Joel Thompson re-signs with Manly, Now St Helens

[Mark from Brisbane]

Joel will definitely leave a bit of a hole in our leadership, on and off-field.

Very much so , a real leader and a great example to the young guys.

Dont you love (not) the headlines about Thompson going to Saints. Click bait.

 

[Disco]

Time for JetSki to step up. He has the makings of a great edge backrower. Can run a great line and defends aggressively. If he gets the dumb **** out of his game and works on a combination with walker and Parker that edge should be strong.

All good points but.....have you seen his hair

Wishful thinking

getting a bit injury prone. But a super player. Bozo was very keen to recruit him a couple of years ago.

All 4 of those players would come at a big cost that the club can’t afford.Most of the best backrowers Manly have had have been developed within

I would say its more about retaining and upgrading what we already have. Waddell and Gosiewski will fight out for the spot with Olokoatu and Schuster coming through will need more money to stay longer term. Garrick probably needs an upgrade, we've just upgraded Suli so I dont think there would be much to spend. Also i dont think we would be chasing a forward, maybe a bit of coin to throw at Saab???

What about burbo? Saab would be a great pick up

Yeah so many to retain. I thought Suli would be the one to go, maybe Manly knew Thommo was leaving and that's how we could keep suli. Waddell off contract too so should be retained.

From what I can remember I think Thomo took massive unders his last contract. I really don’t think what is free’d up from him leaving will be much.
Anyone know what he signed for with us?

The Bulldogs second rower that was sacked, Corey Harawira-Naera, went alright and wouldn’t cost a fortune. Some people thought he was hard done by and paid the price of being associated with Okunbor, but depending on his level of contrition and commitment to personal growth, he could be worth a shot at. He’d be relatively cheap, I reckon.
