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.

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 |

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. |

too much wine mate.
the pre season is harder than the NRL.
so if they can pass that, the NRL is a breeze in the park |

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 |

He's 32. Steve Price is about to turn 35 and is still an international prop. Darren Lockyer is about to turn 32.
According to all reports Stacey has been playing fantastically in the Warriors 2 trial wins. |

Pryce plays 30-40 minutes a week - Lockyear plays half a season and both have been playing consistently in the NRL for the past three years. Jones hasn't played any rugby for twelve months!!!
Jones is expected to play 80 minutes a week - control the attack in the super fast physical NRL - it doesn't add up to me - either the league isn't as fast ans physical as some on here would have you believe or Jones simply wont perform.
What was surprising was the progress the Catalans made after his departure - Jones struggled in SL ao it will be interesting to see how he goes |
