That's it, keep us all grounded champion.

Under the radar

 

[Mataiforever]

Give me Jake T or Cordner any day of the week.

And yes I agree with Bob, Woods is willing and capable but he's not the messiah of front rowers.

woods is average and has been for years. his main quality is that he keeps going and going... which should be a standard quality at nrl level. hes the least threatening prop skill wise and running wise i think

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Lot of criticism here for Woods but he has strengths to his game that most others don't. He doesn't bring the hard edge and intimidation of JWH (who does?!) but he runs many metres, has an offload, tackles, bends the line with his size, and plays decent minutes for a big man. Plus he seems reasonably intelligent, doesn't give away stupid penalties.
To say he is average is pretty odd, not sure who you all think is superior to him really.

I saw two balls hit a girl on the
chin and she stayed on.
Graham needs to harden up.

Is that you Wally?

There should be room for both or someone is miss managing our cap.

I agree. There is likely room for both over the next two years. But then you need to upgrade the Turbos. That is going to be very far from cheap. Based on their current form and rate of improvement I'd suggest that in two years time when we go to resign them Tom would be near enough to 900k+ per season while Jake would like be $800k+ per season. That is a sizeable upgrade for both.

So whilst there is room for both now, there may not be in the future. Having said that, you do lose the dead weight in Myles and Brown which helps. Regardless, it will be tight (dependent on how many brown paper bags Penn can scratch up).

Wade Graham just extended his contract with the Sharks for another 2 yrs.

Even with the upgrade of the turbos we should have plenty of room unless our cap is being grossly mismanaged.
2018 is Walkers last contracted year aswell, Happy for Manly to let him walk a year early if they can find someone else.

Woods would be better off in a good side, like us, as seen in origin. The Tigers don't offer that, come to manly woods.

I disagree, I would only be OK with this if it were for jack bird. Walker is a much better player at centre, only bad game this year was bunnies game as expected, plenty of pressure, however if he has more of these performances than he has to go, a class act otherwise

 

[Sookie]

I didn't think Graham would ever leave the sharks.
Not many will now unless they are forced out

I would rather have a player likely Kelly at an 1/8th of the price then walker

Yes, and personally I agree. Although I think walker is just too good of a player to risk losing in order to get another one of these players. Uate you could also say is a cheap quality addition. You'd much rather have walker playing for your side than against

 

[nightster]

One of the most over-rated pretenders in the comp

he is having another very good game for the gummies right now
