Met the great man at his Gerringong Pub today for the first time. What a gentleman! Thanks for all the great memories over the years Mick.

"Will be a great player, we cannot afford to lock up $300k (assuming) for 3 years on a 3rd string fullback/ half. Has 2 players infront of him in both positions. Hope he is very successful at the Bears. Will be good to watch him develop in first…"
"Plenty of young players have to move clubs to be successful and is part of the game. It isn't until a club doesn't offer a contract or value they think they are worth, that it is the kick up the area they need to refocus and reach potential. For…"
"If he is such a talent why didn't bulldogs match the bears offer. Why weren't other clubs looking at this generational talent. Didn't they see his 2 tries on the wing against a tigers defence missing a player. A lot of fans look at highlight…"
"Manly have had a run of easy games and the emotion boost of adding Foz will be wearing thin. Also with Tommy T gone they seem to drop as a team so I give us some hope.
As for young players like Nanva missing out, I don't really mind. Look at the…"

"So we get rid of Iongi and play him 1? "
"Some players play better against better opposition. Maybe he's that type of player? Dunno enough about him really. Loved his bone-crunchers though. Will it continue? "
"I think he maybe called Nostradamus"
"What if Ryles is the one that said to MON he wants Lorenzo?
The main job of MON is to provide players for Ryles, if Ryles said he wants Lorenzo, MON will put attention into Lorenzo."

"Shame, but not surprising with a new club throwing around big money.I would've liked to see him get a shot on the wing, but realistically if he sees his future as a fullback/No6 he needs to move.Considering at Parra he's behind Joash and Isaiah for…"
"Also a few things. Twidle is 22, he won't want to wait for a chance and with Perth he will get a fair bit of FG.
Second, we have Papali'i for another year, so his path for FG is blocked completely until 2028.
Perth also would have given him a bit…"

"Absolutely, well said Coryn & Bluey, unfortunately this is an area of concern based on recent retention, but if Ryles & the club are investing in Lorenzo / Bamblett / Fletcher etc… 100% back it.
But, it now becomes imperative we keep them - and they…"

"EA, would you consider Bamblett a chance of FG this year? He's straight into 6 role in Flegg and is a great talent, but you did say he seems to be an individual type player?"
"Anywhere. You find a spot for that sort of talent. If he doesn't work out you move them on but you've got to give them a chance 1st."
"Well Put Coryn.
I think a lot of people are expressing opinions based on not trusting R@R on making the right decision, or on Management unable to get a deal over the line for the ones they want to keep.
Knowing which is which as a memeber, fan,…"

"Lorenzo is tiny. Chris Sandow 2.0. Sack mark O'Neil. This is terrible management.
Also Iongi has to be one of the most overrated players in the entire nrl. Why does he have a mortgage on the fullback role?
Calling it now. Twidle will be a…"

This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
