Warrington are after a centre. Maybe they'll be mad enough to take Griffin

Or Jake?

Not really FC related but sad to see Des sacked by Manly. Worse still they've got Seibold lined up

Not tall enough or big enough bodily for a modern day wing or centre

Like Liam Marshall, Bevan French, Sione Katoa, Regan Grace, Tom Briscoe, Jake Mamo, Matty Russell, Kevin Naiqama and Tesi Niu - there's just no place in rugby league for these sized players anymore. The game's passed them by.

Be interesting to see what the fall out will be.
Siebold seems highly rated , for some reason.

Ridiculous decision, Dolphins should already be the phone to the Trbojevic brother's agent.

Was listening to a triple M podcast a while back and sounded like there was a power struggle between Des and the Manly board. Only tends to be one winner in that case

The game has passed you by if you consider Tom Briscoe as small
Tom is 1.83 and over 100 kilos

There will always be the odd exception in the wing role but most top wings now are tall and strong as well as having pace.
