All we are saying, is Pearce off !

Moylan will be on more than 500k at the sharks. 500k was BBQ's price. So there is no direct $ swap as far as I can tell.
However, if Moylan brings his existing TPAs to the sharks, then maybe buzztool has a leg to stand on.

If we can’t land Pearce ahead of the Sharks I’d be disappointed. Although he would be halfback at Cronulla, not that it would be a sticking point (I would assume he would come in and Townsend out).
 
Rothfield tweeted he thinks Pearce will be the next signing for the Sharks whilst Massoud mentioned on Seven news tonight that they have 800k left under the cap and will target him next.

I guess this could make sense given both of their salaries would cancel each other out, so if they had spare cash before it’s still be there.
So he thinks they are getting both Moylan and Pearce?
 
I saw a tongue in cheek comment on Twitter where he says "pearce next". Where does he confirm your comments above? Buzz is usually close to the money.

That was what I based it off and then it was mentioned again on Seven news. Tough to determine if he was fair dinkum with his tweet given the platform, but Seven certainly mentioned the 800k they have free to sign him.
 
Does Pearce live in Mosman? Why would he want to drive south so far every day? Easy to get to narrabeen, against the traffic.

Can somebody explain to me how the Sharks have $800k more than is? We won’t have Matai & Snake anymore & Cap goes up & we’ve only added a couple of reserve graders & lost a lot more.

Dugan in for Bird. Probably on more coin as Bird wasn’t established when they signed him.
Moylan is on more than what Maloney was getting too!
They’ve re-signed Gallen & Lewis & a few others & lost Heighington who I’d assume was cheapish.
My maths wasn’t that bad at school but we must have more money spare than almost anyone or I deadset give up!
 
Maloney was on sh1t money compared to Moylan, so it does affect their cap, by about $300k a year, I believe.
 
Signings were always going to happen, just not quickly enough to stop the children stomping their feet and throwing their toys out of the cot.

Why would you be surprised? it looks like we are no longer a destination club we have always been sadly. If I was a betting man if he leaves it will be to the sharks. Don't forget he has played a lot of rep footy with a lot of the sharks players and that could sway him. I'm thinking we will be keeping Green and going with what we have.

Manly Sea Eagles turn focus to Mitchell Pearce after missing out on Matt Moylan

Adrian Proszenko

Manly will turn their attention to disgruntled Rooster Mitchell Pearce after missing out on the signature of Matt Moylan.

Penrith playmaker Moylan has agreed to terms with Cronulla in a swap for their NSW and Australian pivot James Maloney in a deal that is expected to be formally announced next week. Moylan's deal is expected to be for four years and Maloney's for three. It is understood the Panthers were liaising with the NRL in relation to a third-party deal in the belief it would remain at the foot of the mountains if Moylan didn't fulfil his contractual obligations.

The deal could have wide-ranging repercussions for other clubs. The Sea Eagles were chasing Moylan's services and hoped his relationship with Trent Barrett might help tempt him to Brookvale. But after missing out on Moylan's signature, they will ramp-up their pursuit of Pearce if he is granted a release from the Roosters.

Pearce is considering his options during an overseas holiday, upset that he will have to hand over his No.7 jersey to Storm signing Cooper Cronk. While the Roosters have indicated they intend to squeeze Pearce, Luke Keary, Jake Friend and Cronk into their side, they will have to consider a release if the NSW halfback wants a fresh start.

Sea Eagles pivot Blake Green is contracted for 2018, but the Warriors are prepared to offer him a longer-term deal if he comes onto the open market. That would happen if Pearce switches to Manly in a move that would make him the halves partner of captain Daly Cherry-Evans.

Newcastle coach Nathan Brown has publicly expressed interest in signing Pearce should he come onto the open market. The Knights have cash to spend and have recently signed three former Roosters – Aidan Guerra, Connor Watson and Shaun Kenny-Dowall.

Maloney was poised to represent the Kangaroos in the clash with France at Canberra Stadium on Friday night, but was forced to withdraw for personal reasons not linked to his contract saga.

Moylan's move to the Shire will reunite him with former Panthers James Segeyaro and Wade Graham, while Maloney will bring much experience to a new halves pairing with promising youngster Nathan Cleary

Aha now it finally becomes clear, this has all been a ruse designed to snare the services of premiership winning halfback... Chad Townsend! Yikes!
