Watmough ... You reap what you sow !

[Beaver boy]

Absolute bollocks. Watmough is sucking up. He knows they will cop a mother of a hiding vs Manly this week and he's been made to rue his attack on the club.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

well everyones favourite footballer is on the couch with sterlo tonight,make of that what you will,are the lovefest will continue

He had Foran on the other week, what odds Hasson to bob up on the couch in the next couple of weeks.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Glad he forced 2v to release him early and his broken body is not sitting on our sidelines

Though in fairness, it was broken by many years of wholehearted service to the Manly cause.

Interesting perspective on Choc from The Daily Telegraph with their 'Players on their last chance in 2016'. I know he is long gone as a Manly player, but it is the off season so I thought it was worthy of a post!

Anthony Watmough

The difference between Manly Anthony Watmough and Parramatta Anthony Watmough was staggering. Manly Watmough was a one man wrecking crew, a machine of a thing who single-handedly made Manly one of the most physical packs in the NRL and who set the tone with his athleticism, power, leg speed and toughness.

Parramatta Watmough is an injury prone old man who drops the ball, crabs across the field and looks like he escaped from the retirement home and stashed his walking stick under the grandstand.

The veteran backrower is on huge bank at the moment and missed the back end of 2015 with a knee injury. There’s two ways this can go — reinvigorated by a full pre-season, Watmough regains some of the fire and turns back into Throwback Watmough, or he continues to crab across field, throw suicidal passes and limp towards an inevitable early retirement. At 32 and with over 300 games under his belt, either a late renaissance or the end of his career awaits Watmough in 2016.

Not many that leave Manly excel elsewhere

Yer I honestly can't see him improving , it was just a stupid move by all parties .

[tookey]

Lussick, Watmough and Hopoate have all been ****e at Parra.

Foran must be eagerly waiting his turn to go to ****e as well.

WORD to that. As he drives to Parra from the Northern Beaches, looking out his WINDOWS, he may now have a new OUTLOOK on life. If only he could ACCESSed a POWERPOINT for his laptop, he could have googled up how **** Parra are. He could have been a club legend, but unfortunately he left here on only ONENOTE, a sour one.

Good god off-season is boring!!!

What is tellingly interesting in that article is that three of the seven players are EX Manly:
Watmough
Hoppa
T-Rex

But they were most scathing in their assessment of Watmough

 

[MadMarcus]

To be fair the ball dropping and crabbing across the field didn't exactly start when he went to Parra...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The greatest recruitment plan ever initiated by Manly.

Oh how we have dodged a bullet there.

 

[Loobs]

I don't understand why people think he could get better again. There is a point where the body is no longer able and he's reached it. He had a full preseason last year and that worked well for one week.

As they say, stick a fork in him - he's done.

 

[SeaEagle21]

3 more seasons to go for him to find that form, hahaha boy that's funny when you say it out loud LOL Parra!!

 

[The Who]

Lussick, Watmough and Hopoate have all been ****e at Parra.

Foran must be eagerly waiting his turn to go to ****e as well.

Gower has been OK, but undoubtedly the big improver will be Hasson, who scored his one and only try for Manly against Doesn'tmatta at Brookie in that soul destroying loss late last season. Guess that try impressed Big Bad Brad.

He's taking his game to a new level !!!

With that said most that leave go to Parra where no player is really any good

This must be what people mean when they say "fork him" and "he can get forked". I've heard quite a lot of people say that about Choc since he left.

My memories of choc at Manly are all good,now he's gone and 22 pages of flogging a dead horse wont bring it back to life,FMD, I thought TREX copped it from this forum but you guys have gotta let the legends go to other clubs with some dignity.Manly have lost some supermen over the years,can you imagine the flogging Fulton would have copped from the Silvertails!!!!

That's the point though, Choc didn't leave with dignity. He made derogatory comments about the club and coaching staff and actively encouraged other players to leave. That is why Choc cops the abuse on here.

Look at how Brent Kite left, no tantrums, no upheaval or disrespect to the club. He is still spoken of in glowing terms here. That is the difference.
