could ascertain, he is no certainty to be at Manly next year, especially with Akuila Uate on his way from the Knights."

I read somewhere on here that Uate and Daniel Tupou were going to be a wingers next year. Man I hope this isn't true.

Love the way the Jorge runs from kick returns.

Though reminds me of Trex on the wing. Always a liability in defence.

Not to upset.

The Phantom was the first to link us with Matugi. Seems his source is as good as worscetershire.

 

[Eagles2nv]

Its the Lurker so take it with a kilo of salt.

If anything I wonder if Jorge will do a T-rex and move into the forwards.

Jorge is a great winger... when his confidence is down he can drop a high ball here or there.

on the other hand he can pick up half volley bootlace pass off the ground and carry 3 blokes over to score a try

Or HP?

Jorge is far too inconsistent to carry for a season. He must go. Loses far too mamy games for us

It's a fickle world we live in isn't it, get rid of a bunch of long standing players and bring in a bunch of journeymen and 31 year old has been's and expect instant success.

Will be very interesting to see how 2017 pans out, I saw a FB post yesterday where @bones is hoping for a wooden spoon, whilst that's a bit tongue in cheek it's going to be a challenge to improve much over 2016 but I do agree with @Ryan some of the buys are an improvement over the ones we let go!

Only time will tell.

Jorge hasn't run that way for 2 years though

 

[The Who]

It seems the new Manly way is get rid of good, loyal players and bring in has-beens who's only motivation is the salary.
This club is heading in the wrong direction.

 

[Loobs]

But who will not try to catch bombs if Jorge and Snake aren't there next year..?

Don't worry, we saw Tom T do it one or two times this year.

 

[Holmsey]

Don't worry, we saw Tom T do it one or two times this year.

Tom is probably the safest player under the highball in the NRL where as Jorge and Snake run away from Bombs.

Which loyal players? Didn't they all come here for the money in the first place?
signed,
Devil's advocate

Now everyone is saying Jorge is a gun before they were saying he is crap and shouldn't play again...

 

[Woodsie]

You've set a trend .... now everybody is changing their minds on a daily basis.

 

[MadMarcus]

Now everyone is saying Jorge is a gun before they were saying he is crap and shouldn't play again...

Imagine the uproar if they said we were letting go of Lewis Brown!!

This was a subject of a thread last week?

 

[Wombat Legacy]

It would be nice if there was some balanced conversation on the player ins and outs. Instead of, Bozo is a fwit, Penns are idiots, the club is a effing joke.
Some of you sound like plain sooks. Tafua is good 1 game in 4. He has become very inconsistent, although he has battled injuries.
I am not sure he will be kept, because of that inconsistency
