WHY TIGERS SHOULD OFFER MANU NORTH OF $1 MILLION A YEAR

BY 2 HOURS AGO

Sydney Roosters strike centre Joseph Manu is set to receive some big contract offers with his current deal expiring at the end of 2022.
Having been linked to a move with the All Blacks, Manu could make the switch to rugby union or demand near $1 million per season from rival clubs in the NRL.
As he’s able to start negotiating with rival clubs come November 1 this year, SEN host Joel Caine believes the Wests Tigers should make him an offer he can’t refuse.
He discussed Manu’s market value with Bryan Fletcher on SEN 1170 Drive.
Caine: “What’s Joey Manu going to get in the open market? Is it $1 million bucks?”
Fletcher: “It’s $1 million dollars”
Caine: “If I’m the Wests Tigers, they need a star, you can’t just plod away, you need a star.”
“I would say, ‘Listen Joey, here’s $1.3 (million)’, it’s ridiculous money and it doesn’t add up in any world.
“However, how easily can you waste that extra $300k on a bit-part player anyway?”
Fletcher: “They tried that with Latrell, they offered him $1.2 (million) and he knocked them back.”
Caine: “We’ve seen it with Turbo (Tom Trbojevic) with Manly, they can shift the fortune.”
“You can have all these workers and players but you need to have the star.”
While the Roosters want to hold on to the 25-year-old, he will reportedly receive bids from the Warriors, Broncos and Titans who want to make him the competition’s next million-dollar player.

I agree. Manu's a player you sign and work out what position he plays later. I'd personally have him at 6. the amount of space he'd open up for Laurie out the back would be sensational.

well he could easily play 1, but I think he's a better 6 than Laurie. it's a matter of making it all fit. someone suggested Doueihi to 7, I don't hate that either. like I said though, you sign him and ask questions later.

SMH. Why would you break the bank for him and play him out of position?

Amazing.
Would require the powers that be to actually get out of the chairs and do some recruitment though, which they've seem awfully reluctant to do.

Manu is not worth $1m. Middle of the road player for the roosters, bludges a lot of games with minimal input & throws in the odd blinder every couple of months.

Have no doubt that he has the skills to be a superstar, but not sure that he has the application.

THat money is insane money for a centre (although he would make a good fullback) but Manu is a player I'd endorse paying overs for.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

We need to first get 17 players on the field to play consistent solid football and achieve significant improvement on the table and then and only then will we be in position to attract and recruit couple top line players.
Until then paying someone $1M plus is a waste of time for all concerned.
So yea ….. dream on F Troopers.

Would rather Manu over Guth but not for 1.3m
1 Mil would be the max I would offer but if the club picked him up I would be very happy. Do I think we have a chance of getting him - NO unfortunately

.

The issue as I see it is if we keep offering the same money as elite clubs the players are more than likely going to knock us back and we end up with no marquee player and end up having to pay a higher price per player to make sure we pay the salary cap floor (think I heard it was 95% of the cap minimum).
I’d rather pay overs for one player that we think can win us games than ultimately pay overs for what we have left to sign / re-sign

 

[the_third]

like I said though, you sign him and ask questions later.

He would probably ask the question before he thought about signing though
