Worst Big Name Signing

[Kevinward777]

He was ok. Our pack then was disgraceful. We had players like
Horo
Luke burgess
Dynamis lui
Mateo
Mason

So fortunate that Toovey was the coach of that side and finished ninth. If Barrett was given the same squad to coach, we’d have our first wooden spoon.

Man with beard?

The Son of The Bearded Lady ??

What was the trainer with the beard called?

Dan Ferris.
Worst signing in my book too, especially considering Donny Singe’s return got me more excited than Desus!

Hugh Waddell RIP was one of the worst

Storm only took him if we were paying .

I get that there is the rule behind that.....though I don't think its right. Once a player is gone from a club and goes to another then that should end the original clubs responsibility for paying that player.

Sure, Manly have benefited from that at times with other clubs paying the bulk of a players contract for a year or whatever. But I don't think its right.

If I owned a company and one of my employees left to join a rival company for some reason be it more money or they just wanted a new challenge in their lives, then would I have to pay their salary for a year? Why should I have to? Their new salary should be paid for by their new employer.

Oh yeah ,I definitely get ya.
Unfortunately ,for some reason ,our game has so many unreasonably stupid loop holes.
I honestly believe countries such as Venezuela,Haiti,North Korea,Sudan & Saudi Arabia could learn some more tricks of corruption from our game.

Craig Field was woeful .

Arguably the least deserving of our Grand Final players. In one way its good that he's not one of our premiership winners.....as much as I hated losing that day and still hate it.

I have never seriously disliked a Manly player.....except Craig Field.

Nate Myles for sure..
