It's Ryan's attempt to nickname Boyle.
You will notice if you look carefully that he is essentially alone in this endeavour.
I much prefer Susan anyway!

He played pretty well v nullanulla too.
It would appear that the club has offloaded players to free up cash, I'm hearing we have cut around $350K (so other than Tangles we have let some others go?) plus we have access to another $93K from NRL (Walker). So we have say $450K. Who's around that is worth $420-$430K - need to keep $20K for payments to players brought up to NRL from outside top 30.
For me he'll be know as Behemoth, because that is the adjective journos kept using to describe his size when it was announced he was joining Manly.I much prefer Susan anyway!

The 93k from Walker's debacle can only be used on a "like for like" player apparently, so can't be used on a forward, so that leaves 350k to spend on a forward. I suspect Des is looking for a back anyways, but I could be wrong.
Taufua, suli, Parker, funa, walker, hodko are all off contact, so if u can get the player you want this year but can't the next, it would make sense bringing in a back. That's my thinking behind it anywayHope it is not a back, I think the squad is back heavy atm

That is 29 excluding Tangles. 11 of those covering the back 5 positions then 10 players covering 8 forward positions (prop, backrow, 8 bench forwards)......a few forward injuries and we would be extremely short
Quite a few people enjoyed it for what it was. Sorry.It's Ryan's attempt to nickname Boyle.

How about Boo as in Radley. A gentle giant whose more than a match for the bad guy when needed.Bo for short?
Hate how we bag the players as soon as they leave or sign elsewhere. Tanginoa was great. Up tempo.Desus knows which players we need to progress in our premiership mission .
When players are signed by the ESL and not the NRL says something

Unfortunately tainted by injury.
But he had the goods and traits to be amazing. As was still so young. We've just lost Sipley for the season, and we release Tanginoa.
I don't get it. Not the greatest decision. Especially if Boyle (who got VERY limited time against The Sharks, which says a lot from Des) is now the next cab off the rank. Ability wise, The Magic Pudding is possibly the worst I've seen in a Manly jersey. Let's hope he improves like all you say.
I was travelling yesterday arvo and listened to the game on ABC radio, I’ve recorded it so will watch later today.
I much prefer Susan anyway!
