Manly need a hooker, don't appear to have one in their squad at the moment

They are pretty confident Fainu gets off

They've still got Fainu. Although his trial looks to be scheduled for July next year, so they'll still need someone else

He is being tried for stabbing someone, decent chance he isn't playing after his trial either.

Can see them targeting a guy like Kenny.

The defense seems to be adamant that Fainu is the victim of a case of mistaken identity and wasn't in fact the stabber (but was identified as the stabber due to his profile).

Quite an unusual defense, but it seems like Manly & Des have backed him strongly though, so who knows.

Like you say, there's still at least half a year of football before he's potentially available either way.

Sounds to me like Fainu will get off, but obviously its still going to be a while until he is playing again.

Center is one position they have more depth than they need, before adding Roberts. That knights center rotation policy will see all of them unselectable for fantasy.

The last thing the Knights need is another centre with discipline issues.
They need to get their 5/8 sorted ASAP.
Mann was improving throughout the year until AOB was forced to play him at Hooker.
Hopefully the Knights No.9 curse has run its course and we'll have Brailey and Watson healthy in 2021.
I can't even imagine what it would feel like to support a Knights team that keeps a stable 1, 6, 7 & 9 on the park for most of the year

It can be bullshit. When Mrs Cow first went from contract to permanent, the interviewer has been her boss for over a year. But because it was government job they had to advertise it publicly. Its tough on people getting their hopes up about a job.

Although, conversely, I have heard of people in a similar position (having an interview for a position effectively created for them) not taking it seriously because they assumed they'd get the job, and then missing out to an external candidate

This happened to me in Govt in 2016. Turned out to be a blessing.

I start a new job permanent gig in Federal Govt on Monday, after GF weekend. Worst.

Did a quick summary of odds for clive churchill/norm smith medal + FTS/FGS for anyone that's keen. Mainly meant to be an odds comparison rather than providing tips btw.

All I will say is that I work for a local council and some of what goes on would make your skin crawl.

Apparently Fox going Dogs and we getting DWZ.

So bloody excited for both Grand Finals this year. Can't remember the last time I got to watch both GFs with mates with no distractions.

Who's everyone supporting and tips for fts/fgs and cc medal/norm smith?

Thinking Storm by less than a try. Olam fts. Smith CCM.

Barely watched any afl this season but hoping for Cats by 7, rohan fgs and danger norm smith.

Cotric and Add-Carr is some decent firepower, in theory. Shame the Bulldogs have invested the rest of their cap in having about a dozen backrowers and have no decent playmakers to create opportunities for them.

I think Penrith will win. It’s incredible to see a side that has dominated like them as underdogs.

I don’t even know who is in the other GF.

I'm with you @robelgordo Panthers by 8

Go the Doggies

DWZ could be an option next season, will finally get to see what he is capable of

DWZ is definitely a player I still think is a gun, despite the evidence to the contrary the last 2-3 seasons.

Miami Bound baby !

Milne is great for Ctr/2rf depth.
Does Host make their best 17?

I don’t know much about Milne.

Host is coming into his prime soon though and I know of some Dragons members that aren’t happy he is leaving.

Our pack looks good as of now and has some depth too:

Arrow
Cook
Tom
Su’a
Sironen
Murray

Tatola
Cartwright
Knight
Koloamatangi

Nicholls
Sele
Host

With Lowe retiring and talks of Siro joining his brother at Manly Host is a good depth signing. Most clubs end up using 25-30 players each season so you want a few fringe first graders like Host

Milne has always had the talent but never put it together. Might be a smokey if the Roberts rumours are true

Bayley has re-signed with Souths for 2021 mate.
