It’s been 24 hours since Manly announced the signings…. can we relax it’s not a big deal at all.

If it’s been a week and we’re still waiting then I’d understand, these trade deals take time to come into fruition. Just have belief in the process.

My God our club is hopeless like how hard is it to get deals over the line. From heads of agreements letting blokes out of contracts pushing good players out. Spuiking heads of agreements? Just show how shit our management team are. Heads should of started rolling long ago.

Too many cooks in the kitchens.

What's next? Api requests immediate release or, Bateman is homesick?

U may not be far of the mark , unless something changes and in a bloody hurry

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

The pity party is out of control.

Relax guys. I have no doubt Benji and Tim have plans, seriously get over it and stop reading the Tele and looking at Facebook

Dumpster Fire

Manly didn’t take weeks 🤔

😂😂 the Fainu bros are Fulton prodigies, if he can't land them at WT, after the drama Gadget and Ask The Flog caused to get him here, why did they get him here?

 

[Masterton]

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??

....watthour getting another $200k

How do you know that, Gus said last Monday, that was 8 days ago Brooks was committed. That took more than a week to announce, how long did Gus know before Manly announced it yesterday

 

[Merlot]

Latest mail is DCE is retiring and Manly have signed Brooks to play 7 WITH Fainu.

Gus seemed certain last night ,dce was retiring.end of 24

To be fair, they did sign Tigers players though....

From SMH : Seems like Dolphins are now in the hunt - see below.

John Bateman will need to overcome nearly 20,000 kilometres worth of travel in just three days when Wests Tigers come up against North Queensland in Townsville on Saturday.
Bateman used the Tigers’ bye week to jet home to the north of England for a quick visit with family. He is expected back in the country early on Wednesday, which will give him Friday’s captain’s run to be ready for the Cowboys.

Gus spruiks draft after controversial Hunt push​

​

Phil Gould has renewed his push for an NRL draft after talk of Ben Hunt trying to make a mid-contract switch to the high-flying Broncos during the season.
Visiting players have often struggled with the humidity at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, but Bateman could become the first player struck down by the effects of jet lag after completing the marathon journey from Bradford to Townsville via Sydney.
Bateman has improved each week for his new club since making his debut in round three – so much so that he was handed the captaincy while Api Koroisau and Luke Brooks overcome jaw and hamstring injuries respectively.

Tigers prop David Klemmer was backing the bleary-eyed Brit to shake off any travel hangover. “It will be a good little freshen-up for Johnny,” Klemmer said. “He’s been massive for us. He had the disrupted pre-season, but he needed a week away with his family.
“He’s just a goer, he’s a little firecracker who adds something different to us on and off the field. I love playing with him. He’ll be fresh and ready to go Saturday.”

John Bateman will have flown nearly 20,000km in just three days before the Cowboys game.CREDIT:GETTY
Around the same time Bateman is adjusting to local time, assistant coach Benji Marshall is expected to meet Latu Fainu, the Sea Eagles youngster earmarked by the Tigers as the man to replace halfback Luke Brooks who has now attracted strong interest from the Dolphins.
There were whispers the Titans were also keen on luring the 18-year-old north, but it appears a race in two between the Tigers and Wayne Bennett’s newcomers.

Brooks announced on Monday he would be quitting his junior club after 11 seasons to join Manly on a four-year deal.
Who plays in the halves at the Tigers next year has now become a huge talking point, especially with Adam Doueihi no certainty to return from a knee injury at all in 2023.

Now wouldn't that be HILARIOUS.

 

[hammertime]

Yeah, that makes no sense given Manly gave Fainu permission to talk to other clubs.
