I think it will be a waste of money buying Anthony Watmough.His best days are far behind him and you also have to look at all the bad press that has followed him.Not too sure of what sort of influence he would have on the younger guys coming thru and if he is worth the risk. Yes, he has that mongrel that is necessary to win a comp but I think we have that in bucket loads with Ma'u and Edwards.

  • Whatmole is a bad idea, plenty of injuries and mistakes coming with him now. No from me.....

  • Good point Krama and you are right about his experience but is it worth the risk and the money that we are going to spend on him?.

  • With our relatively inexperienced side he brings the experience and mongrel we need.
  • Totally agree with Dr Wong and Ron. Though it would not take much to be an improvement on Sefa and we do need the experience as seen by some of the games this year and we also need to improve so we stay final contenders and this would be a huge improvement.

  • I agree and he does lose the ball a fair bit.
  • Agreed Ron, he is injured but he still made over 100m and 37 tackles.  He would easily add plenty more to the pack then Paulo,Smith or Lussick.  All depends on how long he wants.

    • Think he could add a lot of experience and aggression to our forwards. Although how do we afford him? Aren't we already over the cap for next year? With the upgrades already given plus re-signings that would have offset departures and Watmough is on 900k next year. Manly aren't moving him on he is asking for a release so we would have to pay a premium for him.
    • Maybe after surgery in the off season he can miss the first 12 rounds.
  • He's contracted to Manly in 2015 but has no offer beyond that. Manly took their offer off the table after all the stuff in the press. I now get the feeling Manly will release him if the right deal can be struck.
    • Agree Muttman, they don't look a real happy team ATM.  Foran is very close with WhatMong and Stewart. 

      He would look fantastic in the blue and gold.

"True as. A good sign to me was Hopgood Pensini both out and 2 players slotted in no drama. Tells me his system is starting to sink in and we will look more Melbourne like as time goes on. Just needs time to coach it all into them "
