Turbo’s Corso stunt set to leave the Maroons red-faced
About the only way to stop the Blues is if the game is refereed with a skinny 10m and slow ruck, unlikely, but you never know at a packed Suncorp.

You got me. How quick we forget. Good try too, easily Qlds best of the night.

Turbo man crush, you have to put it out there. Too right about the hammies, someone’s making a killing on the insurance.
Seriously, the only way Q can stop Teddy, Turbo and Latrell is with 40mm of rain and sin bins.

Hey kk, I guess Tom missed Jake in the first half on the Goldie – seems to have moved on now. Amazing afternoon.

Thanks Nat, I should’ve mentioned Turbo’s rattling D ????

Ah geez. What’s all this about!! Thanks for your guidance over the years Dan, it has been a pleasure having you on my side. All the best in your next move. Your extensive work on my cricket long form article will always be a point of reference to your good deeds. Cheers mate.
Four incredible years of sport: My farewell to The Roar
Great day today. Such a great stadium. Defence amazing. Astounding how the side has transitioned in such a short period of time. Best victory since the Sharks semi!!

Well played. I stay away from that page. Looking back at my rant I defiantly cracked. The Penrith game at Brookie set me off when Panthers fans on the hill were laughing at our side, with good reason. I don’t shy from my thoughts at the time, but definitely a good lesson in understanding that the bad times are never as bad as they seem.

Have you seen a season like it – I’m still in shock, see you at Bankwest.

Well done Scotty, must’ve been hard deciding what to leave out. Cyclone Magic Round – seen nothing like it. Hardly room for expansion if 10% of the entertainers are going to finish off the park.

Our day will come. Stay healthy kk. Cheers
Tribalism is capped and it will take more than conferences to fix it
and coz they’ve stuck by me for more than 10 years, they deserve a free Coke 😂

I think Souths want to keep Reynolds, they say for only one year because it suits the cap – fair enough, so the cap works. Would the offer be extended if there was a greater long term allowance? Be interesting to see how it pans out, may be there is a greater chance of him staying than we care to think.

Nice wrap Sammy, thank you. Outside of Manly’s construction at the northern of Brookie, any news on when we can expect a redevelopment of the remainder?

Hey kk – hope you’re travelling well. I’m still keen to catch up at Gosford one round.
Tribalism is capped and it will take more than conferences to fix it
I can’t see the proposed conferences becoming reality, it would contradict expansion. As it is, the derby games already happen.

Interesting how some think locals should receive benefits to stay and some don’t. I guess overtime it won’t even be a topic worthy of discussion.

Hard to argue with you, Paul. Obviously Souths rate Reynolds but have to manage the dollars. To what you are saying, I’d like to see the distance between the posts widened to assist judgement calls for long serving players like Reynolds.
Tribalism is capped and it will take more than conferences to fix it
Fair play but for rugby league romancers loyalty still has a place – albeit more a matter of convenience these days. The point about Reynolds accepting less is a good one, you’d have to think there’s a spot for him at SS one he’s done playing.

Gday Bill, great chat. So many great Manly fullbacks from Batty, Eadie to Snake and now Turbo. Each among the best of their era. Snake and Turbo share an enviable ability to read the play, Snake was quicker off the mark but Tom has the tackle busting power. For me it’s still too early in Tom’s career to compare him with the others. Eadie and Snake won multiple premierships and played at an elite level for over a decade. But if Turbo can remain injury free, I’d like to think there’s plenty of Manly good times ahead.
