Heres the thing, with Walker at 6 he can roam where ever he likes. DCE has to do all the work, and for 10 mill he bloody should too.

Walker at 6 will fail , he isnt a 6 *******.

I dont think he is as talented as they are making him. Not at this stage of his career.

Post by **dubby** » February 3, 2016, 7:58 am

No I agree. I bet Lyon will end up at 6

Manchild · Post by **Manchild** » February 3, 2016, 8:39 am

Lyon would be a gap fill at this stage of his career. Surely he hasn't got many years left so you would think it better to start blooding someone into the role. Plus why would you move one of the best centres in the game out of his preferred position?

Post by **Matt** » February 3, 2016, 11:18 am

Lyon doesn't want to play 6. He has said it numerous times, and only fills in with injuries.
I don't think Walker is a 6 either, however, he will play the same role Austin does for us, he will roam the field looking for offloads and/ or tired defenders. He wont need to do much ball playing or kicking, that will be left to DCE and Koroisau.

I suspect DCE will be too busy counting his money bags to bother playing

The NRL can be so funny at times. Are 'extenuating circumstances in personal life', an estranged wife/ girlfriend/ partner with a restraining order??? OR custardy of children???

Manly Sea Eagles statement on Apisai Koroisau

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are aware of a minor incident that occurred with Apisai Koroisau in Bondi on 20 December 2015.

The club immediately informed the NRL Integrity Unit of the matter.

The incident follows some extenuating circumstances in Apisai's personal life.

The Sea Eagles are providing Apisai with the necessary support during this time.

The club will make no further comment.

His girlfriend took her own life a few months ago. I'm assuming that's what they're alluding to.

When I read this article previously it gave me the impression that cherry had asked them to sack Toovey, now I think it's more "we needed to change how we run" am I reading into this correctly?

Nate Myles gives Manly coach Trent Barrett incredible praise, compares him to premiership coach

TRENT Barrett is so wet behind the ears as a coach he still hasn’t overseen a first grade game.

Nate Myles has played under a roll call of coaches that includes Origin record holder Mal Meninga, premiership coaches Tim Sheens, Chris Anderson and Steve Folkes, as well as Brian Smith, Brad Fittler, John Cartwright and Neil Henry, yet he sees something in Barrett that makes him believe the rookie mentor could be better than all of them.

How Martin Taupau helped prepare Daly Cherry-Evans for Manly Sea Eagles return

Tackling the NRL's strongest player at training has convinced Daly Cherry-Evans that he is ready to make his return from shoulder surgery in Manly's final trial ahead of a season teammates predict will be a big one for the star playmaker without the distraction of contract negotiations that dogged him last year.

After months of off-season rehabilitation, Cherry-Evans is preparing to play against Ipswich Jets at Pittwater Park on Saturday night with full confidence in his left shoulder after being tested by Kiwi enforcer Martin Taupau at training.

Season looms as light at end of tunnel as Manly recruit Api Koroisau comes to terms with tragedy

IT’S been the most trying six months of Manly recruit Api Koroisau’s life but the start of the 2016 season looms like the first crack of light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.

After a tough one-season stint at the Panthers stuck behind incumbent No.9 James Segeyaro, the livewire hooker was looking forward to another fresh start at Manly as he went out for a final farewell with his Penrith teammates — the traditional Mad Monday celebration in September.

That was the last time life felt normal for the 23-year-old, as he returned home that night to find his de facto girlfriend Cordelia had passed away.

One of more than a dozen new faces to join the Sea Eagles for the 2016 season, Brown said he initially struggled upon returning from international duty with the Kiwis but said everyone at the club was now on the same page.

Manly Sea Eagles player Apisai Koroisau fined $500 for trespassing after drinking session

Not long after Manly Sea Eagles star recruit Apisai Koroisau finished a drinking session with his teammates, a stranger yelled at him, "Get out or I'll call the cops."

Koroisau ignored the man's request, climbed over a gate and stumbled into the backyard of a Bondi house that was not his.

When police arrived, Korisau claimed he was "looking for a case" before he was arrested and taken back to Waverley police station and charged with trespassing.

Manly secure Brookvale future in NRL

Manly have secured hiring and naming rights to Brookvale Oval for the next two NRL seasons.

Brookvale Oval will continue to be Manly's home ground for at least the next two years after the NRL club secured hiring rights for the venue and the chance to sell naming rights at the ground.

"Brookvale Oval has been our spiritual home since 1947 and we never entertained playing anywhere else in our 70th year," Kelly said.

One of several big off-season recruits for the Sea Eagles, Walker's combination with Cherry-Evans will be crucial for the club in 2016 in the wake of Kieran Foran's defection to Parramatta.

What's the point in even fining him this? You'd expect he'd be on atleast $200k a year, $500 is nothing.

Id say its the principle of it NARF. They need to finr him, but with the extenuating circumstances they make it very small.
