Lol, why.....

 

[WT2K]

Only for the remainder of this season.

@WT2K

I guess if its remainder of the season it doesnt hurt but he is not the type of player we particularly need.

 

[Telltails]

Stunned.

 

[jadtiger]

Have never thought much of him as a player and this wont change my mind

From the article -

Wests Tigers are understood to be signing Mannah mid-season for a bargain price. It is unknown whether Wests Tigers have plans to sign Mannah for another season in 2020

If any body needed any motivation to think Maguire is not the coach that was needed this signing surely speaks for itself . First signing Jennings major plodder playing Reggie’s now . Second signing Mannah 31 year old plodder ...this club is a total shambles .. told you all the board will find another has been plodder 2 days ago ! What is wrong with this organisation...

Not a great way to treat a very loyal player. Mannah has a great work ethic.

Hard nosed professional .....younger forwards can learn a lot

We could of done worse

You write the article, Happy 🤔
Wests Tigers will sign Mannah due to his strong work ethic, his ability to nurture rookies and his professionalism. The Tigers also need front-rowers.

 

[WT2K]

Negotiations are expected to conclude Tuesday when the deal will be formally announced by Wests Tigers.

Parramatta recently told Mannah, aged 31, that his future beyond this season was uncertain.

Mannah comes off contract after this year and was expected to leave Australia for the English Super League.

But Wests Tigers entered negotiations late and look to have signed the veteran prop although there is still a possibility talks could fall over late.

 

[Tigerdave]

wow, that came out of nowhere............so Packer going then?

 

[swag_tiger]

@Tigerdave reckon so, Mannah's average meters is 99 per game with isn't bad.
