Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[hank37w]

Moussa said last week (official...no bs rumour) that Olam was still working on his rehab

I suppose he has got to say something like that because he can't very well say we are still working on getting him medically retired and paid out by the insurance company so we can have him wiped from our cap, get back another top 30 spot and put the dud signing well and truly behind us.

Manly are dumb, they let Latu and Humphries go. Refused to sign DCE for 2 years. They are more of a clown show than us.

You only have to look back at Rainbow Round and their incompetent management leaving Des and Dally to try and square things up by fronting the media when they were not even consulted about what was to become a total disaster that derailed their season.

Clown show alright. 🤡

Maybe off the field. Totally feel your sentiments. But not on the field. Would you not agree?

When DCE leaves they'll get their spoon dont you worry about that

That Mestrov press conference regarding DCE was very confusing. Seems to jump around on what was agreed/known & trying to make out that the on-air offer wasn't a 'knee jerk reaction', which honestly- what else could it have been?

One report has DCE telling players after the Canberra win, Mestrov then comes out talking about how this was discussed in pre-season & it was a galvanising of the squad.

Apparently they've 'known DCE was leaving' but then, yesterday, they put together an offer.

It sounds like someone (Mestrov) is going into damage control.

Shame Des isn't around, he and Dally could front the media again to try and sort out the mess that management have once again created.

It's not all "sunshine and rainbows," well no rainbows this time, or much sunshine either for that matter.

I wouldn’t be worried about Galvin going anywhere when DCE leaves. The 18 year old half signed from junior wallabies Walsh will be given first chance & with the spare money I’m sure it will be used on a big play for the best young off contract props Pahulu, Moale etc.

If Walsh doesn’t show the potential to be a long term 1st grader that’s when Galvin will be targeted. Turbo & Jake contracts both expire next year so will have over $2 mill free’d up & will offer stupid money at him or Jahrome Hughes for 2027

They can always go down to the Corso and pick up someone that's fast to replace turbo.

Especially on a late Saturday night.

the dogs are stacked with halves
mitchell woods is better than galvin imo way more upside

I think Mitchell Woods was a WT Junior...??

Just make sure they stay out of the bathroom.

Probably best saying nothing....I was surprised.to hear Olam mentioned wasn't expecting that in the injury update.

Does anyone know is that a weekly video with moussa and what days it come out?

Standing out like dog's nuts that Manly not offering DCE anything for 27 they have their target, probably been talking to slime ball for a while now looking like a real dogfight about to happen to keep Galvan.
Only thing that probably keeps him here is mate ship, if he likes Benji and the tigers are climbing up the ladder.

They have offered him a 2 year deal at 1.5mil - made it public on NRL 360.

And just on that - how unprofessional to offer DCE a 2 year contract on national tv. And the same clowns who got that news on air call WT a basket case.

I would have thought that it would have been best not to mention him at all.

Funnily enough, I don't think there was any mention of Skelton in that report but it does sound like Luke Laulilii may be getting a run in reserve grade this week.

At the last minute to save face, that's what it smells like to me

Anyone remember the journos predicting brooks dally m @ manly? They must’ve been 2 years early to predict 😂

Usually a Wednesday or Thursday but they are not always weekly.

So that stuff about him having a 10 week lay off due to concussion was all bull dust or mud on our feet? Great player. A Junior Tupou protein. I mean protege. I wish I could comment further - just im an influencer. Copy right and stuff. But great news if true in 20 minutes. Not for him playing. But more importantly his concussion. Great news.

 

[hank37w]

Pretty sure it was mentioned that he would play reserve grade this week.

Pretty sure something was mention about 12 weeks so wasn't expecting to hear much about him for a few more weeks at least.
