That's the thing, the club needed to play hard ball with Tartak to stop him from holding us to ransom every five minutes. I'm comfortable with any decision that minimises the amount of influence that prick has with our salary cap.

Whilst true,the club has basically gone from the frying pan to the fire,with Moses having such a presence.But to be fair,Moses/company,does have a lot of clients in the NRL and 6 coaches on his books
Since we don’t have too much of a bank to sign any top players would offering Franklin Pele a train & trial or something for next year be a possibility? Having a terrible time in England & even loaned to a 2nd division team so I think he’s a good chance on coming back to Australia, fitness or discipline seems to be the main problem? Wasn’t that long ago he was looking like a top young front rower at Sharks, at the worst he’d be a handy player for Blacktown & still only 23

Eels make decision on Gutherson’s future, Matterson to stay
Speculation had been rife that the Eels captain could be on the move at the end of the season. Jason Ryles has put that to bed.
Seems Matterson is now staying put at the Eels.
Got great leg speed, he's a big unit, wouldn't say no if the price is right right.
Weekes, Samuela and Latu, Feledy, Albert Hoppa, Humphreys and Schu are the main 'budding champions' Manly has let go in recent years. Some could yet become top players, but at this stage the 2 Fainus look most likely - and will they even end up as long term Tiger stars? Maybe, but I'd say more likely not.
He's the opposite of what I'd be looking for: couple of ultra fit energetic forwards with a little leg speed, around 100kg, around 50-100 NRL games on the clock, and equally at home in middle or on an edge. (But no idea what the club is looking for)
I think Pele would be good to have to replace guys like Lodge, Sipley even Brown only has a few years left. But I agree a smaller type guy like Hopgood has to be up there as well to balance the squad
At 23 with 2 bench first grade appearences, he can still make it but I don't think he has a first grade career of substance.
Bully is just a year older and is at 80 appearances.
Moses doesn't seem to be going out of his way to destabilize the club to get a bit of extra cash for his clients.
NRL360 tonight spoke of PVL wanting to change the rules on managers, so player managers cant be coach managers and vice versa

We’ll see how that goes.These managers know where the skeletons are buried

Nothing to say some won't return either.

Nice idea, but who is going to specialise in coaches when there are so few of them? Not enough money in the few coaching deals per year. Conversely, there are hundreds of players.
They can sign players but we cant

We are playing for a home final this weekend and they are playing to avoid a 3rd straight wooden spoon
They can pay overs. Royce Hunt is a knob anyway.
