Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Moh]

Really hope JAC is next. The opportunities the Leilua brothers will be creating need speed to finish them off.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

maybe it will be aiken and JL in centres with jennings and momo on the wings
maybe Nofo at fullback as someone said earlier as he was training there

Where does Mbye fit in though? Captain of the club will have to be in there somewhere. Mbye is a decent fullback if he can get his problems under the high ball sorted.

Hooker

 

[NT_Tiger]

Why do I have a feeling Canberra will have a go at JAC now and move Cotric to the centres. Young fella will be banned for awhile or his contract will be torn up no doubt

I can't see that one happening. JAC wants to get back to Sydney.

 

[Compass]

Mbye hitting the pass off Luciano would work very nicely I think.

This idea of being able to sign a player a year in advance is crazy. I personally think this should only be allowed where a club has given permission for a player to look elsewhere prior to his contract finishing. I believe where a player is coming off contract there should be a signing window say from Oct to end of Nov. Outside of the window the only signings should be where a club and a player have agreed to part ways. Of course clubs are still going to sound players out before the signing period but without being able to sign anyone it avoids the farce that we have with this kid and Arrow.

Then if some poor player gets injured around that time they have no future security. They shouldn't be forced to leave it until the end of their contract to secure their futures.

Thats true but with the current setup it could be even worse. Say Uto has a career ending injury this year. All he gets is his minimum wage payout from the slime for this year. Our contract of 800k becomes null and void. So in that scenario the kid loses out big time by signing over 12 months in advance.

I’m a big believer in players should take the most money available to them at the time. These guys put their body’s amd health on the line for 40 odd weeks a year in a game that can chew them up and spit them out at the click of the fingers. Clubs should be loyal to their players but I don’t believe players should be as loyal to clubs with taking “discounts” I’ve said it before, the average NRL career is 4-5 years. Make the money while you can.

Allegedly, LM is taking less to be at South's. You would believe that a manager would have a moral as well as professional obligation to direct his client to the highest offer. I am interested in learning your views on LM and acceptance of the Soths' deal.

If u think for one moment LM is not getting a back hander from Souths in some form or another ur kidding your self.

Just because I have that belief doesn’t mean players do. I’m just dumbfounded anyone would forgo significant money when your career could be over tomorrow. With latrell, it boggles the mind. Especially only a 1+1 club option at “low money” effectively if his career ended tomorrow he has cost him self in the vicinity of 2 million dollars by choosing his current deal over the tigers deal.

It's either arrogance or ignorance - can't work it out.

Seeing we are signing brothers the trjobevic brothers should be our next focus

Zero chance of either of them ever leaving manly.Both of them are very proud manly juniors and as long as the club dosent go under they will stay there

Good, I like seeing players stick and stay.
Even though Manly are selling the silverware for them I wouldn’t like to see them at another club.

I will always respect any player who stays at their origional club.When loyalty is completely removed ftom our game it will be a very sad day

Yep, it’s not like they rejected big money to stay for a pittance. Their ‘home’ club have given them a really good deal apparently.

 

[Strider]

I can't see Mbye doing better at hooker than Benji or Reynolds or Liddle. So 4th best hooker in our squad. How much is he on? 😛 All the best to him though. I do wish him the best at what ever position He is slotted into. He might ease into it and prove me wrong ✌️

Off course they did but they could have got a lot more from at least one other club (dogs)

 

[tigger19]

Liddle is first choice hooker once he is fully recovered and fit,Benji has only ever filled in at hooker, his defence would let him down if kept in that position,Mybe is a better defender than Benji and Reynolds imo,has a good passing and kicking game,good speed out of dummy half and capable of playing big minutes.Dont think he will play 80 minutes though, most likely Walters will play the last 10 mins of the first half,and first 10 of the second.

Except ours of course!
Would love those 2 here, they seem like absolute champs on and off the field. Rare these days.

He is a few years too late. He could've been one half of the fat dugong pair in Russ's movie Noah.

You honestly believe he forewent money?
