Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[balmain boy]

yeah just saw nothing imminent then, we've probably fluffed our lines again.

clubs can release players and they can play nsw cup the next day, no dramas. in rare circumstances they can even play NRL within 24-48 hours notice.
Today's team lists never meant anything, the transfer window is open for a few more weeks yet....

I think that only requires something from the club at the end of his commitments later this year. I'd actually find it odd if the club put out a press release now about it.

well..someone has put ot out there..either Manly or that grub Moses
Either way,we look like "losers"yet again .If weve got Latu in return,or anyone else of relevance,the club owes it to the fans(and potential new recruits)to announce it NOW
We almost always look like weve been played..until the Chairman enters the conversation and confirms just that to everybody!

Latu fainu

Oh. I thought they meant someone who will play halfback for us.
This Latu kid is a fart in the wind without one.

Yeah he can have all the talent in the world bit without an organising half next to him, he's going to be thrown to the wolves

 

[clontarfkid]

..but leave his wallet behind.
And thats the issue...

 

[Stevec]

Are the Titans doing some high level recruiting ? If so is it possible Tanah Boyd might be on the market .He's the guy stopping Tobey Sexton getting a run !

Ain’t that the truth. Poor kid will end up with Wakeham showing him the way. Absolute essential that they sign an established no7 for a couple of years to take the heat off the kid. Of course that depends on if we actually sign the kid and with our mob who knows what will happen

Yea we will definitely need experience in the halves

Tell me what looks silly about always being dressed as a Guys and Dolls extra. You tell me one thing!?

 

[diedpretty]

Shuster extends at Manly for 3 more years. Thank god.

They will have to get rid of more players than just the Fainus if they paid him what he was asking.

 

[Fingers83]

Dragons rumour has gained a bit of traction. Talk of a last minute deal. Feels like there is no real substance to it, because it is coming from Manly fans.

Maybe that's the delay, is Fainu's manager saying I am not acting in the best interest of my client if I sign him up to a club without a halfback??

I doubt that’s a factor, one follows the other, I am more worried we have again been shafted, and Fulton with all his fan fare coming here has failed to deliver

Manly development player Fletcher Myers to Newcastle according to The League Scene on Twitter. Was linked to us yesterday.

He didn't steal it. He was offered it. Money grows on trees just the dilemma is all the trees are being cut down. One day they will be am endangered species just like Wests Tigers.

If someone says pay me this amount and I will give you a service in return and that service turns out shonky , then you’ve been dudded. We should be able to take brooks to court for misleading us by impersonating a million dollar halfback.

 

[Mistymuzzle]

If Manly want him for next 4 years, it’s certain they also want him for the rest of this year with Turbo out of play.
If that’s the sticking point, I’d say swap now and let’s plan for the future ASAP.

So Manly lose a fullback and replace with a half? Its Talau they are after this year (they were chasing Laurie).

 

[hsvjones]

Feels like we are back to our normal recruitment ways and waiting for ALL the other teams to complete their recruitment and then we get the leftovers. 😆 😆

What the hell is our club doing , we are quick to piss players off , but even when we hand players over to clubs that have screwed us before , we don’t get anything in return, I am so sick of this club , but having been a fan with Balmain since 1969 I can’t walk away , but I am sure that I am not the only one feel frustrated and let down

After the dollars, the coach is the biggest factor to where a player signs, not the recruitment manager. We should have signed Flanno or Des when we had the chance. Both strong individuals with proven success. If we keep getting poor results the media and fans will be all over the club for signing a coach with zero prior experience. That is the sackable offence for Justin and the Board for me. Completely negligent.
