Darcy Lussick

[WESTIE]

With the deal the eels made with hoppa and family Jamil , John jnr etc , and considering that teams under NRL, NYC and State Cup don't have a salary cap (from what I understand), ...could the slime try the same thing with Darcy , seeing as they have signed the younger Lussick ??

It would be a fair bet that the Eels are chasing him as hard if not harder than anyone else considering they've signed his younger brother Joey. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out. Look at it this way..... his Dad played for Manly and he grew up playing junior footy for Beacon Hill and so like Buhrer he's a genuine Manly fan who's living the dream.... playing 1st grade for the Sea Eagles. I don't think he'll give that up easily but like anyone, if someone offers you crazy money you'd have to consider it.

Having said that though, Steve Menzies was offered a small fortune to play for the Eels but turned them down because he was happy playing for Manly. He wasn't worried about who was coaching or how the club was being run, he was a Manly junior and was happy with his lot in life. A terrific lifestyle living on the Northern beaches and playing for the Sea Eagles. Darcy can follow a similar path an I for one sincerely hope he does.

He only has himself to blame for missing the grand final. Is he that much of a sook?

That's exactly the type of player I want at Manly. One who is dirty when he misses a place in the team.

I agree Bones,thats what we want here

 

[ERNIE FOR NO7]

Every club will have Darcy pencilled in on their wish list.His form will be watched with interests. If he goes gang busters in the first 5 or 6 games, he will be getting handsome offers. I'm sure Manly are nervous about how much his value could increase to.

 

[The Eagle]

I want him to be kept alot, he has skills, aggression and a love for the club that would be nearly unrivalled, future beaver type (loyalty)
