Josh Aloiai

[Eagle 1]

Nailed it. If we had to pay 50% of his salary through 2025, I would do it without hesitation.

Not a big fan of paying a player to play for another club. A sure fire way to piss off our fans.

 

[Eagle 1]

Aloiai has not even been close the player he was since he became a spokesperson for what happened last year.

I think I would like to see younger and keener guys given a go. He looks disinterested and is just full of errors every game now!

It's not that, it's just that he doesn't make any tackle busts like he used to back in his first season for us. He's been hampered with ongoing leg and shoulder problems, maybe that's the problem.

This guy single handedly makes me not want to watch Manly play. He’s so arrogant and cocky in interviews, yet he is the worst player we have. Not only is he dead wood - he actually is massively detrimental to the team. I would prefer to have fewer players on the field.

He had a shocker but he does that on a regular basis he has turned out to a really bad signing and I think the Tigers would have been relived when he left

He generally does this when we are down a couple of top players. When the whips are cracking he is useless, he tends to lift and play better when the players around him dominate but he can't lead a forward pack and is nowhere near the enforcer some people make him out to be. For the money we paid for him he isn't worth any of it, he is a reserve grader at any top 4 club..

He was supposed to be the straight swap for Addin Fonua Blake. It's pretty clear AFB left huge shoes to fill.

If only we managed to hang on to him we would be a very different side now

I this case I don’t think it would piss off the fans.

I'd like to know what god Josh spends all his time praying to.
Because that god clearly doesn't listen and I'd like to avoid it if I ever become born again.

 

[frank stokes]

This guy’s legacy will be Manly’s worst ever signing.

Nah… Nate Myles has that sewn up…

 

[Daddycool]

I can’t remember the last time he played well enough that, you could realistically say he was worth keeping. All I remember are the missed tackles and niggly bull****, that often leads to penalties. He can spend the rest of the year at Blacktown until he seeks a release.

He wanted out, from what I read.

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Baz turned Manly into a retirement village..

Manly should have Australian Unity as their main sponsor.

God I hope players don't ever in fact read Silvertails.

If you mean homophobic pieces of human refuse, I hope they read every word

Others not so much, the epitome of gutless trying to be tough, even dogged out of fighting with Gallen

 

[Dion Johnson]

Fresh off the bench again today and zero impact, looks like he has played a solid 80 minutes when he came on again today, every run is in slow motion, doesn’t bend the line.

I'm not generally a fan of Aloiai, but I thought his second half was strong. Tough carries, no mistakes. Nothing fancy, but it was one of his better games.

 

[The Who]

I'm not a fan but he played well this afternoon. Credit to him. Strong carries, safe hands and no brain snaps.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Honestly i was just waiting for him to make an error coming of our line.Luckily he didn’t.

Still not worth 600k imo.

Agree. He played controlled agressive. As you said, no handling errors.

That said, Seibs took him off with 5 mins left, so he had no opportunity of dropping the ball

 

[NREagle]

His season so far has been much like Manly's - up and down (but with more down than up).

Needs to get that consistency back in his game that he had a couple of seasons ago.

We would be a much better team for it.

Sometimes wonder if he's not as hungry for success at Manly as he once was...
