Haumole has way better hair.

Well he's not coming to Concord then - cos we have a bloke who cuts hair!

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

At the Centre of Excellence

 

[Krammy]

Is he injured? If not - why is he not in the top grade?

I guess we will find out next year. We are definitely due for some good luck.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

For the kids at least. Our children. Our future.

Not that I want Nofa in the team, however will we be able to claim the entire 200k long service compensation as he only guy eligible after Brooks leaving.
The reported 550k is likely 350k which doesn’t hurt so much on salary cap.

Not correct. We get the long service leave compensation for Nofa....or Klemmer.

Gould just said on channel 7 that the dogs will probably announce 7 or 8 new signings in the next couple of weeks

Saw that….they have so many top 30 spots free?

Makes you wonder?

Are they more sexton type players which will add very little

Or are they Kikau type players and their cap is 27m?

David Klemmer and Api Koroisau are also eligible as they have been a top 30 NRL player for 10 years.

Hopefully a few of them are from our unwanted list, but that is probably wishful thinking

They will just wrestle them out the door 😆

Hey mate, I’m not a tigers fan but a big footy fan so like to read other teams forums when bored… just curious why every one on here keep saying Schuster signed a ‘bumped up contract’ when he, Seibold and Mestrov have all said he is taking a pay cut. None the less he needs to improve next year as a lock or will be off in super league lol.

Sea Eagles extend Josh Schuster to end of 2027

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have today confirmed a three-year extension for the very talented Josh Schuster.

Schuster takes hip-pocket hit to re-sign with Manly

Manly have locked down Josh Schuster through to the end of 2027, with the five-eighth agreeing to a pay cut to stay at Brookvale.

Really building that junior base! 🤣

It will be interesting who Sticky selects for Canberra to replace Kris on the wing. Will it be Schiller or Savage? Whoever misses out may want to look elsewhere for a better chance at NRL in '24!

Schiller chosen this week for Raiders. Savage has really seemed to drop out of favour with Ricky. Simpkin for Savage trade could work for both parties.

Heard from a mate at Canberra that savage just doesn’t take training seriously and doesn’t really care and that’s why he dropped down the list if so we should stay away from him

I disagree about Bateman , if the rest other than api but in the effort he puts in we would have won more games , people bag him because he didn’t make breaks but how could u do that with the shit 1/2s we had

I love his effort and enthusiasm as well but I don’t see him as a hole runner and even with 2 new half’s I can’t see him turning into one, I hope he proves me wrong because he has 3 years to do it.
I’m praying people aren’t talking about Bateman’s contact like they are about Noffa’s at the end of next year.
Again can’t knock him for effort
I just prefer if we had a hard straight hole running second rower.

Yeah agreed. He digs in but isn’t a hole runner. Halves have little impact on his game.
He needs good early ball and someone to go with him. He creates space with his lines and running style.

Felt sorry for Bateman sometimes especially early on as he was the only one creating half a chance.

Reckon he'll really shine if we get some creativity around our halves giving him less to do.

In any case a very good edge defender who had his work cut out with the competitions worst centres along with makeshift halves.

His defence kept us in many games.

Isn't the problem.

Gus can get away with anything.

Load of crap. The stuff coming out of that club us horrendous. They are more of a basket case than us, but have Gould who can sweep it all under the rug and still sign players.

Still can't believe they got rid of TPJ's contract. Nobody is dumb enough to just walk away from that much money.

Young gun playmaker Latu Fainu is off to the Wests Tigers and he finished up his time in the Manly system playing centre. The 18-year-old has played nine NSW Cup games this season and all have been in the halves, but moved to centre for the elimination final to make room for Cooper Johns and Schuster. Fainu finished with a linebreak, a linebreak assist, three tackle busts and 199 running metres. He struggled defensively though with nine tackles and six misses. I know he was playing out of position, Fulton said he is ready for 1st grade, 6 missed tackles, I dont think so.

I get that stat doesn’t look pretty.

And it isn’t.

Centre, is by far the hardest spot on the field to defend. If you are not used to it. It can be very confronting.

It’s a tough one from the outside, until you have been there, and played there it’s tough to comprehend completely.

 

[phil1986]

Unfortunately for us, Bateman with no real pre-season. Was used to plug gaps all year.

He has talent and X factor. Unfortunately, we couldn’t build any combos with him or. Anyone this year.

I am still hopeful, with a full pre season and being able to concentrate on one spot. He will have something to add.

I can’t be alone thinking that during our injuries this year, that I was worried week to week that sheens was going to try and play him as our 6. 😂.
