Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Canadian Club]

Manly's house of cards looking shakey.

Turbo already missing games with the hamstring.

DCE moving on.

Seibs will get harpooned IMO.

Not even hating on Manly, I personally think Seibold is the worst coach in the competition. He's been carried by a talent filled roster. Even when you see the good things Manly do, its the same things/plays/habits that pre-dated Seibold. In my opinion, Seibold is the weakest link at Manly and has held them back from capitalising on the DCE-Turbo era. They're no better than when Des was there and would have been better sticking it out with Des for longer.

If Benji got sacked tomorrow and you gave me the pick of any of the other 16 coaches, Seibold would be my last pick.

Yeah, flogging Canberra was just a glitch in the Matrix.

I don't get the dogs. They have Burton and Mitch Woods coming through.

There’s always room for better players.
But then again Gus is so loyal to his players….., sorry I wasn’t getting enough sarcasm into that comment.

I’m not sure I’d be going anywhere near Siebs if I was playing.
There’s no loyalty in the NRL.

Moses requestrd a release to bring Galvin across to Manly at the end of 2023. They're the biggest threat IMO.

He’s managed by Moses. I said it weeks ago, Moses will try and line up Galvin for another one of his clients

Interesting that DCE is leaving Manly and from the media report I read on MSN, intends to continue playing. Are Manly not willing to match offers from other clubs or, is DCE intending to return home to the Dolphins or another QLD club? It seems Richardson's setting of boundaries with Moses over Galvin will have consequences for Manly. It seems Manly were aware DCE would not re-sign.

Royce Hunt? Small moter? Come on. He plays 30 mins a game and has done for most of his career. Ya nuts?

That play proved to all that witnessed it that he's got the 6.2 litre V8 in an era where smaller 4 cylinder turbos proliferate, sometimes it's nice to have a lumbering under stressed power plant with power to burn when it's really needed. 🤣

 

[Red88_Tiger]

DCE to the chooks makes sense imo
Doesn’t have to uproot his family but the only downside is he will have to take a paycut 😂😂😂

 

[hank37w]

Was he REALLY??

He shat the bed on his first conversion attempt...

And despite being named at centre - Ryles had him defending outside Samrani because he was so bad in his preferred position...

And his retreating defence with a rookie centre inside him - for the Xerri try was totally inexcusable for an Origin/Test rep!!

He has always done fancy stuff - but routinely gets the basics wrong and is more often on the losing side as a result!

Give the guy a break, he hasn't unleashed his devastating flick pass to the winger yet, you know, the one that 9 times out of 10 goes over the side line. 🤣

To be fair, he was the best player on field for the Parra-sites (probably both sides for that matter) and the rest just stood back hoping he could pull off a famous victory for them.

what i got told is they would be happy to move brooks on for final year 2027 to get galvin if need be if he became available.

Steph looks like a 70's era pimp.

He'd look good in one of those fur coats.

Would come in handy during a Melbourne Winter as well.

 

[hank37w]

Its not necessarily a straight equation like that..u cld start him and stretch him to 50 mins and not lose a lot.
Some big forward packs coming up and were down at least one middle
And btw,Id like to see May play just a little less...fear he will burn out by mid season

Agree, Benji did it with Api.

DCE moving on.

Is DCE moving on though?
The king of the backflips said he's leaving, we've heard that from him before. It's just a meaningless utterance.
Nobody told DCE when he was young that the only thing a man will ever own in life is his word and his good name, everything else can be taken away from you.

Probably a fallout after this DCE news, could be player unrest. Olakuatu? F*ck he'd be an amazing get for us. He's very close with the Fainus could be our drawcard.

Lol... the best revenge on Stef is he now has to live in Melbourne.

DCE on 100% footy soon after said respectfully no

Wow, I just can't picture him as anything other than a Manly player, if he does go and plays on my moneys on the Roosters.

Over time you could get Hunt playing more minutes, though how that affects his impact iv no idea till it happens, which it prob will.

Pencil neck has always chased the money which is why he nearly left years but had to reneg when Manly threw a bottomless pit of money at him to get him to change his mind.Good player but many Manly supporters dislike him the same way they disliked Bob Fulton and for the same reasons.

Well Lomax is the better all round player, but for half the contract value Turuva is doing brilliantly for us so far.
In a perfect world we would have Lomax at right centre with Turuva on the wing, but that never happened, so Taylan May would be a decent recruit rather than just sticking with two of your favourites in Doueihi and To’a, don’t you think ?

Doueihi one of my favourites???

The fact that Ryles already has Lomax defending on the wing outside a three game rookie suggests he is not the centre we need!

Im not quite sure if that is all accurate mate. Manly prioritsed Foran, until he went to Parra, they then threw the kitchen sink at DCE to avoid losing both.
