Wellington Hurricanes are chasing him. I agree, he'd be a great signing but wouldn't come cheap.Whats wrong with manlys recruiting strategy. That nelson is off contract and could be anything. Manly shouls be getting rid of the dead woof and throwing good coin at talent like that

Punt Snake before Thursday and get Tedesco in by then as well and we're set!😀Geez tedesco is dangerous. Put him in origin. Would love him at the back at Manly when snake retires
Jared Maxwell has a keen eye for a penalty but not for a forward pass: The last thing the Tigers needed as they were getting blown away in the first half was a Storm try off a blatant forward pass but that’s what happened in the 24th minute when Cooper Cronk put Tohu Harris away. Maxwell had been all over the Tigers and blown plenty of penalties but he kept the whistle in the pocket on the forward pass and the Storm charged to a 20-0 lead. The try was sent to the bunker to see whether Harris had lost the ball into a Tigers defender but they can’t rule on forward passes so the try stood.

Wrong thread @Mark from Brisbane - Broncs getting a new flogging in Rd 17 😀
Seriously, in this modern era with technology as it is, and going to the bunker almost every single time there "could" or "could not" be a try surely you'd think we could rule on forward passes.
Just as much as they make an "objective view" on the obstruction rule why can't they be objective about a forward pass.
Soooooo many teams get screwed by try's scored off blatant forward passes, and to think the bunker can't look at this is ridiculous to say the least.
I thought it was interesting that at the ...65th minute mark the roosters make a charge down the right hand side only for it to be brought back for a forward pass.
Now it was easily forward.
But the poor old touch judge (who looked a bit like paul mcgregor) couldn't keep up with the play and missed it. Luckily the ref was in line.
So if the ref wasn't in line....the touchie would not have signalled it.
It's kind of a crappy situation.
I don't know what the answer is (faster touchies? - more touchies [ugh]) but I then think of the bunker not being able to rule on forward passes.
I understand the illusion of travel due to differing angles but I can't see why the nrl doesn't just allow the bunker to have a look at it and if it's obvious, make a ruling, if not just say they don't know?
About 10,000 bigger issues in the nrl at the moment, I agree.
Ha, when I talk people listen!!I said the exact same thing here: @Mark from Brisbane
