    It's a matter of opinion of course. Latrell, that's a strong side you named above. Interesting selection choice of coaches too.. For mine though, I would pick Sofoloi ahead of Angus (despite the Catchpole) as he takes the line on more than Angus. Matt Swann is a good choice too. As for Preston...

    Wasn't aware of those two signings. Have made the changes accordingly.

    I'll bite RV. I went for unsigned guys to Super Rugby as that is generally the criteria for the Sydney team. Dane Marakai Scott Podmore Nick Lah Adam Coleman Liam Winton Trent Dyer Will Brame Lopeti Timani Mick Snowden Rohan Soifoloi Corey Brown Damien Fakafanua Jesse Leota Richard Hooper...

    Foley did real well with the marquee playing halfback he signed for the Tahs!!!

    The highlights reel was an embarrassment. It just showed him kicking goals. Yet another reward for mediocrity in rugby in this country. WHEN WILL WE EVER STOP KICKING?

    Good on Bladesy for winning it. No question he has done a great job. Would be interesting to see how he and the likes of Fava would have gone without a blank cheque book behind them! Christini still wins it for mine

    3. I do know why he is moving on.......do you? 4. Blooded more young blokes than Warringah what other clubs in bottom 6 benefitted from the return of the rockstars? Besides, I believe you missed my point, Warringah were lowly placed all year, only finished in top 8 because the got back a...

    Happy to stand corrected. Unless Warringah told furfies on their team sheets, which I seriously doubt, then the games played for the Rats 9 were as follows: ROUND NAME 1 DONLAN 2 DONLAN 3 DONLAN 4 DONLAN 5 DONLAN 6 DONLAN 7 DONLAN 8 HOLMES 9 HOLMES 10 DONLAN 11 DONLAN 12 DONLAN 13 DONLAN...

    yes Jordy was a Manly junior, but I can assure you, he was very close to going to another club. VERY close. No prizes for guessing which one either.

    ILTW..............love your parochialism for the green slime of Warringah. Lord knows they need all the help they can get. But seriously, I'll have what you're having if you seriously think: Donlan played 1st grade for most of the season Warringah were a better team than Parra Sam Harris...

    I'm glad you asked Ryan. And to put it out there from the start, I am somewhat biased as I helped Manly get Jordy Reid a few years back. I think it would be hard to go past him for rookie. As for coach, I think Christini is a real chance. The votes were due in before the semi's started and for...

    Keep it up Ryan. I spent part of the game on Sunday with your GM. He was clearly disappointed in the performance but I couldn't but help but think this is just the start of his plans. And I have to say, you brought a great crowd down to the seaside for the game.......was fantastic to see. Well...

    Correct. Dingo wanted Hoops to have some game time prior to first Bledisloe and he wanted it in Sydney comp. Andy Fagan wouldnt release him from Brumbies. Petty.

    Briggs has wanted out for over a year. He interviewed at Easts for this year and I also hear he made himself available to another western sydney club. Any news on his replacement at Penrith? They will need to get the appointment right. Briggs will be taking his significant cash with him

    I too was there as my nephew is a Norths 4th grade player. Whilst I wasnt out on the field while the discussion were taking place, I can confirm the match day controller was and he was bringing the small crowd in attendance up to date on the discussions that were taking place. Plus the Norths...

    I don't have an issue with any of that. The point I was trying to make was that even the biggest club may have over spent their budget. Ole Two Blue made an interesting comment about having $500k at their disposal. Despite their clear struggles in recent times, it appears the Two Blues might...
