Keppie

Doesn’t seem like it. Stay positive and look after yourself.

BTW, blind Freddie can see why he is dropped. Just read this thread.

Because of Garrick?

Prop: Sean Keppie
Despite having a deal until the end of 2026 could be squeezed out of the club because of salary cap constraints. Plenty of rival clubs already keen after Keppie has been dumped to NSW cup.

We offer Woods an extension, yet are looking at getting rid of Keppie.
We all know Keppie has mistakes at inopportune times, but he is a lot better than Woods.

Bizzare times at Manly currently.

Enough to give @Woodsie a heart attack.

Just crazy, sounds like we are on a retirement home spoon mission

 

[ManEagle]

Absolutely crazy, Woods for Keppie at the same time as letting Fainus go.

Does this effect @Woodsie optimism poll ? If dropping the Kep wasn't bad enough, talking of shifting him should surely have the polster fiddling the polls for a nose dive in optimism.

Def keep him.
About to hit his prime

This is great news imo. The club are making some positive moves and I feel this is one that had to be made. Keppie is a great tackler but also a terrible defender. He has terrific tackling technique but terrible reads and poor in effort areas.
Happy to get his contract off our books

Club needs 30 players. Nothing wrong with having someone with a ton of experience around the team.

I can name 6 players who need to go before Keppie.

Me too but this is still the right decision

Our forwards really need a cleanout. Not sure I'd keep any of them.

I'd keep Jake, Bullemor, Olakau'atu, and Paseka

Yeah I'd Guac.

I'm a bit meh on Bully. Doesnt like the tough stuff. And I feel he will be found out against top packs, or in finals footy.

Really? He's about the only forward other than Jake who has ripped in this year.

Watch him closely in defence bro..
Backs away from contact. Amazing with the ball in hand I'll give him that

Spot on. Also there's no comparison between Keppie and Woods in terms of errors, missed tackles and discipline recently. I can understand Keppie being on the outer and would add that under Des, this wouldn't have happened.

No it’ll be Woods for Boyle , you need some cheapies.

If Keppie leaves it’ll be because we’ve signed another forward.

In my opinion.

Sorry disagree at this stage
Boyle is not signed for 24
Woods is not signed for 24
Keppie is and we likely pay some freight if we get him To walk.
So Woods isn't being signed to replace a player who isn't signed anyway by letting Keppie go Woods is replacing him.

I call bull$hit!

 

[Dion Johnson]

The club are letting go the wrong forward,

Alioia is the underperforming player on good coin, Keppie would be on halve of what Alioia is on and playing better football.
