Those are Sezer's stats. I don't know why people think he's always injured.

I was honestly surprised when I seen his games played. I have no idea why I thought struggled to complete a season. 22 and 18 from 24 in 12/13 is very acceptable, especially considering he'd have been 21/22 and still maturing physically. 13 last year is basically 50/50 which is not great but it happens.

I personally was not a fan of letting townsend go. Im not saying he was ever going to be amazing, I think he will develop (already has started to, he has been great for the warriors this year) into a consistent, reliable half, someone like wallace. would have been a good partner for a half like Sezer, or Nu Brown.

Don't think there's any doubt we would have been better off keeping him over Robbo. That's Flanno for you.

Agree mate. Most players will have a year or two with not many games. Fact is we can't afford to wait until the end of the year.

I'm assuming you say that because of injuries?

Not as bad as it seems.

2012 18
2013 22
2014 13

Actually yeah that isn't as bad - I had it my head he had three season enders. Rightio on the Sezer train

Our coach just won't develop a player. I can't see why we accepted Barba, unless it was part of a plan to get DCE here, when we could have begun courting Sezer.
6. Nu Brown
7. Sezer
This idea that Brown isn't a 6 is absurd.

Lewis IMO could be forced into retirement. He and the doctors reckon he has some form of arthritis. He mentioned gout, ive had gout. Lewis would be much healthier than I, and gout comes greatly from an unbalanced diet or certain foods. I doubt a professional athlete would have dietary problems like gout. He mentioned rheumatoid arthritis, as there was fluid build ups (gout crystalizes) in his knee. If he does have arthritic issues, its gotta be near impossible for him to withstand another 18 months

Yeah he won't he was going to retire before the season started but he started a new treatment and it seemed to work for a bit he is currently not training a bit like Dean Young just rocks up to play.

IMO Manly will grab Carney. And thats a real tough one to take. We did the right thing by letting him go. With everything the club was going through in 2013 and 2014, Todd still managed to bring another bad headline our way. We sacked him, we did everything we had to do in that situation (except a board appearance). Still did it wrong and will end up having to fork out something to him. And he doesnt deserve a cent. I'd take Carney back, but rumour is he's said he wont accept a booze ban! What a dead set ****wit. Let him **** up at another club. Seezer it is. Has a massive boot on him, strong ball runner, quick enough for a big ⅝ and goal kicker as well. Pretty complete player and will add a dimension to our team we havent had for a while

If we get seezer 13 games last season did a pec mussel from memory, let manly have carney, he is a ticking time bomb...and we will have done better

I think that Brown is either a hooker or 5/8th......Robson isn't a half, he may have been an ok hooker, he can organise, which is what hookers do, but damn that guy can't kick for ****

If we had a good halves coach id be starting holmes development as a 6. He is a good 1 but i can see him making that switch during his career. Unlike milford, holmes has a bit more size on his side too

Yep and Holmes is damned quick but he's not greased lightning.

He'll slow down a bit in his late 20's and will need to rely more on guile and skill.

Yeah he debuted in Rd 7 in 2012 so those 18 were out of 18, and those injuries last season were impact injuries rather than soft tissue which anyone can get. Dude is far from injury prone.

(Yeah I've been on the Sezer bandwagon for a while) :glasses-cool:

Imagine if the interchange did drop straight to 6. And we got sandow that little bugger would go nuts last 15 min each half in the middle.

Sandow, Val, Barba and Nu.....I'm sure Flanno could rise to the challenge and suck the life out of them :glasses-cool:

 

[endevour shark]

Agree

What is the problem with Sezer and the Titans , do they want to get rid of him of so why?

Why do people assume when a player looks at other opportunities it must mean the club doesn't want them? Do you think Manly didn't want to keep DCE and Foran?

To be fair he was asking a question IF they wanted to let him go..

 

[sharks2010]

Talk about jumping down a mans throat haha

 

[Fozzym]

Sezer and Elgey, two good young players. One pretty much guaranteed to miss out on a spot next year with DCE's arrival. We've got an opening in the halves. It'd be crazy talk if we weren't sussing out both players
