Does anyone know how long for?

one year

Saw something about nathaniel roache having a one year deal with us (i think)

 

[mickqld]

Morgan Boyle has just re-signed.

Good for about 3 games every two years.

But guessing we have to have 30, and he wouldn’t be expensive.

Just when I thought we were looking for beyond mediocrity. Oh well.

Yeah but don’t forget , we need 30, and the last 3 or 4 probably won’t get a game.

Unless we have injuries.

Boyle with no injuries is usually pretty decent, but trouble is, his injury time out number his game time tho.

Is James Roumanos still part of the squad for 2023?

 

[manly al]

Sorry mate but have to disagree. The gap from Flegg to NRL is huge and the fact these guys aren't getting meaningful time in NSW Cup to adjust to playing men with NRL experience is hindering their development. We need to come up with a viable NSW Cup option and use it as a pathway from Flegg to NRL for players like Weekes. If after half a season or so they're killing it in NSW Cup then by all means bring them through.

The benchmark is the Panthers setup and not many of them skip the NSW Cup step.

Really more a wishing and a hoping in regards to Weekes stepping up to a capable 6 role but showed in that least game against the Dogs that he is at least prepared to have a go . Has apparently played a heap of games in the halves in the juniors , realize that josh shu will have i st crack as the 6 but still a bit of a void at 13 .Taking into account that Jake virtually was only playing half a game there when Walker played quite considerable minutes there . Really just don "t want to see a repetition of the Nicko Hynes outcome with Weekes , again realize he has to still measure up but plenty of eventual good i st grade players have progressed from under 20 's to i st grade without too much of a transition .

Fainu has done to the tigers

 

[40 nil]

Fainu has done to the tigers

It was Sione who signed with the Tigers. Both Samuela & Latu are still with Manly. Latu played both Ball & Flegg in 2022, but I think Samuela only played Ball.

Samuela also played flegg this year.

Yeah well going on the last few years of injuries we'll be into the development squad by about Rd 6.

Good choice with Samuela, though maybe a season away....he is seen by many as the most outstanding of the Fainu clan and still a growing boy, who actually played halves as a youngster and has the skills to accomodate his size and big motor.

some interesting suggestions there.

I wouldn't have Ray Vaega in there over Tuipulotu.

I like that you put Jake at prop but doubt Fainu ready to start at first grade next year. A bench spot at best.

Nathan Brown would be worth a shot at lock for the right price. And agree that Lawton worth a look as well when he returns from injury at that position.

We've got to get off thinking about well worn battering rams like Brown and Klemmer or Frizell. They've had their day in the sun, time for some young bulls.

Where's our marquee signings after losing 3 marquee level players?

 

[stoodamire]

Snippet from The Telegraph.

would be good depth signing. Esp for Turbo

Meanwhile, Canterbury and former Queensland fullback Corey Allan is being shopped to rival clubs and could land at either Parramatta or Manly for 2023.

Allan, 24, has another season to run on his current contract at Belmore.

Despite being primarily a winger or fullback, there are suggestions Allan could be offered to Manly and Parramatta as a centre.

Any deal struck would include Canterbury paying up to 50 per cent of Allan’s salary.

Canterbury will accommodate Allan for this coming season if interest at rivals clubs is minimal but the ex-Maroons star would be permitted to leave should he secure a deal.

Allan does have a relationship with former Bulldogs coach and new Eels assistant, Trent Barrett.

The Roosters had been linked with Allan but winger Tui Katoa is now on a train-and-trial deal at Bondi.

It is understood any rival club seeking to sign Allan would take him immediately.

Allan, who was named in the Bulldogs’ 30-man roster released this week, is on a salary believed to be around $500,000 for the 2023 season.

Parramatta’s starting centres for next season are expected to be Will Penisini and Bailey Simonsson.

Regular Eels centre Tom Opacic has joined Hull KR.

Manly’s centre pairing to start next season will come from Tolu Koula, Brad Parker or Morgan Harper

Not sure what source you're quoting but they obviously didn't see the big news about Garrick being given a shot at centre.
