Don't forget to add Tom to that list tooYup no one but Matt Parcell, if Parcell can stay on the field for longer provided no major injuries occur then maybe some of our other players will learn it too.

yeah I have the same thoughts re Uate. Boyd was horrible there. EVERYONE has been horrible there. I see a potentially very good signing in Uate.Yes but I'm stuck on the fact that Darius Boyd returned to form after being poor at Newcastle with a poor side there. I think Uate could do the same. Boyd was not wanted by Broncos fans and look at what he's become again. The thing I don't like whatsoever is that buhrers name has even been thrown up into the air with a possible swap to Newcastle. Pathetic the way we've been treating some of our players that put their body on the line week after week. If manly do infact release him you can expect me to get a few more of those dummy spit ratings that's for sure
Did you say disgrace? I started this thread about the off season market, not Nate Myles...Jake would be lethal with some offloads In him!
As for Jamil, well he is an absolute bulldozer and if he can adjust to the NRL and still play close to as tough as he does in the lower grade then we will be the most intimidating pack in the NRL, especially if Matulino is signed. Both Hoppa and Tapau on each side would be something special if he does play similar than he currently does.
I know nothing about this Matagi, Turbo1 and I can't bothered to look him up.Matagi is the purrfect replacement for Vave, plus Matagi doesn't have stupid defence lapses and can play long minutes unlike Vave. Matulino I view as a backrow option as it would allow Jake to prop.

Well he is a former warrior and rooster, and a Samoa and NZ international in 2013-2014. 27 years old. 107 kg and 179 cm. I've watched him a fair bit and was keen on him before panthers got him. He was really good off the bench at roosters making big metres and solid tackles as he is doing at Penrith, he is like JWH with out all the dirty stuff. Intimidating forward. Has a good offload also. Will be good impact off the bench if we use him correctly which is running it hard and tackling hard.I know nothing about this Matagi, Turbo1 and I can't bothered to look him up.
Please provide me with a rundown.
Appreciated.
I had mixed feelings with Jake moving back to prop, I felt that if he did that his minutes would be reduced but if you throw the possibility of Matulino and Tapau both at second row then yes I would be very happy for him to move back there. Plus we have so many props at the moment (especially if Matagi is signed) and would need to have reduced minutes for the starters in that position. So I would see that squad with a bench like this...Matagi is the purrfect replacement for Vave, plus Matagi doesn't have stupid defence lapses and can play long minutes unlike Vave.

Willis will be there abouts maybe not next year as starting 17 but in 2018 for sure was the best young forward in the game and if he finds his feet he will be the best manly has made ever for sure he was that good depends on if can bring it back before his stint. Don't worry about Jake getting limited minutes in 2015 he was starting prop playing 60 mins and towards the end 80, he will get more minutes at prop.I had mixed feelings with Jake moving back to prop, I felt that if he did that his minutes would be reduced but if you throw the possibility of Matulino and Tapau both at second row then yes I would be very happy for him to move back there. Plus we have so many props at the moment (especially if Matagi is signed) and would need to have reduced minutes for the starters in that position. So I would see that squad with a bench like this...
14. Addin Fonua-Blake (prop)
15. Suaia Matagi (prop)
16. Brenton Lawrence (prop)
17. Jamil Hopoate (second row, to come on for Matulino who will tire at around the 60 minute mark)
Not too sure if that is too many props, if so then I would put Api there.
As for Willis Meehan, I was tossing up as to what prop he should replace on the bench but I feel he will make this side only once one or two of these props are injured.
Ta man. Geez physically he's a stump...Well he is a former warrior and rooster, and a Samoa and NZ international in 2013-2014. 27 years old. 107 kg and 179 cm.

Yeah Moa is what his build is accept unlike Moa he has probably still got longer to go.Ta man. Geez physically he's a stump...
Sounds a bit like Moa.
He played different to other props in 2015. He was more of a ball player, offloaded and linked up a lot with the other forwards putting them through holes. Trust me he won't be used as a battering ram and if Barrett does do that it will be pretty sad to watch jakes career go to dust as another victim of Barrett but it won't happen Jake is too good and will not become another plain old prop.I must be missing something..I don't for the life of me see Jake as a prop. Seems a waste of talent using him as battering ram. He's too skillful for that and not big enuff imo I reckon he's a lock/2nd rower. He can still be plenty involved in attack but can help out our rubbish defence on the edges with his textbook defence that makes me smile every time he chops off someone's legs lol

Question that needs to be asked is given the League's attitude toward Jamil's rehab, I suspect he is still off contract.
Good point but the club sees him as the future as they tried to debut him in 2016.Question that needs to be asked is given the League's attitude toward Jamil's rehab, I suspect he is still off contract.
Get use to him in a Manly jersey he has a future at this club in first grade. He has done the time for his crime, he deserves his chance.I'd rather stick a peeled Trinidad Scorpion chili up my bum than cheer for Jamil in a Manly jersey.
Na - he'll be gone soon enough. Trouble follows people like this around.Get use to him in a Manly jersey he has a future at this club in first grade. He has done the time for his crime, he deserves his chance.
