Wouldn't think we would lose Wakes, unless we wanted to...if we lose wakeham we are in trouble we don't have much backup
I think he was referring to losing Wakeham thru injury not that he is leaving us.Wouldn't think we would lose Wakes, unless we wanted to...
Despite him being solid for us, not many clubs would he lining up... and that's fine.
I feel he's earned an extension.
He's better than Will Smith, Laurie, Pellow, etc.

Daddy’s keeping him in the game, he’ll get found out at Manly
I'd give Wakes 2 years on $220k. more than proved himself as a backup half for the next few years and could even play a bigger role than that.He deserves an extension but not as the premier half salary or length. Would come down to how much other clubs are offering and probably more importantly the contract length.
Considering he was weeks away from being out of the NRL for good can imagine if we offered a 1yr deal and another club offered a 3yr term he would jump at the 3yrs.
It's too soon to write off a guy fresh to the club. He's thrown a couple of beautiful short balls to put his outside man through gaps but his defence is ordinaryand he can disappear in games.For those who focus on these things, what’s the initial reaction to our new Reggie, Pellow ?
Any signs of talent etc ?
Apart from the announcement, as Sergeant Schultz would say “ I know nuzzing” !

His brother in junior graded is better but Jake isn’t terrible as a backup option. Need to remember he is 20, made his debut as an 17/18yr old.
Not a bad pickup for Manly.
Parra won on the roster move with Tracey inbound especially if they get Joffa.
Hey that’s very generous of you to give Wakes $220K if you have that much cash laying around you can throw a few bucks my way.😂I'd give Wakes 2 years on $220k. more than proved himself as a backup half for the next few years and could even play a bigger role than that.
yeah I think he has improved his game a bit over the last 12 months, still he is not our answer and we already have a hand full of average halves don't we?His brother in junior graded is better but Jake isn’t terrible as a backup option. Need to remember he is 20, made his debut as an 17/18yr old.

Yeah unfortunately, Gus very rarely doesn't get his man. One way or another.would love 7. Hunt 6. Brooks next year but not going to happen.
I thought Joffa had signed with Parra for 2024, but we are entertaining the possibility of an easy release this season?Just on the Joffa situation "Lee Hagipantelis on Joe Ofahengaue: There were preliminary discussions, but Joe had not been released and he has still not been released."
I wonder if another solution has been found a bit like we did with Rowdy, he's only 27 clearly drives a culture with our Islander contingent maybe we put forward an extra year last year being close to minimum wage but spread the other 2 yrs across those 3 yrs. So will only be 30-31 by the end of that deal and is on a tick over $400 a year over that time.
Maybe Sheens and Tartak don't see eye to eye .....hopefully there is a logical reason ...probably not ...but maybe lolThat would be embarrassing, Lee and Justin are not part of the football department and have no business being involved in any discussions about the squad
