I don't want to go for either.

Tommy - great player and can find the try-line but he become injury-prone over the last couple of seasons. We've learned the hard way what investing a large chunk of your salary to one injury-prone sea eagle can do - let's not risk it again. DWZ is doing a great job at custodian.

Jake - definitely not as great as Tom and also play a different position. It's awful to say this, but I fear that Tommy's talent has raised Jake's profile. I also think we are well covered in the forwards.

David - I could be wrong, but hasn't he been involved in controversy? Our club certainly does not need any of that!

You're wrong. Fifita's a good kid. There was that pokies "incident". You might be thinking of Haas but you can't blame him for not ratting out a family member.

I remember that, but I think Fifita was involved in something. I could be wrong.

Who was the bloke who got suspended for tackling Cooper Cronk too late?

Oh yeah ok.
TPJ was that one. Not sure if Fifita has done anything else though. Nothing springs to mind anyway

35.35% (rounded to 2 decimal places).

This is what we accountants do for kicks on our lunch breaks...

(Having said that, i would assume some of these deals would include TPAs).

The big thing with the turbo boys is all the help they do with their local junior club. If they did sign with us they would still live in Manly and continue to help them out and not our junior clubs etc... 100% their hearts wouldn't be in it. We have travelled down the manly road before and I'd like to avoid it this time

Exciting times boys.

Those responsible for managing our cap over the past 18-24 months have done a tremendous job to get us out of the doldrums and into a position to strike in the market.

I’m confident we’ll hit our marks.
