How much is Makasini on the next few years

About 400k too much unfortunately.

The imminent arrival of Tupou, Dumpster, Schuster and Kyle Lovett will steer our season back on course. We can still reach the magic 10 wins.

Benji is watching with a blindfold on.
He seems to be happy with a slow, boring, predictable backline who could not bust a tackle if their life depended on it.

Averillo has pace and I would be targeting Tyrell Sloan.

Never thought id agree to Sloan but geez we need extra speed. Bula has not been a great threat with our current backline squad. I hope that some of our new signings can give him more opportunities to take up the attack.

The pile on on Makasini is over the top.

He’s an 18 year old playing injured. Shouldn’t be relied on but he’s there because we have no depth.

Judge him when he’s 21.

Not a bad call re Sloan if he would take $200-$250k max but he’ll probably go to ESL and win Man of Steel.

The reality is no one can be helped unless they want to be. Hopefully Josh has turned a corner and Benji can be a mentor.

There is the will and there is the way.

I don't know if Shulster has the will and realises his NRL ends here. No one will take him after Benji if he keeps failing.

Even if he does realise this, there is the way. I very much want to do and learn a lot of things. Instead I waste my time saying crap here.

Manly paid way too much to a developing player.

He has the talent, and the potential is there. I feel that Benji can ignite the will.

Agreed, the fans on this forum fickle superficial morons at times.. makasini is an 18 yo rookie, injured, in the wet being run down by dom young and ponga ,,, when tired etc with the ball.. give him a damn break,, when he strikes form you’ll be screaming that he will leave us and demand loyalty.. how about showing some for once , he is playing nrl against origin centres and internationals all season and still turning up and making ground and breaks.. I’ll take maka any day of thr week,, the kid is all class

Sloan’s defence is putrid. Has some speed.

I dont think Tupou has the right to be calling out what kind of contract he wants
seeing as he hasnt exactly set the nrl on fire in the last two clubs he has been at.
A developement deal suits well. Then that will put it all up to him to earn a top 30 deal.

Has anyone heard him speak (ever)
His manager would be trying to snooker us with a deal he doesn’t deserve…
Hope we can come up trumps

When he’s 21 and jumped ship?

There are some genuine speedsters among that lot.

Sloan would be great IF we had a fullback such as Dylan Edwards who contributes well with the yardage out of our own danger zone.
Unfortunately we don’t have that, so it would be a yardage disaster if we had Bula, Averillo and Slloan all in our team.
It’s a big concern as we once again have our balance all wrong with fielding a backline that should ideally have a balance of speed, size, power, skill, aerial ability and aggressive defence.

I don't agree with what you have written but respect that you have taken the time to explain your position. A player like Sloan is different, just as JAC and Koroibete were at the WTs. He needs a coach like Marshall to get the best from him. Hopefully Marshall values the attributes he brings to a team. Defence can be taught, whereas blinding pace is a gift.
