After seeing Micko's post re Cheese I thought I'd check out tk to see what the commotion was all about. There's a lot of smoke but no fire ( just yet). The thing is , if there was any truth to the story, to get Cheese  the storm will force us to give up a replacement and my guess they would want someone like BBO. Unfortunatrly in this situation I think that having BBO at 7 is more important to us than obtaining the Cheese at 9 and if it were up to me it would be " no deal".

Currently BBO is off contract as far as I know. So he most likely wouldn’t be part of any swap deal. It’s more likely to be a forward to replace Cheese.

Very good
He has a chance to cement a halves or hooker spot and be integral to our rebuild.

BBO re-signed for two years.

It was announced a few minutes before it happened from the same guy who says we are signing Cheese. I’m very confident that the Kennel poster ‘sleepy dog’ has some very good information. I’m backing us in getting Brandon Smith.

BBO has offered more in a handful of games than Reynolds, Mbye, Lewis, Wakeham, Lichaa  or Katoa ever have.

Averillo and JMK have only matched him in patches.

I think Averillo is a grest player who will look better playing in a strong team.
Thompson , Jackson and Hetherington will also benefit from more help.

Easy boy....
JR exploded on the scene. Took us to 2 GFs and played SOO. 

I know he had the odd brain explosion, but mercurial players like that, do have that in them.

BBO has been a standout but let's not rubbish players who have runs on the board....

To get the Cheese, Elliott, Wardell, Odgen and even RFM are expendable.
JMK and Katoa definately expendable.
Wakeham expendable.

I do want to keep Topine and to a lesser extent Doorey.
Bellamy and Melbourne are not silly, if they want Topine and we agree, my hunch is we will regret it, and that isn't selling the Cheese short, it is all about the age difference.

Elliott, RFM, JMK and Wakeham are players other clubs would want, who I would ideally keep, but am prepared to part with.

I dont often read TK, in fact hardly at all, but I did have a look yesterday following the Cheese reports....

What I didnt miss was some of the hilarious posts about Mbye and JMK.... I was laughing for hours

95% of his time on the field was a brain explosion, 5% of the time he wasn't paying attention.

Bwahaha, ol’ Sideways.

Anything those teams achieved were in spite of him not because of him. The only runs he had on the board were to the sidelines.

Besides, everyone knows those teams achievements were lead by prop Aiden Tolman and coach Des Hasler.

Runs on the board as they say.

Exactly right. 

Every half that has pulled on the blue and white has been rated by some clown as the next JT, Lamb or Mortimer. 

I personally have thought Avo was the next big thing only to see him look worse than Mbye in many occasions. 

BBO looks good currently and will most lucky play a lot of first grade. But still I don’t know what position suits him best. 

Great players normally are certs in their position and better than most in other positions. John’s the games best halfback was better than most at hooker. Lewis the best 6 great in the 13. Lockyer the best fullback of the time and a great running half. Thurston the best 6 to play seven. 

The Cheese reminds me of one of these players

Lol. You are funny.

The one thing DCE,  Tommy Turbo and HR have in common is that they DONT listen to Des Hasler. 

They play heads up football. Coaching instructions are reserved for the rest of the team. 

The minute DCE and Turbo play to Des' instructions, Manly is finished. Just look at Foran.

Dont forget Turbo who is a great fullback yet probably one of the top wingers and centres in the game....

It doesn't matter which position a player is good at, it's all about where they sit in the position the team and coach requires them in.

For example.... BBO might prove this week that he is our best halfback. But if we lose 30% effectiveness by not playing him at hooker and only gain 10% playing him in the halves, the team is not making best use of his skills.

It's the same philosophy of Chris Anderson with Kangaroos... he played Kimmorley at halfback and A johns at hooker as he wanted both in the team and Johns could play hooker better than most.

I also think this is something that we may need to trial with Burton next year....

We might be served better playing him at center rather than halves, if Avo, BBO or Lewis (if retained) are capable to steer the team around.

If the germolists are to be belived the Storm are offering the Cheese 600k, luckily we know the answer there...

The good news is jousting sticks $200  a pair, some jousting as part of our training could be just the ticket.

Footballers, beer, horses, betting, loud music, sharp sticks and general mayhem.... what could possibly go wrong.?

Unlikely but not completely out of question 

Burton is the best young half in the competition. It would be a waste playing him anywhere but 6 or 7. And I think he would add much more to the team at halfback than anywhere else. 

We need a leader in the halves though to allow Burton more space. That’s why I would love Pearce in the blue and white. We can succeed in the long run with Burton taking that role. But it will take longer fir the teams success.

I'm not against a Pearce signing...
I think he once again proved himself last night. 
You can tell the Knights missed him and Ponga badly. They are like Manly. Without DCE and Turbo they are just another Des rabble team.
