Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[batboy]

DCE and Brooks? And now Fogerty? All 30+.

As opposed to two 19 year olds and a 28yr old.

Think about it.

Don’t need to - wasn’t talking about any of them, you’ve heard of Walsh right?
You think they’re going to hand the team over to 2 kids? They’re not the wests tigers.

Are you suggesting Large should’ve requested a get out clause if Walsh stays? Not quite sure what your point is here.

I’d say Walsh and Large are essentially on par with each other.

DCE to tigers hopefully
7 DCE
6 Luai

 

[jirskyr]

Funny how he’ll be 4th string at Manly for the next 3 years.

If Richo had put his giant ego aside during negotiations, he’d be 3rd string behind an injury prone Latu next year.

No more get-out clauses please

 

[old_man_tiger]

DCE, KPP and Taylan seem possible from a the whispers. Id take all 3 but would love to know who the 1 or 2 props/locks joinging us will be.

Fa'alogo signed an extension with the Storm until the end of 2028. But reporter Michael Chammas claims the Storm have a verbal agreement with Fa'alogo that if they re-sign Papenhuyzen he can seek a deal elsewhere.

He would be a good get. Samoan 🇼🇸 and electric.

To think DCE would ever consider the tigers is laughable.

 

[Needaname]

Sounds like we are in the market for a 7... Luai to stay as a 6.

Interesting listen.

Richo & Reynolds go way back... One option. DCE? Not many others 7's really.

Give Latu another year to mature.

Money in the bank, see what drops out of the tree!

Could we be a Smokey for Fogarty?
I can’t see why we aren’t going for a game managing kicking half that’s potentially getting just over 500k over the next 3 years at 31.
He’ll be 34 when it’s done. Heck you could even push it to a 4 year contract to lock him in.

Yeah hed seem to fit as well as Cronk would

Not confirmed as yet. I’ve heard of teams sneaking in at the 11th hour and grabbing a player.

If Brooks doesn’t perform next year I’d guess he will be shafted for Large anyways in 2027. Give him the Klemmer treatment of Reggie’s or finding another team lol

I reckon KPP, Taylan and poles bro!

He doubled down on his comments that only him and Benji know about our targets, and explained his philosophy is patience. Hopefully worth the wait.

I love that.
He mentioned a club with Salary cap trouble surely that’s indicating Newcastle with the Brown and Ponga deals.
Also Brisbane would be suffering a similar fate next year. I have a sneaky feeling we may be in for Adam Reynolds.

Don't Manly regard Large as a centre or fullback, not a 5/8?

 

[boonboon]

My guesses are that the 3 players we sign will be
Adam Reynolds
KPP
Ethan Bullemore

Could be totally wrong though given Richo plays his cards close to his chest

And Large left because he wanted to be a 5/8?

 

[Fainu Brothers]

I think Taylan May is a certain

Maybe KPP, would rather him at backrow than Seyfarth.

What about Selwyn Cobbo? Richo has massive opinion and compared him to Inglis!

And maybe DCE or Reynolds. Latu 14 and given time to get his body up to playing 80mins week in week out

There is room for both KPP and Seyfarth in our top 17.
