              • Walker i doubt would have had many suitors. That was simply he wanted back to Sydney and we felt we could use him, leading to just a perfect match and it has worked that can happen. Iongi, you would have to believe other clubs wanted him surely.

                JAC nobody really wanted, he went to us with Ryles connection and we were in Sydney. He has worked but would he have come to us off-contract as oppose to being sacked by a club?

                Moneyball signings, they worked earlier on in MON's tenure, we got some good deals with Lane, RCG, Papali'i, Opacic etc. But now we rely on it too much.

                But surely Sarantinos, Ryles, the board etc. are looking at missing Galvin and Da Silva and working out what is the issue, i mean it is possible we aren't but surely not.

                • I pretty much agree with everything youve said. With the exception of the org looking into things. JR for sure would be questioning it.

                  The others, I dont believe as self aware enough to realise there is a problem.

                  Cant imagine how hard/frustrating it would be to be in JRs position with those imbeciles handicapping him every step of the way

                  • I think they would know there is a problem, issue is they wont be able to 1) realise it is them or 2) work out what the actual problem is altogether.

                    I am a broken record but Ryles needs to say i cannot do what you hired me to do with what we have currently in our recruitment. Hire a GM and even another football brain, have them work with Ryles. Give him a chance.

                    I am all for going out and just giving the coach more control as they either sink or swim. As oppose to sacking them and saying what if.

                • Walker had to come back as he got himself in a little bit of strife 🍆🍑

                  • Didn't James Maloney reference that?

                    • Not sure mate , did he write about it ? Pretty ballsy of Jimmy to name and shame him if he did him being an ex player and all. Although I don't think it's a great secret anymore.

                       

                    • Nah he was on a podcast and he mentioned a Warriors player and a secretary and the player is sort of trying to get out of it. Then Walker was released about 2-3 weeks later.

  • Not surprised, are you? As predicted as expected.

  • $650k for a rookie bench hooker that cant tackle....meh

  • According to manly forum read earlier , tartak had gone back to manly and had then counter their initial offer , so looks like he got them to offer much more and had screwed them over
