Manly attempt to prise Curtis Sironen from Wests Tigers
SMH.com.au - November 1, 2016 - 3:15 pm0
The Sironen surname is synonymous with the Tigers, but that could change if Manly have their way.

The Sea Eagles are attempting to prise Curtis Sironen out of Concord, although the move will depend on whether the clubs can agree to a payout figure. Sironen re-signed with Wests Tigers in June in a move that would keep him there until at least the end of 2018\. However, Manly want to add him to their roster and are prepared to pay the joint-venture club a fee to secure his release.

Sironen has made 62 NRL appearances for the Tigers since his debut four years, although only eight of those came in an injury-interrupted 2016 season. He struggled to squeeze back into the first-grade side at the back end of the year and was instead a part of the Intrust Super Premiership outfit that made it to the finals.

The son of Balmain legend Paul Sironen, the 23-year-old can play at five-eighth but has spent most of his career in the second row. The Sea Eagles are in the midst of a major roster overhaul and view Sironen as a valuable addition if he is prepared to make the switch.

I like how the SMH present it like Manly are trying to pry him away from us against our will like he's a valued commodity :laughing:

We won't let him go without a fight….........................albeit a very meagre one!! I take it Manly are wanting to contribute as little as possible to his contract payments, maybe revenge for Ballin. As long as he is off the books for 2018 or substantially off the books for 20158 then the money can be better spent on keeping Teddy, Moses etc., whereas I assume the Tigers will have to pay a good portion of his 2017 contract.

If Manly want him and it looks like Fulton is very keen to get him make them PAY $100k plus his wage
****** Manly.
That's what I say.

You totally disregarded his off field contributions. Surely your not that stubborn to say his not a champion bloke and his influence on our youngsters, members and community has zero value?

Yes he is a nice person but for some strange reason i thought he was signed to play for us.

Sironen has made three appearances for City and has previously been a member of Blues in Waiting squads that identify potential State of Origin talent.

There will still be a Sironen presence even if Curtis leaves the Tigers. His brother Bailey is also considered an emerging talent and the club is hopeful he could become a regular first-grader in years to come.

Should Sironen depart, it will free up funds to retain off-contract forward Elijah Taylor.

Manly "prising" Siro Jr from our grasp is like Maggie prising Bobo from Monty Burns.

 

[newtiger]

I like the part that says "they will pay to get him"

 

[quintus]

Give Manly the biggest tyre lever on earth to assist them…. :sign:

 

[jadtiger]

I go back a long way but i cant recollect us(Balmain Magpies or Weststigers) ever finishing in front in a deal with manly.We certainly are a loooong way behind, lets hope this squares up the ledger a little.I remain an optimist but the realist in me knows better.
Yes sirro has been ordinary but he does have ability

Yes sirro has been ordinary but he does have ability

What about Craig Field ,John Hopoate , Solomon Haumona , Terry Hill

All absolute legends of the game and all still available on day release programs :laughing:

 

[Fumbles]

Interesting

I've heard manly are making a big play for him

Bozo did say he'd play for Australia one day…

Yes and Mayer believed him forking out 500k a year for a reserve grader.

To be fair, his contract was on a sliding scale, started off modestly and had a juicy carrot as a last year option in his favour. At the time Mayer signed him, most on this forum including me thought young Siro was going to be the real deal. All contracts are gambles to some extent and sadly you do not always get it right

 

[tigerap]

Sirro has turned out to be a major disappointment…look at his frame and one would think he could be anything...since making his debut he has consistently shown that he is inconsistent and lazy, with bricks for hands....a fresh start is what he needs and a relief of his salary is what the WT need....hope it comes off
