Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Ultimate Warrior]

Oh, and if I recall correctly his highlights video had an AC DC sound track. (TNT I think)

Much better than some of that Rap Crap a lot of them subject you to these days.

Idk why RL highlights videos have to have music at all. It’s the only code where highlight videos have garbage music over them.

Mmm don’t know if I agree with that one....

 

[Cairnstigers]

Wow didn't Fitzgibbon's light fade in a heartbeat..

Yeah, funny that. Turns out you need more than speed to make it in the NRL.

That said I still think he's got potential, but the comparisons between him and JAC are ridiculous.

In all seriousness apart from speed I'm not sure what JAC possesses. He's a defensive spud like most wingers....or fullbacks these days.

Reads the game and works hard to get himself in the right positions. You definitely have a headstart with his speed, but if it was all about speed then clubs would just be out signing sprinters.

I still remember that guy we signed from Union, John Grant I think his name was? Really tall and super fast but never got close to first grade.

What about Darren Clark in the Alan Jones days

Jones certainly knows how to pick a dud both on and off the field

The trouble is Clark was predominantly a 400m runner and a footy field ain't that long!

Jeez. Ya wouldn't want AJ picking at ya duds.

Judging on tonight's form we definitely dodged a bullet passing on Josh Mansour

Leg speed from 1,6,7and 9 as well as good hands,combined with agressive forwards wins games. SPEED AND POWER.

The trouble is Clark was predominantly a 400m runner and a footy field ain't that long!

Darren was quick over a hundred as well, but lucky to make the run on side of his local North Ryde Juniors with the other aspects of the game.

Edit; Cini couldn't possibly be worse.

Another coaching display display from Bellyache. Shut down the 9 and 6 in the first half and Souths looked legless. Dropped off in the 2nd half, as sides do with a big lead. Speed from Storms 1,6,7 and 9 were always in control.

Cini, Madden & Talau were in that Aus Schoolboys team and Cini was the pick of the 3.

 

[The_Patriot]

Not sure why Cini cops a hard time.

Way too early to write him off.

He wanted a three-year deal, right? *Shudder*

I know this name has popped up in the past, but can we go all out for Schuster?

Surely not happy to witness Manly sign someone at the end of their career and start them.

If we get rid of Mbye by the end of the season, throw that money at him. He's such a gun.

Mbye is contracted with WT for 2022 season, so that throws your idea out the window.

Could always offer Mbye up for a trade, never know he may accept it. Turbo misses chunks of the season often, they have a large hooker shortage and Foran is often injured as well. He would have a higher chance to start at Manly than with us.

Wishing Mbye his best year ever in 2021.

Only then can the Club and the Player entertain mutually beneficial options.

eed Mbyes money.

Me thinks a spare 800K odd will certainly help with recruitment in general.

Above all, **the thing we need most are WINS, This will ensure we keep those we want and pay the right price for others to join.**

He is on $850k .... I reckon we do!

How long have you been following the game to think that matters?

And rumours of moving him on have been going on for a while, taking captaincy and not including him in the leadership group is also further hints.

I have nothing against Mbye, and hope he goes well for us. Just saying his money would help land Schuster.
