Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Chee-Kam is the Ultimate all time greatest Immortal 18th man in the history of Rugbeh Leegue...
I dare anyone to name a better one..

Takes more than 17 players to make a Club

I think the conjecture is that do w need to reserve an 18th man position.

Hopefully if we do sign him he is paid in the 25-30 player range.

Is a player happy to be continuously picked at 18th man?
Good clubman but that lack of drive means we are in trouble when we are relying on him to fill in for us in a last ditch dash to the finals.
Granted COVID has screwed things a bit in terms of available players of experience, I guess I’ll wait and see what gets decided Sunday arvo in terms of the final team announcement.

I’ll take a resigning announcement of MCK for 1 year as long as Mbye is released and Mikaele and Seyfarth are resigned

We need 30 players. Chee is a great squad signing. I am fine with Woods too. You need 7 props in an nrl squad and he is def in the 7 best props for a good price. Happy with Sironen too. Want to see us re-sign Mikelle but not sold on Seyfarth

I joke about Woods but at the end of the day he easily makes our team. Our forward back is wildly overrated on here.

Agreed. He still averages more meters per game than all of our forwards bar Twal.

So did Tamou before he got here. In saying that, I do think for the right price he could be useful.

If it's a choice between Woods and re-signing someone like Amone, I'd pick Woods. We need players who can play big minutes and not fall apart.

I see nothing in Amone.

He had no off season, coming off acl, could br better with a full off season. He has the right body type but needs to up his game in training and fitness.

Still only 24 - not that old for a prop. Not all young props are like Haas. Most don't hit their straps till about 26.


We’ll be saying the same thing about Stefano when he’s had another 40 games and at age 23.

Stefano is more a Haas type - they come along once in a blue moon.

If you wait only for Props that are like that - we'll be collecting alot of spoons.

I have to disagree, I think Stef is a rare talent and an exceptional recruitment success.

Geez, my excitement level is peaking. 🤣 This is really the best we can do (Woods, Siro, MCK) and none are going to be paid overs. So no worse. Especially if the thief (Mbye) is offloaded. Assuming Lomax is a just a forum dream. Also Curtis and Garner swap or similar?

Close. Some Manly supporter Facebook pages have got us swapping Gosiewski and Suli for Garner.

I rate that.
Probably not true tho.

Id have Suli back happily

When is that signing announcement that Chairman Lee mentioned going to happen? I read about it on here. Like, a few weeks ago and it was imminent then. Is it Woodsy coming back??? Wow ...... that would really make me part with my cash for 2022 Memberships. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best thing to do when Chairman Lee talks is not listen.

Cronulla have extended an NRL lifeline to former Raiders forward Kai O’Donnell after his first-grade career appeared over.

Regarded by the Raiders as physical and a dedicated trainer, O’Donnell will join the Sharks’ bubble later this week after signing a train and trial contract for the remainder of the season.

The 98kg lock-forward was reluctantly released by the Raiders last month as a result of the club needing to cap the amount of players that were allowed to relocate to their Queensland hub at 30

I love how Melbourne go hard at Smith and offer him 600k per year. That is the difference between us and them.

Wow. Garners stocks are up. I’d say Gosieswki is his equal essentially so that’s Suli coming for free.

Wonder how much grovelling he’d have to do to get back in the door?

Don't forget Dugan and Ferguson.

Don’t think that rumour is true
