omnipotent beings discussion

Well thank TFSM we got to some common ground. I suspect many will have a good laugh at the last hour if they manage to find it.
I'm off to bed (where I won't worry in the slightest about whether or not I will end up in hell )

Always good chatting with you Muzz...

interesting this morning to see a lot of chatter about Folau making a return to Rugby league.

Bongos and Rooters are the front runners (due to having no salary cap)

But i pose the question - would we benefit from making a play for him? Where would he fit in?

And the ultimate conundrum - who would you prefer - Walker or Folau? (loaded question there!)

I'm on the fence here. I do believe Folau to be one of the most talented outside backs I have ever seen. He can catch, he can make a break, and he can KICK in general play.

Thoughts?

 

[HappilyManly]

ARLC has already announced that he won't be registered

But we have a Folau in our lower ranks already

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

For football reasons yes. He is an incredible athlete whom has all the skills.

For respect of your fellow humans no, and never to play for our great club, whom wouldn’t be disrespectful enough to ever contemplate it. Saying people are going to hell because of their sexuality is extremely offensive to the gay community and sponsors would drop away like flies.

Sydney is home to many gay and lesbian folks. I happen to have many work colleagues whom are openly gay. In this day and age you just cant spread such hate and expect that no one will care what you say.

And Ian Roberts says hi.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Greenburg would never let it happen.

 

[chuckee]

Yes, yes and yes. He is an upper echelon athlete. I’d be thrilled to have him for a few years.
It was only Peter beatoff that came out and said he wasn’t welcome but he that goose isn’t important and is out of touch with the game.

 

[Harmless27]

I just want to reiterate - I am not saying that he is necessarily someone i WANT in the team for his personal views. So please don't mistake this with me supporting his opinions.

Those of you who have read my posts also know I believe we (Manly) should be a bit more 'elite' in terms of the players we are willing to have play for us (i know many disagree).

I am purely posing the question from a football perspective.

If we apply morals/ethics or business sense, we would never contemplate him*.

*we would also sack a number of our current players.

As for Beatoff - I rate his opinion as highly as Greenturd. SO he is welcome not to comment on this thread!

Why bring controversy to the club? Safer option is locally bred Will.

Izzy is over football, this saga is his way to get out and take the cash.
He wont sign anywhere.

Izzy went for the $$$ in each career move with the AFL,ARU

Also hasn't tackled since 2008

Next stop will be Hillsong, preaching to the converted

I can see how some may be offended ... I think he is a goose for believing in hell .... it would only be a short stint before he gets banned from NRL ..

 

[MissKate]

Big fat NO, his bigoted views have just lost him a big pay check and the church must be pressurising him to go and find them some more cash. Nothing but a mercenary, there are far more worthy ‘team’ players around.

After so long away from league, languishing in the cotton wool of afl and union, I doubt he will be that good anymore

 

[master blaster]

Greenburg would never let it happen.

Unless it was at the Dogs

All this drama and hatred for a delusional happy clapper posting silly cliched memes saying sinners are going to hell .... thank goodness he didn't get bombed to the eyeballs and violently carry out a home invasion threatening to kill a woman while bashing a man half his size in front of his traumatised child ......

Im with ya @Woodsie

But again - I asked the question purely on football ability.... people can't seem to differentiate their opinions?

He has played at the highest level of League and Union. He is only 30. He would likely to the most successful winger/centre of the modern era if he had stuck with league. He hasn't tackled in 5 years.... but he also hasn't BEEN tackled. So injury and impact injuries are minimal...... Considering some of the players we throw around who have had THREE knee reco's and never play SOO or for Australia (yes, i am talking about GUTHO)... i can't help but find it ironic.

It's interesting how Folau can't get a start anywhere yet the NRL is pumping Haas and Ramadan and his sob stories down our throats.

 

[ricardo]

Simply couldn't afford him, all other matters aside.

 

[Tomay]

He will only be registered if he plays for the Broncos or maybe the Roosters. They are the only teams with enough power to make Greenberg consider it.

 

[Budgie]

No.

 

[maxta]

Manly need to continue the policy of signing players other NRL clubs don't want....as only the sides with poor rosters like Roosters, Souths and Broncos can continue to afford the star players.
