I don't think Garrick will leave Manly, and if he does, who says we have the money to get him when we're apparently struggling to find the money for Pezet? Garrick would be good if we lost both Lomax and Simonsson.
I'd be reluctant to sign anyone from Manly. The last decent player we got from them was Gutherson and he was a massive risk after 2 ACL's. Hopoate - failure, Foran - failure, Watmough - failure, Harper - failure.
Mmmmmmm guess that's what happens when you spit the dummy like that., and demand to speak to other clubs/demand a release. Other clubs are not interested in players becoming spoilt brats in public. Probably a very lucky man he has a coach that wanted him in the first place and extended his contract. Perhaps it's time for him to really put in and demand a spot via overwhelming form and attitude, not just a belief of entitlement. Some form worthy of highlight reels wouldn't go astray.
If he dosnt pull his finger out soon , a permanent position as a backup is all he'll be unfortunately.

Three things I like about this Bluey:
1. JR/Club is giving Simmo another chance. Mature. Adaptable.
2. Simmo has a chance at redemption. Being better. Kaizen.
3. It's a good example of authenticity & alignment. The club wasn't afraid to let him go if he wasn't really on the Ryles bus, despite having multiple years left on his contract.
"Arnold, There will never be enough gossip and rumours to end all rumours. Human nature and psychology all but guarantee it. And in new media, the global village era, it's on steroids in echo chambers and algorithms."
"I heard today, from a close mate, the mate who knows Lomax actually that Lomax is being forced out to incorporate Gareth Hock. We need his money to afford housing, airfares, limo, personal chef and to pay his bail out of jail.

I was saying about Simonsson in the squad mainly.

isn't Garrick a pretty handy kicker too
Yep!
Well he had pretty much same percentage as Lomax this year.

Lol not like we signed Harper expecting big things. The others yes.
I'd say Harper was a failure, even accounting for the low expectations everyone had for him... haha
