Plenty on here hate him - but I rate him as 1 of the best forwards in the NRL.
IF the other brothers are shopped out and move on, which is highly probable and may get disgruntled, would he be near a perfect fit at Manly....probably dreaming a bit here but with how crazy some signings are in the modern game and not many UNcontracted players better than we already have....would be the BK type signing if it did happen.

 

[bob dylan]

Yep. A great player.

As a lock @maxta ?

Agree though he can carry a team when they start swiching off, he would make us an 80 min team.

 

[bringbackbeaver]

When is he off contract?

When is he off contract?

End of 18 i think.

How many games a year would we lose to suspensions with him and Marty

 

[bringbackbeaver]

Yep just checked and that's correct. If we got him for 2019 he would have just turned 30.. could get him for 3 years. Type of player that would make a massive difference for us. If they punt one or two of his bros, he might consider leaving, who knows.

 

[MadMarcus]

He is also above the law. I always wanted one of those in our team.

 

[tookey]

We tried that once before and ended up only with uLke

Lock would be the go mate.
Just has so much energy - not only a top player - has that ability to lift his mates and has a real presence about him.
