Parker started the year injured so has to fight back again.

He is still playing in the 20's, about 9 months (or a season) younger than Kelly.

I would think its him and Matt Wright as our preferred cover options

 

[Woodsie]

Parker is a goodun. He will surpass most peoples expectations.

 

[tookey]

Walker is a superstar. Is already the best centre in the game right now. It's scary to think how good he will get once he gets to Roberts' age.

Damn you got me. Dlyan Walker. Dylan's ugly brother.

I will back Kelly long term over James Roberts.

I keep saying it, but his footwork and balance really is a joy to watch.

 

[Kevinward777]

Kelly appears to be an instinctive footballer, great feet and good awareness of the players inside and outside of him. Makes good yardage doing the tough stuff as well. Reminds me in some ways of Dane Gagai. Seems in no way overawed or out of his depth at NRL level, exciting prospect.

They are talking about dubbing Ben Roberts

Oh my there is some danger there

He seems so slight and in predictable

Black board

Hurry up
Hurry up
shoos you lot
Just let Kelly turn into one of our stars

Snail

Yes
We have not got time to wait until Roberts fail to realise we are wrong

Disclaimer
Flew out to manilla straight after the tits victory and just logged on and our dollar buys lots of pesos and alcohol

Had a 5.2 earth quake in the last hour but missed it as I was having a massage and concentrating on the now moment

Go manly
Roberts will not work

You must be his red headed brother

You must be his red headed brother

Close enough.

 

[Rynostradamus]

No need for any new backline signings. Look at the attacking stats this year we are braining it. Roberts is not a good fit for our club. We should be upgrading walker, kelly and hastings contracts and keeping this side together.

From the Telegraph:

EAGLES NAB KIWI TRYO
MANLY will boost their depth by signing former Junior Kiwis forward Toafofoa Sipley to a two-year deal from next season. The 22-year-old prop made his NRL debut last year, playing two games. His move could be fast-tracked to the Sea Eagles should Manly confirm Nate Myles’ mid-season departure to Melbourne.

Good depth signing.

May be an absolute masterstroke

Warriors fans I know will be absolutely furious, they can't understand why he isn't playing NRL right now

Apparently about 6'1", 114kg and very aggressive, hopefully we can nab his brother too

Here is a snippet from a match report a couple of weeks back

Sipley was outstanding in his 49 minutes on the field against the Bears, producing eight searching carries for 93 metres, a bulldozing try, when he carried defenders with him, and a team-high 34 tackles without a miss

What's a tryo?

It's the thing they do before they go for goalo😉

Good player but closer to 108kgs than 114 unless still growing,not a massive unit but really strong.Think his brother is closer to 114kgs.

 

[cava2323]

Hows the big bopper we signed mid season going in the 20s? From the tigpies if memory serves me right.

Without seeing the game its hard to tell but seems a young defensive prop rather than attacking from those stats - 8 carries in 49 minutes is nothing great but 34 tackles is.

Hopefully he is a defensive prop, this is my worry with the current guys if we loose Myles and BJ.

He is a good allrounder on both sides of the ball,stats mean little sometimes,maybe bears had a lot of possession that game?8 carries for 93 metres is pretty good depending on circumstances.I agree though,need defensive minded players as well,like Bainbridge...

 

[KNUCKLES]

Hope to see him in the colours this year!
