Could it be true?

Ethier, he is a tight arse or is interested in a move to Manly to have breakfast 2 weeks in a row with club officials.

Sounds like something Des would do..
Maybe Des appreciates the Jets thriftiness

I’m not in favour of this player coming to Manly.

There would be other centres I think we could benefit from more.

Aint it funny how our name is being linked to such a player.

No one wanted to talk to us last year.

Does any other club want to talk to Roberts??

I agree. Don't care if we don't sign either of them, but still nice to hear rumours that players of the calibre of Gutho and Roberts are being considered.

Garrick as well. I'm salivating at Walker and Garrick.

01. Tom Trbojevic
02.
03. James Roberts
04. Dylan Walker
05. Reuben Garrick
06. Lachlan Croker
07. Daly Cherry-Evans

And tbh, if go with Brendan Elliott on the wing over Taufua, Suli or Parker.

Edit: Also think it would be a trade move as well, with a player going the other way.

I love fill in the blank games......2. A. Miski

 

[HoldenV8]

Even though he's not a winger, I'd be more inclined to play Roberts on the wing and keep Parker in the centres.

However, being seen having breakfast with someone doesn't mean they are signed, sealed and delivered.

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

No thankyou

 

[Ranga]

The key for me is whether Des was at the supposed meeting. If not, I reckon it’s a decoy and he was instead meeting Gutho in private. I mean, why have this type of meeting in public when the Nrl has descended on Brisbane for the weekend?

 

[SeaEagle21]

I guess you have to see what his terms would be as he is a top shelf player and has speed to open a game wide open. If it is true i will trust in Des and his team to get him to his best, but his baggage will always be in the back of my mind.

Who would they want?

All depends on his pricetag. He is overrated for what he has delivered under Seibold, although has shown he can be one of the best backs in the game when focused. I like the look of the backline with someone of his calibre in, although depends on many questions...

If a coach like Des puts faith in him I feel he would work to new standards to try repay him. Have to see what comes of it, pros and potential for some dangerous cons is how I sum it up. I’d think he’d be suited to wing, used to be a fullback and Garrick is a centre

1. Tom Trbojevic
2. Jorge Taufua
3. Dylan Walker
4. Reuben Garrick
5. James Roberts
6. Lachlan Croker
7. Daly Cherry-Evans

 

[MadMarcus]

If we sign the jet before June 30 then with him and walks we'd be in possession of some serious speed...

More speed than Oxford St...

 

[Harvies elbow]

More speed than Oxford St...

Glad someone saw it...

 

[Disco]

Hope it’s not true, he doesn’t strike me as a Dessie type signing. He is injury prone, has attitude problems, has disciplinary problems, and frankly just isn’t that good, if we really want a player like this, just resign walker, who is a better player with a higher ceiling of ability

Was about to post my thoughts on this but Joeboy has done it for me

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Mate just rung me and reckons he saw Manly Officials having breakfast with an out of favour Bronco centre this morning.

The main clue that this rumour is suss...since when does Manly have 'officials'?

Cmon mate roberts is a nsw center parker is.... scorpio yes but hes no jet

Hmmm not speed but another white powder

Garrick at center over roberts? What the heck. Garrick is a good winger he and walker will make a nice combo
