Zak Hosking, Frizell, to Manly please

[Eagledare2dream]

The Mule that's who we need, Tyson for a year or 2, might B a change he needs before we bring in Navale. Same height same size, and for cheap train & trial deal.

The Frizz shot himself in the foot by going to Drugcastle. He could have been something special at a better team and with better coaching, IMO.

Interestingly, I think Pinga has similarly handcuffed his potential by tying his career to the same loser team

 

[Eagledare2dream]

Sad to say I agreed

 

[Disco]

Neither are off contract.

Why would Frizell leave a handsome contract to go sign a train and trial deal?

 

[LeonardCohen]

Friz is a has been IMO. Getting very old and we have enough old heads. Hosking reminds me a bit of Ben T; maybe it’s that they look similar. Hosking has a great offload in him.

 

[maxta]

Need forward additions but not sure they Top the list
Still appreciate the thread, as it's an area needing much improvement and if we could get the Frizzell from 5 years .... maybe even 3 years ago would be perfect
I feel some quicker, younger middles would be ideal

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

I did see something about Frizell considering his future at the Knights, so he may be available. I actually think he's still an excellent player and would add him to our Dad's Army forwards in a heartbeat if the deal was right.

Zac was a late bloomer by NRL standards. Good player who on his day can bat well above is average.

He has an option in his contract for 2026 and Gagai also, I guess they're trying to release players for Brown.

Lets be clear I would always be a fan of Jnr Mule however I am not sure that would be the best use of our limited $

As for Friz I used to love him but when you play as hard as he does it has to catch up at sometime

 

[Nambawan]

Sign Frizelle -= Noooooooo! Has not passed ball for ages. Prime example of a bash and barge player -= not suited to present day NRL. Too old anyway.

 

[Rafferty]

Young Mule would be a great signing, his an absolute work horse, it’s a no thanks to Tyson.

On Zac, even though his under contract, I doubt he’d want to come to Manly, pretty sure I can recall him talking about his future just before leaving the Riff, he was very calculated towards were his future was best served, he nominated the Raiders as where he wanted to play to give himself the best shot at a premiership, from memory he had options at the time before choosing to sign with the Raiders.

I'd say the same for Tom and Jake.

The Mule seniors partner has mutual friends so will be meeting him at a Xmas in July get together in a few weeks. Isz, I will pass on your best wishes.

Fair comment, Bob

It's sad but true.

We are so close to being Parramatta there is virtually no difference.

Can you thank him for when I snuck into the front bar of the Steyne hotel as a 14 year old and he stopped drinking his tooheys old long enough to sign a coaster for me?

Will do. I snuck into the steyne as a 16year old with some mates and the bar maid asked if we were under age. My mate said yes and we were booted 🫣

 

[Peter C]

I'd say the same for Tom and Jake.

Our record would be a LOT better if Tom was available more often, 158 games in 11 seasons is not good.

Not a bad idea. I mean takeako is our best prop at the moment.
