Kobe Hetherington

Let’s see if fogs can get the raiders home

Herthrington’s defence was pretty abysmal today…

 

[frank stokes]

If Hetherington is the answer then it is a pretty sh*t question I reckon…
Apart from the possibility that Tent could play a full season (low possibility but a possibility none the less), I genuinely have no hope that next season is an improvement for us…

Kobe is not being signed as THE answer.

He is a bench/possible starter and will improve our 17.

He is not a marquee but nor has he be signed as one.

Also....love how reactionary people get after a game.

Hetherington is a 1000% improvement on Brbo, Waddell for starters!!!

Point is that he is not an improvement… if the reports are true and his contract is “lucrative” then we are truly cooked as a club…

And this is not a reaction to a single game, if you asked me to pick my top 5 forwards to sign from the broncos, Kobe would not be on my sheet of paper…

I will give you Waddell, but are we really using that as a benchmark for where we want to be as a club?

It is f*cking sad state of affairs that we have reached this point…

Kinda comes across like you’d have many blank sheets of paper mate? Is there actually anyone you do consider a good fit for Manly 😂….

I’ll say this for Kobe, he is well under 30 and goes alright with the potential to go great. No disrespect but our most reason signings have been Nathan Brown and Matt Lodge, both can turn it on for a couple of games but we need players for 26 rounds now.

Agree that he's not being signed as the answer, but he was still poor in defence today. That's not reactionary, just an observation. I think he's a decent signing but he was still shown up today, regardless.

We need a decent prop for a start… Tent is good but massively injury prone…
Our next best is not gonna get us to finals… we just freed up Chez’s contract and we go offer a sh*t-tonne of money to Fogarty and Hetherington instead of tartgetting a prop forward and/or decent hooker…
Ideally we would have had a crack at Terrell May when he was available but we didn’t… my next option would be to go all-in for Tino or, failing that, they could have targeted Josh Kerr who was massive for Phins this year and has just signed with dragoons or even Shia Wong from the rorters… Jayden Brailey or Reed Mahoney would have been improvements at hooker…
We will not be competitive while ever we have a bunch of good backs but no momentum gaining forwards… we have Tent and Guac (and Bully and Burbo are decent bench forwards) but the rest are old men or broken… We have zero creativity at dummy half and Hetherington does not improve any of that…

Agree.

I'm all for people discussing a performance, thats not reactionary its some writing off a signing based on a game.

I think he'll go alright with us but wont in himself be the one to move the needle.

Fogarty coming for money only, Hetherington coming for the Mrs new job. Yeah not really encouraging reasons that they want to play at Manly.

We are beginning to look like Gold Coast in Sydney.
The club where players come to retire for the $$ only or that no other club will sign them.

The only positives about the signings if Fogarty and Hetherington is both players are playing for a team that finished in the top 4 this year. So recruitment has finally started to buy from top teams and not from the bottom teams, ex Tigers. 🤭
