Similar headgear doesn’t make him Jye Gray
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
Ppl will very quickly start taking benji alot more serious if he could pull that off
Joey Manu at close to his best would instantly be in the best 5 fullbacks in the NRL, but he’s turning 30 this year and will be turning 31 in 2027.
Age slows most players down, particularly once they hit 30 and considering it would likely cost 1 million per season to be a chance of signing a player such as him, it would be a risk due to his age.
Still I would say it’s highly likely Joey Manu on 1 million per season would make us a better team than we would be with Jahream on a similar contract value.

You would have to be interested in a guy like Joey Manu. Can play just about anywhere in the backline and seeing as we are playing our first string wingers in the centres atm any depth is welcome.
Bula
Turuva
Manu
May
Makasini
That is premiership quality and would just do nicely. Reckon Eels would be throwing the kitchen sink

Manu doesn't strike me as someone who would consider going to a club like the tigers.

Apparently, there was a gentleman's agreement that if he comes back he would go back to the roosters to replace Tedesco. HOWEVER, when he was last in Aus he was hanging around with a few of the tigers boys who were joking that he should join the tigers. May have put an idea in his head. This is all rumours and innuendo by the way but crazier things have happened.
Tedesco's doing fine as is Tommy turbo who is 30 next year.
Id take him on a 2 or 3 year deal and then if attard is all he is cracked up to be he can take the spot.
Either way, we need a seasoned QUALITY fullback. No team is winning a premiership with someone like tracey

Terrell’s been begging him to come here ever since he signed.
I’m certainly not asking for Connor Tracey as our fullback.
He’s a good wholehearted player, but as you say not someone who makes opposing teams shake in their boots.

Dragons will be offering ridiculous money for Bula after their performances
I once took a job once for money and lasted a little over a year. Ill never make that mistake again.
I thought you were calling for a swap if bula was to leave? Maybe I got you mixed up with someone else.

Its ironic isn't it, Moses advised Galvin to leave for his 'development' but will also advise Bula to go to the Dragons.
No idea how any player can think that guy has their best interest at heart.

I meant that as fullback maybe?
He’s a footballer, can play from 1-6.

Absolutely! Nothing we can do about all that hogwash. Let's focus on the positive leadership and vibe provided by Benji and pray to God the Tigers keep winning because it will keep all the board rubbish in the background, where it belongs!

Surely he's being played out of position. From what I've heard, his greatest potential is as an edge running backrower.
