If we get Staines give him a shot at 1 and get Laurie to partner Hastings in the halves..
Sign some players and administrators that can drive and enforce some standards and stop making excuses.
Close enough has been good enough for too long. Especially with some near final misses in the years leading up to the two previous ones.
in fact the last two years are a culmination of this mentality.
Performances from you employees like today should not be tolerated full stop. There are no excuses for that. Playing professional sport is a privilege. If your staff do not understand that, replace them with people that will.
Then those people must be taught to maintain standards of performance and have those enforced on them.
However, all this only happens when the board and CEO have standards enforced on them. It starts at the top!

They sack anyone who drives standards. Scared they might figure out how inept management is otherwise.

If we were to try this it would need to be with Laurie training there the entire offseason to give him best chance. No way douhie allows/accepts that, or brooks for that matter. I also think you need better than staines to make this work. Sualli, tedesco or Manu at 1 then sure.
@helmesy liddle for blake lawrie.
Correct
Happy with this.
He would be a great signing for us but we still need someone with that bit of mongrel in our forward pack.
True and someone with X factor in the backs

If Brooks and Doueihi don’t accept that then let them go - no loss.
Joffa 3 years extension.

Thank goodness some sanity: Joe Ofahengaue signs contract extension until at least the end of 2025
Next task is to get Hastings re-signed beyond 2023.

I was chatting to joffa on Sunday and he is so committed to this club.

Finally some good news
In the final wash-up, Joffa and Pole are the only forwards who made consistent positive contributions this season.
Would Manly look at offloading Cherry Evans ?
could we look something like
13. Hastings
9. Api
7. Cherry Evans
6. Brooks
1. Douhie
In the final wash-up, Joffa and Pole are the only forwards who made consistent positive contributions this season.
I expect Joffa to get Player of the year and Pole Rookie of the year tonight!

Just need Jackson Hastings to re-sign.
