    Yep - sure do.

    Toops is a deadset legend at the club - the team's greatest ever winger - safe as houses under the highball, makes the most metres out of any winger when coming out of his own end hitting up kick returns, will score in the corner when given the chance, and bundles blokes like T'oo over the touvchline (remember the Penriff game?) to win us the match.

    He puts his heart into the RWB jersey.

    Heaps better than some 37 deadsh*t halfback who is just going to come here and bludge in order to get a huge paycheque.

    That's evident 'cause he wont even consider loyalty to the chipstealers where he's been for nearly his entire career.

    Only interested in money.

    My opinion anyway, but I know you just love DCE
    It’s funny that someone who has spent 15 years in first grade for one club is labeled as disloyal for pretty much precisely that. Don’t really know where I stand on DCE to the chooks but I don’t think he’s been disloyal to Manly for playing for 15 years with them. Sure he had the titans hiccup but I feel it was his loyalty to Manly to a large degree that contributed to that backflip.

      The talk of Young’s eventual demotion next week, barring injury or suspension, has me wishing he has a huge game against the Panthers resulting in a win.

      Eventually Sandon won’t get intercepted and the pass will find Dom for him to score a few.

        Toia needs to stand 1m closer to the sideline, then. Dom would stand closer to the sideline...ideal.
        Why aren't the coaches telling them this?

          Firstly, Sandon rarely play makes on that side - he's always on the left. Secondly, so you're saying you've got Young above Marky M, Billy and Toia in terms of form this season?

            Because Dom will still find an excuse to rush 3 men in, The guy just wants to defend in the middle so i don't know why we don't just let him

              Because defending at centre is much harder than on the ding a ling. Don’t put Doms deficiencies on Toia. Dom stays on his man everyone inside can slide.

                It’s genius! I wish you were coach.

                Write to Robbo and tell him.

                  Neither Toops nor Dom are seeing good ball with our recent halves pairing. When Sam comes back Dom becomes a real asset. Agree with the many, Toops is a player who gets to call time on his career, on his terms.

                    I would like to see Hugo move to five eight and give the Young Toby Rodwell a run at halfback .

                      Whilst I get the joke, imagine Dom at #8, he'd make Dancin' Dallas Hood look like JWH

                        He’s supposedly close to getting a game.

                          WOW. Assuming Sammy will be back in 7-8 weeks I would have thought that Rodwell will be held back for another year and Hugo and Smith used for the rest of the year partnering Sammy.

                          Unless the plans for Sandon have changed or Sammy won't be ready for longer than expected.

                            Would love to see Rodwell and Savala partnering in the halves until Walker gets back,doubt it will happen though..

                              toops is a club legend and should be loved and respected but the reason he should be picked is because he's playing very well. with lomax gone some have suggested he could play origin this year.
                              if he loses form and has a bad patch then dropping him would be an option but no way are we having that conversation atm.

                                That's interesting if true, I would have thought Jake Elliot is next man up - been in the 21 man squad already a few times and has starred in NSW Cup
                                Toby has only ever played a handful of games against men

                                Are you certain you are not getting confused with his brother Tom who is named in the team this week?
