Manly forwards 2017......

[Heckenberg]

Buzz mentioned today, an on contract Panther forward, about to be squeezed out? Didn't say who.

send leilani latu our way thanks. exactly what we need

 

[madmax]

So based on 'rumors' we could choose our starting pack from the following in 2017.......
Proctor
Lussick
Taupau
Sironen
Trbojevic
AFB
Matagi
Myles
Lawrence
Brown
Lane
Hopoate
Winterstein
Bainbridge

 

[Chip and Chase]

End of this year, doing pre season with first grade then back with the 20s what I heard

The article I was referring to was this one from August last year

http://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2015/08/18/manly_make_wright_si.html

right at the bottom of that it has the following

Re-signed

Tony Satini (1 year)

Billy Bainbridge (2 years)

Brad Parker (2 years)

Given that Satini has been moved on I would assume those time frames were based around this season, so Bainbridge has another year to run.

F MATEO... ????
T SYMONDS... F WINTERSTEIN

So we’ve lost / released Vave, Starling, Burgess from our Prop rotation & have Willis Meehan & possibly Charlie Faingaa (Blacktown Workers signing) as replacements plus Taupau & Trbojevic can play prop!!

We’ve lost / released Buhrer, Green, Leary, Kelly, Knight, Mateo & Symonds & signed Sironen, Lane plus have Bainbridge, Hopoate & Winterstein. I don’t think we’re any worse off than this year. Sironen & Lane will be great. Winterstein hasn’t been given an opportunity to show what he’s got. Hopoate & Bainbridge are future stars I think. I’m sure Bozo still has an ace or two up his sleeve!!

 

[nightster]

add Richard Coorey as a depth forward backup 2nd row or lock

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

add Richard Coorey as a depth forward backup 2nd row or lock

Is he at Blacktown???

 

[nightster]

yep according to a previous post re Blacktown signings ... I'll try to find it


think it was from a Smokin Joe Thread

 

[Freagle]

Hm - liking what I see there...kind of like Mark O'Meley when he runs, but soft hands as well as an off-load under pressure. May well be a good pick-up!

We've got better forwards than last year plus Marty and Darcy are coming into their prime years, that showed last year, excellent buys from Bozo.

 

[double hoops]

I am hearing James Fisher-Harris is the forward who may get release by the Riff.

 

[double hoops]

Also Toni Satini has a train and trail contract back at the riff.

 

[Blowfly]

I am hearing James Fisher-Harris is the forward who may get release by the Riff.

If so, I hope we are all over it! Gun, young forward with a huge future.

[The Who]

Unfortunately I don't think any of the newly-signed forwards will be as good as the one we sacked - Liam Knight.

Knight has done nothing to warrant that yet plus he had enough chances to show he was good but didn't. He acted like a dickhead and deserved to be sacked.

1. You obviously have never watched him play.
2. Since when was "being a dickhead" a reason to be sacked by Manly? The current administration single out these type of players for recruitment!

 

[Woodsie]

Was Knight sacked?

From reading the posts at the time I thought it was more a case of we didn't fight too hard to keep him.

I watched him play under 20s and nsw cup but that alone is not going to show how he performs in FG. And do you realise how many chances this guy has had.

 

[The Who]

do you realise how many chances this guy has had.

Not as many as Jamil, and he is being touted as our great hope.

I watched one NRL game of Liam's, and from the 10-15 mins he was on, he gave away a penalty and dropped the ball twice. He has potential but not NRL standard yet
