Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Manly now have .. Taniela Paskai .. Josh Aloiai .. Sharon “Dora the explorer” Woods .. Luke Brooks .. and Tommy Talua .. all ex Tigers .. !! They have half of the Tigers “Big 4” with them .. hehehe

If we can’t sign these Fainu boys with already their other brother here and Fulton doing his work .. we’re in deep trouble.

Sam Walker I’m hearing is that he’s off to the Cowgirls (according to his dad and uncle) .. and if that fails Newcastle is the second option.

Would that free up Chad Townsend as the experienced half WT's are looking for?

It may be his 2nd, 3rd or 10th meeting with him. Who knows.

Just once I would love us to announce a surprise signing that was quality. Maybe this week we announce Fainu with his halfback partner that no one expected.

Could that mean Chad Townsend will be on our radar?

Maybe why our robust 3 in Benji/Sheens/Fulton are holding out on a halfback until a few things unravel like Hunt & Walker.

Townsend will be a good experienced game-managing head to complement a young dynamo like Fainu.

If Maguire was still here he would have done the job already.
 
Like others have said our team was showing some glimpses of greenshoots. Then twiddle dee and twiddle dumb signed Fulton and we have gone off the rails. Now i know some injuries haven't helped. But if we dont end up with any significant signings for next year then the 3 of them better pack their bags .....

They're not accountable. Never have been. How can we expect our players to deliver every week when the Board and Management fail every year and still remain in power. We're not in the business of winning games, were here for a Participation Award, Pascoe and Lee have proven that. They do not care about the Club or winning, if they did, they'd realise they're completely out of their depth.

Why? They kicked Luke Brooks out which everyone was screaming for. Same level of planning as some muppets on here.
 
A bit of a digression. Apart from Latu & Samuela Fainu, there isn't anyone else in Manly's top 30 that Fulton could recruit from his old club (except Paseka but I think he's a marshmallow) that may become available.

Looking at lower grades, I wonder whether he'll go for SG Ball halfback Tyler Bunting who made the Junior Blues squad this year. Could form a halves partnership with Iverson Matai in JF next season.

Other than him, I would try to bring across Jake Toby on a NSW Cup contract only (dynamic fullback who would offer more than Ogden, Camroux & Peni). His experience would help this team also.

Any others?

I think it was a couple things....
They tested his loyalty, And tried to crab back some money they paid him....
What they didn't factor in he was over it, And sick of being our whipping boy....

Furthermore,
Like most of the morons on here, They didn't think there'd be a market for a 200 game half in the NRL.....
They were very wrong - All of them!!

On the upside - The Morons here will be happy, Apparently no one in the ESL wants Austin either....

Possibly a result of Recruitment and Coaches not being on the same train of thought.

You realise he's only be available to talk to other clubs for about 5 days now. We couldn't make him an offer earlier and who says he wants to rush things? We don't get to dictate things...

Toby is too small for first grade. He's the same size as mighty mouse

Brooks wanted out last year. Sheens and Benji have consistently backed him. He wanted/s out and his manager was always going to find a club for him.
If he was committed to the club they could have negotiated but he was clearly not interested.
He may have been the best option we had, if he wanted to be at the club but he was never an option if he had already checked out.
