Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

If the NRL is as tough as everyone says Jones should not last 20 minutes - a real backward step |

Again, where did they lose Rapira to?
He played in last week's trial versus Melbourne. I think you're confusing him with his brother from the Under 20's 2008 team, Steve, who has now gone to North Queensland. Sam, the Kiwis test prop is still with the Warriors.
Swann was hopeless for the last 18 months, and Wiki was running on about 50% for the last half of his contract. He got dropped midway through last season as a result. |

Must have got him mixed with Steve then. |

It's too hard to win twice in a row now. If the Storm and Roosters couldn't do it in the last decade, Manly won't.

The problem will be the lack of credible challenger - Melbourne apart - would not be surprised to see a repeat of the GF of the last 2 seasons |

Still begs the question - if the comp is so fast and physical how can a 35 year old expect to contribute much? |

This is based on last year? Quite a few teams are looking very different this year, I don't know how anyone could be so sure before the season has started. |

the pre season is harder than the NRL.

OK - deluded logic in my view - given the fanfare Jones has received it is unlikely he would not complete pre-season you can practise all you like but it is a different thing on the field - given Jones hasn't played in the NRL for 4 years and he is mid 30s it would suggest he will struggle with the physicality and the speed if the NRL is as physical and fast as you would have us believe !!!- but there you go |
