All we are saying, is Pearce off !

[High-FlyingEagles1]

Joel Thompson is the definition of ****house
Hope we don't get him

4 mil
In the end ,In this materialistic world we live in its all about the money . Show them the money and they are yours !

And I thought he would stay in Sydney for a better chance of winning the ultimate gold.... What a fool I've been...

Its not all lost, expecting Brown to have a breakout year, and save us!

My player manager mate rang this morning telling me that Pearce's manager had contacted NRL asking if a decision on Manly salary cap situation would be resolved soon, or if they could provide any light on the subject, so the Pearce could make his decision on his future. Evidently there was no response. I actual think we maybe victims again.

Also just checked the Knights forum and discussion there was that Newcastle didn't think they would get him because they didn't offer anywhere near what was reported or were prepared to pay, and they had been told Cronulla were the favourites. Feel sorry for Strone 33, (and me & Snake) over this one because we had him signed (therefore we were right) but he bailed in the cooling off because his manager told him to? as he had serious other offers. But at the end of the day it will be hard to get any evidence other than hearsay.

Again, if true I don't find myself sad about Pearce not coming , yeah it would have been good but at $1mil year? We could get 2 players for that.

Totally screwed by the NRL and Toggy Greenslime.

Can’t we get rid of this prick , somehow??

Joel Thompson? He knocked us back as well didn't he?

 

[High-FlyingEagles1]

Tom wright to 5/8

I think brock lamb has a lot of potential. I'd be happy with that.

Or 33 reserve graders at the rate we are recruiting

Never like him anyway (unless off course we end up with him...then he is amazing....)

Whilst this salary cap issue is hanging over us NO ONE WILL COME!

May as well move forward with what we have and forward end some contracts and try again in 2018.

Who knows the young fellas might surprise us and we might make the 8 after all.

I think brock lamb has a lot of potential. I'd be happy with that.

Why, when we already have better options? Lamb is a half that has won 10% of his games played, as the quarterback of his team. PASS.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We knocked him back to chase Pearce. That's what was reported anyway...

That worked well didn’t it!

 

[Ned]

Brock Lamb? Don't bother. I'd suggest Hastings is already better. Save the money for a decent player.

Don't shoot the messenger, That's just what Massoud was reporting.

 

[Ryan]

Ok, how's this...if we sign Brock ****ing Lamb, we HAVE to bring back the Mullaniac's, and the Jye Mullane Stand, befitting his quality. There may even be a Michael (Lolly Legs) Witt sighting under it throughout the year.

Not aiming that at you @Ned

I'm sorry @Kiwi Eagle , Lamb is crap.

Just save the money , let the 3 young fellas fight it out, one will rise to the occasion.

I’d rather that happen than some hasbeen , only just a first grader on the rebound!

Green had a garbage record outside of Melbourne before joining us and was OK. You can’t put the record of an outgunned team on the shoulders of their half.

Brown's best position could be 5/8, as all the others weren't

Let Baz test all contenders during the off season and unearth a gem from our ranks

****ing hell

That's not true. He was good in the UK, and his last season with the Storm was solid - he was coming in, in form, on a team winning lots and lots of games. That is a very different story to Lamb. It's like saying here is an orange, and here is a bag of chips. They are exactly the same because they are both food.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So in reality, with the NRL’s position we can’t sign anyone?

As I said above, may as well go with what we have, use the extra cash to forward end some contracts , and use the money next year.

Just sick of the bull**** really.

Why bother bidding for anyone if the bottom line is Greenslime won’t endorse the contract!
