This weekends game has changed. Manly is the new opponent. All other details remain the same.

Luca Kmet. Number sixteen I think.

As much as I’m all for laying the boot in to him it looks like he got married and when all that was booked in most likely some time ago I’m sure he didn’t expect to be back here. Hopefully he doesn’t go for an extended honeymoon and is back in to it ASAP.

 

[shipwreck]

I can understand a wedding and honeymoon.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Can anyone imagine SFC letting a player avoid pre season training?
No, me either.

 

[turbo]

He’s not a core player and Sydney only came back on Thursday. I can see them giving him a week or two to get married given they don’t even have their recruitment finalised. I was going to say it could be poor preparation to not book in the gap between seasons but it’s not a huge window between grand final and now, around 7 weeks. Just feels like longer not being involved in finals.

Post season training and rehab also usual continues for 3 or 4 weeks doesn't it?

I don’t know the ins and outs of that, I remember reading Staj still had some people training long after our season ended. If what you’re saying is right that makes for a pretty small window to be able to line up venues and other services. In theory Sydney could have had ACL commitments in that window too if they managed to progress. Would be a bit of a nightmare trying to avoid all that.

He’s currently on his honeymoon on an island. We can be salty at him as much as we like but when else should he get married and honeymoon? Between round 1-3? 12-14?
I personally draw a line with my saltyness on this one. Maybe someone can ask Shaun or the club when he’s due back. Then we can start judging him based on the attitude he shows us on his return.
At least he isn’t in LA trying to be f**king Eminem for a month.

It's his wedding. We can cut the guy some slack. Congrats to Danny - I hope it was a wonderful day

Nope.

I haven't had a trip to the snow because of forty-two years of consecutive football seasons.He is a professional footballer. It is his job that many can only dream of.

I am happy to accept Turbo's explanation about Sydney and possible ACL commitments. That seems plausible to me.

Am I missing a joke here? I must be, because that sentiment makes no sense otherwise.

There is no joke here. My football season is over winter. I don't take frivolous holidays or time off over football season because I am letting my team down. If I have those expectations of myself then I can certainly apply those standards and more on someone who is a professional footballer and gets paid for the honour.

They get their annual leave and should organise any holidays in that time. If they don't like the rigidity of the time they are allowed to take leave then they can give up being a professional footballer.

Like it’s his call anyway. We all know what the wife wants she gets

Here’s hoping he doesn’t pull a hammy

Let's hope his doesn't just up and leave the marriage after a year and gets his brother to come and grab all his clothes from the house.

He is actually number eighteen.

Manly squad will be announced tonight after training for which I am sure he is part of.

 

[Wombat]

Looking forward to watching Lewis Miccio the Manly LB. He is a coastie and ex Academy player.
