Yeah, in an alternate rugby league universe (aka The Same Day Multiverse), that's a very good start. We'd still need a decent pack, mind you, but throw in AFB and an uninjured/unimprisoned Manase Fainu, and we'd be most of the way there. Sigh. What could have been…
Didnt we finish 15 th with that trio, and api, joel thompson, jakey, marty in decent form. Hopefully my memory is correct.

…. Who was the coach?
fair enough but, while you will never hear me go into bat for trent , he was an excuse for the players who took no personal responsibility
Trents tactics were up for debate but never the less the way the team leaders carried them out on field at times screamed of dissent and immaturity. Trent wasnt All wrong
The kicking game , finding touch, to stop end to end footy constantly, but gaining 3 m kicking from our own half, not trying to position ourselves for a better result and just tick the box. Was that really Trent or footy players ticking the ol KPI boss
Since trent left our team has struggled with very similar issues. Not being able to compete with the ball in play for long periods, fitness, game control. Possession.
Maybe his tactics were crap, maybe he was on to something, but our execution sucked then and still does. We still ooze anxiety with a capital A
That side i mentioned sucked but using trent as THE EXCUSE has always been a big part of the problem as the growth of the TEAM has never really moved on even though the gardener did. Ownership avoided
Trent being crap doesnt excuse the players playing crap also, it was a good team with plenty of the right moving parts and the only data we have that what we are building might work if we ever get invited to a hooker party again.
We fell into a barrel of tits and came up sucking our thumbs and still are somewhat. Des improved them but consistency is not the way Manly play at all and 15 th , **** that could be next year

Gutherson and Tom Trbojevic would have played only two or three games together. Gutherson emerged in 2014 and left at the end of 2015. Turbo started in 2015. Manly came second in 2014 and 9th in 2015. DCE was the half in both seasons
Tom and Clint have never played first grade together.
Clint did his Anterior cruciate in round 1, 2015 season.
Tommy debut was round 5, 2015.

Your resident two-headed Queenslander
Parra have nothing to worry about.
They are paying him overs, so no other team is going to match, let alone pay more.
Another meaningless story

I have a well known member
What a terrible contract for the club though. We'll pay you massive overs AND you can up and leave whenever you want. Fair play to him and his manager on getting that one over the line though.
Maybe he plans on getting dropped. Parra are pretty strong in the lower grades
In saying that lomax was amazing this season and I wish him well
You would have to think the parra CEO and board would be on notice this season. They destroyed last season. If the rebuild and ryles drags its feet fans should boot them out
Nah their fans are used to losing so I doubt they'd be even bothered.
Gutho officially released from the Eels , off to the Goons so the media say.
I wonder what went on behind closed doors did that to happen.
I wonder what went on behind closed doors did that to happen.
I always give **** about Gutho being a sook to the refs and sounding and looking like an 8 year old that’s in the car and begs their mum or dad to get maccas and watching them drive straight past it telling you that their is food at home but I truly feel sad for the fans that weren’t able to give a proper goodbye/farewell, especially the little kids whose favourite player was him, I couldn’t imagine if that was us with Turbo and no supporters got their chance to do a proper farewell.
The nhl do it well in that when a player comes back against their former team, that team will do a short montage with a voiceover and the fans get to applaud, etc.
Though in Rugby league (or maybe it's an aussie thing) the fans just want to boo like jerkasauras as when Brooks played against the tigers.
They allow $1 contracts so players can 'retire' with the team they played at the most:
And if you don't think the players like it - then Horvat's emotion should set you straight.
Anyway, I agree.
Like Jorge Taufua seemed to disappear - it's a pity for the fans.
