Taufua: Two year contract extension.

[Kevinward777]

He is not a has-been just yet.

Switched on as always Terry.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I try. And no offense intended.

 

[KNUCKLES]

He has been a lot better this year.
I have heard this will be his last year in the NRL

ESL?

 

[Pepi]

ESL?

I have heard that his knees are giving him grief and he will retire. Still only 27 so would be a shame for him to go out like that.

None taken mate.

Knees, wasn't it that chronic shoulder injury

Jorge was really involved in early hit ups the middle today.
Suli could learn to do the same

solid.. one of us.

Both knees iced 😱

Had a cracking game today. Great post contact mts

Explains the slowing up this year I guess.

You can see the struggle he is having every time he plays the ball. I feel for him

Love it when old Jorge performs ...just something about him we fans love .... and we usually win when he does perform. No real speed but with Walker Garrick and now TT back the speed issue is not so pressing.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

There is also the forgotten man, Brendan Elliott. Remember him?

 

[bob dylan]

I have never once criticised him.

Just laughed at those that have ridiculed him.

9 times out of 10 his defensive reads have been caused by those inside him not doing their job or simply being out played.

Nothing but admiration from me for a very good Manly winger who has given great service.

Couldn’t agree more. He’s one of my favourite players. Take away his 150 odd metres a game that he achieves most weeks and someone else has to do the hard yards out of our own end. Great finisher to boot.

An absolute Manly champion for a long time who won us many a game. Hang your head in shame those who have knocked him.

I said to the wife yesterday that what he lacks in pace he more than makes up for in so many other ways. They are starting to kick away from him now because of his great carries.

Great to see them kicking away from him, acknowledging that he's not the liability he once was. There was a time when kicking to Jorge would mean a 50-50 chance of getting the ball back. I can't remember the last time he's actually dropped it from a kick this year!

There was never a time when kicking the ball to him was a 50/50 chance at getting it back.

Come on, let's not pretend that the last few seasons didn't happen...
