30 June Deadline

[damiennp90]

So team.

Have I missed something. No new player announced yet and plenty by other teams.

Are we saving all our money for next year ?

I think Baz mentioned recently he wasn't rushing in to pick up also rans.... not a lot of quality available for pick up.

 

[brad]

This time last 2 years, was a frenzy.

 

[wombatgc]

Luke Lewis would've come in handy right now.

 

[Holmsey]

We don't need anyone at the moment.

 

[Harvies elbow]

And Baz said recently that we are going to do some upgrading and retention with some judicious buying.
So I guess we'll retain and just purchase a couple of quality players in key positions.
Sounds good.

I haven't heard anything from the Canadian theatre critic so I guess no signings for us!

 

[HappilyManly]

Fox has Manly chasing James Roberts

We don't need a cokehead or any of his other bad traits 😎

 

[mave]

Roberts seems like a real wanker, a real quick wanker.

No thanks.

 

[Loobs]

Maybe our fax machine is broken

 

[HappilyManly]

Agreed.
Link? All I could find was old stuff.

Cant see Bennett letting him go. He's been one of their best and they have lost Moga already to Newcastle.

It was on 500 Nrl news segment by that Qld Reporter '5 clubs are after him, Manly are interested'

[Shoe1]

Is the deadline 23:59:59 tonight?

 

[Shoe1]

The nrl would do better to align with the winter solstice 22 June, to attract more pagans and wiccans to the sport.

While depth is certainly an issue for the playing squad at present, the salary cap balance is probably still a major consideration and a delicate balance as well . Parker , Bainbridge , Jorge and Frank Winterstein are still apparently yet to be resigned and Tom and Jake"s upgrade earlier this year was quite substantial . Also i was just thinking how this present Manly playing group and all things well on the injury front compares with the 2013 squad that made the G F and it would seem to compare quite favorably. Tom - Snake , Wright - Jorge , Lyon - Walker , Matai - Kelly , Uate - Wolfie , Green - Foz, D C E , Jake - Gifty , Choc - Siro , Winterstein - Horo , Marty- Kite , A P I - Ballin , B J . Bench - Hastings - Jamie , Darcy - T Red , A F B - Rose, Perrett - Gower . So every season is different of course and an element of luck is required but if this present playing squad can make the finals and have their beat team available , they will be more then competitive in the final "s play offs.

Probably don't have the cap space to sign anyone particularly interesting. We might get someone small (a la the Raiders signing Knight and Oldfield at the last minute) before the end of the day, with whatever we have left from releasing Myles... but considering Matai and Stewart are still on our books I doubt we have much in the cap at all.

 

[Woodsie]

Only 1 day to go before Greenslime approves Snake and Matai's medical retirement.

Not optimistic Happy, just sure Toddy has had it on his "to do" list for the 1st July.

 

[Ned]

Only 1 day to go before Greenslime approves Snake and Matai's medical retirement.

Probably optimistic that Toddy would work on a Saturday!!

 

[Eagles2nv]

Thought that mabye we wouold have got sipley accross by the deadline.

 

[Bird of Prey]

Happy with the squad Manly have at the moment we are a bit sus with depth but I have confidence in the club and the coaching staff that any dramas will be covered.
