Manly making room for Addo-Carr

Having lost Waddell, Thompson and now Addin Fonua Blake I would presume that Manly need to bolster their pack rather than look to a winger (given Turbo is their preferred fullback then JAC would play wing - that is when Turbo actually is fit).

 

[balmain boy]

I’ve heard he’s looking at Newcastle

They already have Klemmer and Saifiti. Two blues props. 3 big money props is highly unlikely

 

[jrtiger]

you'd have to have your money on him heading home to NZ.

Addin Fonua Blake is requesting a release from Manly so he can move out of Sydney

We can move our training out of Sydney for him can’t we?

Would be so good for us I reckon. Explosive damaging aggressor. Shame about the Sydney part though.


Campbelltown is out of Sydney isnt it?

Better still so is Camden!

Manly never lose players they want to keep..

Good old Camden ??

Doubt it, too much cash already tied up in their forward pack. I'd say Warriors, Titans or Dragons - biggest need for him and most available cap space.

Base him at Camobelltown

If Fonua Blake doesn't end up at the Titans I'm not here. He's a peanut and he wants the Byron/Gold Coast antivax life.

Possibly. I’d say it’s between Dragons and Titans. Dragons would be keen on him, having missed out on Tamou. The paper reports he used to live in Wollongong and has been coached by Anthony Griffin in the past.

They’re spending millions on Fifita and Tino already I’d be surprised if they spent big on another forward.

Warriors seems the logical one, if not them then dragons he was a junior there but then again I’m pretty sure they sacked him.

If he goes there they will have one almighty pack of forwards.

From Brent Read...

Cowboys do not have salary cap space for Fonua-Blake, although talk of Josh McGuire leaving would change that. However, understand Joe Ofahengaue is more likely for Dragons than McGuire. Warriors shortening for Fonua-Blake by minute

Warriors deserve some good news/signings.

If he ends up at the Titans that's going to be one heck of a pack.

JAC wants to have a crack at FB. I doubt he's going to take on Tommy Turbo.

 

[JC99]

Warriors would have Murdoch-Masila and AFB. Two absolute lumps in the front row good luck tackling them

Making the 8 will not be easy, cant see any of the top 5-6 teams losing their way in 2021. Also Titans and Manly both look like improving next season you would think.
So either huge strides forward needed with most of our current squad or some more recruitment is essential. As we stand, even adding Tamou and JAC our roster probably won’t be good enough.

I'm with you. Tamou and JAC will make us better than this year but if Sharks don't have guys like Shaun Johnson out, Turbo full season with Walker, our loss of Harry Grant too, us hoping Brooks returns to 2018 form but not sure, feels like somewhere 8th to 10th is likely. Probably 2022 when we have shed more players we will be higher up there.
