Bellamy has been banging on awhile that he's going to retire from coaching when he finishes up with the Storm. From my inside 'mail' (I use the term loosely, I receive a lot of mail from sources but most of it is secondary), he's set for more of a director of football role in the future rather...

Re: Rumour - Daly Cherry-Evans to Brisbane Broncos Honestly believe there is 0 chance Lyon leaves Manly for a 'high profile' club. I'm not saying Manly isn't, but where they are located allows him to 'escape the limelight'. The bloke hates attention and isn't after huge money either. I can't...

To be honest, I think this is a poor option with Milford, and a completely different story to Barba. With Barba, we held all the cards because the player let it slip in public that he HAD to go to Brisbane. His agent would have been pissed. Ayoub is playing it much smarter. I suspect we will...

Re: Rumour - Daly Cherry-Evans to Brisbane Broncos My second post on this forum was about DCE heading back home to join us. I'll attach it here. My best mate is a producer at Triple M, and although these guys are all morons, they all think DCE to the Broncos is a formality. They've had him in...

To be honest, I don't know what Milford's decision is, but I have no doubt the latest release is only being used as contract leverage. I believe he made his decision weeks ago, and Ayoub is either trying to get more money out of us, because you know, Ricky Stuart is such a good coach. Or, the...

I would enjoy compilation of tries he has bombed this season. I have been sane this week, it just doesn't feel right going 7 days without blowing up about the club's form. Maybe you could cut it with flashes of vision of penalties Thaiday has given away on the 4th or 5th tackle to give that...

I don't understand what these two blokes were doing on the piss - I was under the impression neither of them touched the stuff. Conspiracy time? I think so.

Personally think we should play a more 'fluid' style, but we won't with Hook around. Hunt is clearly a better player when he plays what's in front of him, rather than sticking to a rigid game plan. The same could be said about Milford and Barba. I would personally be a fan of dumping the left...

I totally agree with these opinions, and I have been fortunate enough to meet Tallis a few times this year through some friends whom now work with him. He is very passionate about the club as we all know, and him and a long list of other old boys are NOT happy with the direction we are heading...

There's a player on the pitch tonight whom I've been a fan of for somewhile who would do a job at 5/8th for us if we don't get Milford. I think Chad Townsend could do a more than handy job playing full time 5/8th in first grade.

That's just wrong, you mean we were grooming a prop for Petero like service by giving him 8 minutes a game? Give me a break. Another huge Hook issue - fitness and the misuse of the bench.

And why were we short on front rowers? Lack of foresight again, didn't replace Petero, a player we knew we only had for one year.

The thing is - he made changes that had been screaming out for 12 months. He only made them as he was forced into them and was also stuck in a 'nosing to lose' situation. Why Thaiday was persisted with as a prop is beyond me. A tough coach makes the tough calls early on and a smart coach...

No it isn't. I'm almost certain he would be the coach to make the least 'unforced' changes in the comp over the last two years. He only drops players due to injury. The only player he dropped this season due to form was Wallace, and when it was all too late already. The players in our side are...

Sutton and Inglis clearly hampered still by injury, and one of the worst games i've seen Reynolds have. Roosters are built on defense, not attack. I would have no problem with adopting how either of these teams plays, as they play winning football.

Helping his new team mates out?

How about last season? Yes they have Inglis, but Maguire has got the best out of most of the players. John Sutton is 5 times the player he ever was now, Bryson Goodwin looks like a first grade footballer, Dylan Walker and Adam Reynolds have looked superb and full of confidence since their...

This. Coaches aren't in the cap - throw the kitchen sink at Maguire. I'd put up with another Hook year if we knew Maguire was coming. I'd also go after Trent Robinson too. Wayne just isn't the answer. I think Hook needs to get punted, but why bring Bennett back for 1/2 years? We need to find...

The problem with signing him as a 'depth' signing is that Griffin would probably chuck him in at 6 if we don't get Milford. No thank you.

As I have already said in this thread - you just don't sign one of the best fullbacks in the game, certainly best player in the game in 2012, and play him out of position. The club is definitely after another half, and if we don't get one, I am hearing that Ash Taylor may just be chucked into...
