Has he got any better in three years since?Because Manly are a better team with Jorge.
He was in the 2013 grand final team that only lost because of Shane Hayne.

His runs are massive for us and he's a priority. He's not as bad as many think. He has been very good the last 3 yearsI still don't get why everyone is putting Jorge in their teams. He's off contract and I doubt a high priority.

Our decade of dominance team had about two locals in it - Choc and King. The Stewart's are Dragons juniors.
Wingers do not have to be great players. They need the finish off back line plays and score try's. Wingers are often the lowest paid in the team. I remember Stewart Davis and Steve Ronson as premiership winning Manly wingers. Jorge is a better player the both those players. He takes pressure off the forwards and can beat a player in a one on one situation.
I agree.My armchair assessment:
He knows how to score a try from close range and does take plenty of hit-ups.
However:
He still comes up with errors that he shouldn't - especially when leaping for the ball and catching bombs. He also seems to give up chasing players after about 30 metres if they break Manly's defensive line.
I also can't remember a try assist from him off the top of my head. If you think of Wolfman, Robertson and Tom Trbojevic recently, they seem to know when to pass, or to put in a deft kick on the inside. I still don't think Jorge has that awareness in his game.
But yes, he is decent... if not great by any stretch. I don't think we should be keeping him on reputation alone.
We did have a CEO who had this club making a profit and playing finals. But u guessed it we sacked him.Just having a conversation with my Dad who's very passionate about Manly and this was his observation in a text....... Our teams of old had passion for the jumper most of the players were locals. That will mainly cease with the departure of Lyons and Brett Stewart leaving only Tom and Jake as locals. Now it's a business and you need smart people to run it. We obviously haven't got them and are going to pay the price with mediocrity the key word in the future. We need a shake out of both board - most players and playing staff and the introduction of a smart thinker such ar Gus Gould who has single handedly turned the fortunes of Penrith around both on the field and in the Panthers Leagues Club which has gone from a sizeable loss 2014- 2015 to a sizeable profit 2015 - 2016. Manly Leagues Club is tired and offers no financial support to the Football Club whatsoever. Only smart bu siness people will save us or we will be unable to survive. SO ENDETH THE LESSON.

Regardless, if Tafua is resigned for three years I'd lose the plot. I don't need three years of panicking every time a kick goes up on his side. No thanks. Give me a winger that is fast, tall and can catch.
Snake might also been done. Saying he's invaluable "when fit" is true but also he's a $600k question we probably can no longer afford to be asking.

Mate calls Brett "Jeep" always breaking down.
I'd have to agree with this 😉Loobs is spot on. You can't have winger that can't catch. It's time to go Jorge !
Bozo is a manly legend don't worry about that! Cancer!? That's news to me.. Where did you hear that from?could someone pls fill me in why he is so hated. I heard he was dying from cancer. What did he do so bad. I am not that old so dont know wat happened back in the days. I think he has done a good job for us this year with recruitment of kapow, walker. AFB and meehan
believe it was his wife who had health issuesBozo is a manly legend don't worry about that! Cancer!? That's news to me.. Where did you hear that from?
although he's probably one of the best players to ever play for the club, i think stewart should finish his career off with a high and end it this year. maybe even rake in some cash over in england for a couple years.I really think Matai and Stewart are gone end of this year
David Ronson....Wingers do not have to be great players. They need the finish off back line plays and score try's. Wingers are often the lowest paid in the team.
