Manly Sign Lawton

[globaleagle]

Are you drunk? I just said he was a good guy.

It's 12 months since I've had a taste of any alcohol....
Just working out if it was worth it.
Lack of headaches - tick
Money - tick
Loss of weight and being healthier - what the hell man....nothing has changed there! booo.
Drive a man to drink it would.

Errr... Welcome Mr Lawton. No drinking when playing for Manly, btw.

How does giving a player away for "free" help your cap space ? If you are paying a player on a contract even if he is at another club it still comes off your cap does it not ?

Because you left out the almost!

If this is true, well done champion, I'm so happy and proud for you mate !

I'm kicking up gears as of Monday with my workouts too. Diet's a big thing. Gonna get back to my regular 10 km up hill runs in 55 minutes. Squash is already booked. Gonna do laps one day a week at the pool.

Api out for 6 weeks with broken wrist. Penrith will loan him to manly for this period.

Probably play better with one arm than what our 9 will offer today, Croker is sadly not up to speed, I can’t understand what Des sees.

I'm sure he is a good guy. I would never question the good guy rating of someone I've never met..
there are so many others here as well. However over the last 6 months the moan level directed at the coach and players has gone the the roof and is becoming painful. Perhaps Ryan was just the last in a long line of posts that pushed my button....
Look at the Gauc situation.... he was all but packed and signed elsewhere by so many who were crying blue murder at Des. But hey presto he's re-signed so his time will come... WHEN HES READY...

Schuster will also get a run when ready.

Ryan is a numbers man, he is great for digging into the numbers and stats - good or bad.
Thats probably what has made him come across as negative.
We all can be.

Go Manly

No showers either?

But if he’s a numbers man then it stands to reason that for every negative post there should be a postive one too!
Y’know the law of averages and that.

Yes! Our stats for the last 14 games are just begging for positive comments.

Time for a refresh on Lawton now he's been named. I am excited by this guy and a little surprised he's back early. I think the team looks stronger with him in it. I hope people don't expect miracles from his so soon but he is an exciting prospect for the rest of the year! Unlucky for Cust but I'm more confident with this team!

I agree, coming back from an Achilles injury will take time.

I'd be surprised if he plays more than 15-30 mins Max tbh

 

[Dion Johnson]

Player number 26 this season for us, hoping he gets some decent game time.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Hard to watch AFB yesterday kill it even in the soaring heat. Over 200m ran, over 90m post contact. 5 tackle breaks and 4 off loads.

Crazy how 8 weeks can change so much. AFB will be lucky to make it back this year and if he does it will be too late for the NZ boys.

 

[Cameron]

poor cust. i doubt he would have played 5/8 as i think des was always going to play josh there. just crap timing for a bloke with a lot a potential

 

[Disco]

Hang on, what have I missed?

 

[Kevinward777]

Hang on, what have I missed?

Cust out injured - Schuster to six - Lawton added to bench - Des got lucky again.

 

[Disco]

Interesting

I think it effects the balance of the team but will be good to see how Schuster and Lawton go

I'd be surprised if that is less than Des hopes that he plays.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Really surprised to see Lawton thrown straight into the team. He must have been doing okay in training though, so good luck to him on his Sea Eagles debut!

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Go son welcome to the Eagles!
