How long is John Morris with us?

4 year term

 

[Nonotmeagain]

I see what you did there. 👍🏻
Yeah they cuzzez, Will is 31, this bloke is 25 and played plenty of rugby already and his stats weren’t worth writing home about, feels a bit like you’ve just pick up a new girl, taken her out, and two of ya mates go “I’ve been there already”. Ya still keen bcoz she’s still new to you, but ya now asking what’s wrong with her

Agreed.

I’d take Nathan Brown off Manly for 2 years and swap to Bateman.

It's not going to happen either.

4 year term

Until he asks for a release.

Good.
I’d prefer flippers than brown.

Schuster now officially released by Manly.
He would now only command about 250-300k maximum and I know it’s far from ideal recruiting known lazy trainers who carry that same laziness into game days, however not many players possess the size and talent of Schuster.
In NRL terms 250-300k is a low risk, if the player gets his act together, trains hard and produces his best we have a bargain, if he continues to be lazy we simply don’t re-son him past this season.

I don't think he has been officially released yet, just free to explore his options.
If he comes here with his head screwed on I would pay 300k max.

Why would we swap Nathan Brown in for Bateman?

I mean we could have signed Nathan Brown when he was looking to leave Parramatta. Hey I don't mind him as a player, but he probably has only 2 years of footy left.

Also if Parra is forking out 800k for Lomax, we may be able to interest them in taking Nathan Brown off their hands. We need a Depth forward but we really need a more Dynamic second rower. Luciano Leulia would really suit our current side if he was going for 300k and not this dilusion of 900k.

Nathan Brown has not played for Pawwa since 2022 so no deals for him from them,last year he was a rorter and this year an eagle

Schuster now officially released by Manly.

He has been given 2 weeks leave to work things out for himself.

 

[Kaito]

Galvin just said on 9 that he wants to be a WT and credits this to Marshall. He seems like a really good young fellow.

The Roosters didn’t want him a few weeks back and it was only poor form from the back rowers that were being selected in front of him that allowed him to get his NRL starting spot back.
It’s highly likely the Roosters will now realise he’s their best edge forward Andrew-sign him with a few brown paper bags to help clinch the deal, BUT sometimes knowing the club you spilled blood for didn’t want you burns deep and he may want look for a new challenge because of it.
In either case we could t afford him unless we offload one of our incumbents.

Officially released straight away, Manly claiming his contract has been terminated based on him not meeting performance based requirements.
I just think it may be the kick up the backside he needs and I think it would be worth taking a risk on him at 250-300k for the remainder of this season.

thankfully Benji thinks differently… he is no where ready mentally or physically for NRL in the short term

You keep saying officially, can you link me one source that shows it is official? All I have seen is speculation Manly has a weight clause, and Seibold come out an hour ago and say he is taking a 2 week leave.

Zac Lomax set to join Parramatta Eels on four-year, $2.6 million deal

Lomax’s management and the Parramatta Eels are finalising the terms of the deal, which is expected to be worth $2.6 million over the four years of the contract.

www.smh.com.au

Looks like a 4 year 2.6 million deal for Lomax to join Eels. Averages at about 650k a year.

So he is giving up $425k over the next 2 years to leave the Dragons early …. Seems very odd

Offer him a 1yr with 2yr MO deal min contract year 1 and incentives year 2/3 if it works out.
Be very low risk.

Still would like to see Addo Carr on the wing for us.
