Jorge and Aussie Gossy

[SeaEagle21]

If Jorge wasn't considered good enough to slot into wing when Garrick moved to FB and Parker of all players to wing then he will never get picked for Manly FG again. He has been a great servant and if a Starting role in 1st grade was available then he should be given that opportunity.

It is helping out a direct rival but i believe that even with Jorge we can beat the Roosters head on so i am not concerned. I love Jorge and would like to see him in FG again so. If it's a loan arrangement then in the event of injury we could recall him and with him getting some FG game time/conditioning which would benefit him and us should we need him due to injury.

I feel Gorge and Funa have no future at Manly. Sad re Gorge but that's football. He has been wonderful for us. We could do with their funds to pay players that we have, particularly Juniors. And maybe one key purchase.
Maybe goodbye to Sironen also, but let's see if he has changed his game when he plays against Cronulla. Sirro run straight like you used to, and into gaps.

Hard to find any info from the NRL so does anyone know if the Roosters have room to sign him?Obviously they’ll get some dispensation

The Roosters have room to sign anyone anytime and with V'landys automatic consent

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Eeeeazy....When we play the rorters we'll just kick bombs to Tafua.

Exactly.

 

[Snoz1976]

I don’t like it. Wouldn’t help our cap much at all unless they take him for rest of his contract. Also it is helping a team that is competing for a top 8 spot along with us.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Sorry I hate this transfer ****!

Should NOT be allowed.

**** em I say.

Few players own their spot in a Manly team . Each spot is leased and earned each game

Footy clubs that stay on top keep evolving their playing roster of excellence

There is no such thing as sentiment in professional sport

Our Godfather and founder of our success always upgraded our premiership winning teams and evolved them with superior players

 

[Snake]

Just promote dev players into the available spots.. it may not be much in terms of savings but it's still something. It's not like either player are likely to be used anyway

If we promote development players for the sake of saving 50k and we end up with injuries, we'll rue the decision.

If Taufua or Funa go to the Chooks, it'll be the club supporting their careers, not thinking about cap space.

I think loan system should be around every year - its time rugby league got more professional. Jorge and Co. have barely played, and our squad is going well for now. Assuming they don't get injured playing, which they could just as easily for us, its a win-win. Our players get miles in the their legs, the contract would stipulate they don't play against us, bit of cap relief (minor) and better for their employability.... might even come back with a few roosters plays to tell us about come finals.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Its funny not so long ago we had Bennett saying it was the club's own fault for no managing their own rosters properly and PV jumped on that bandwagon. But because struggle street arrived at the Roosters then its all different. Frankly I am extremely unimpressed with the NRL.

 

[Shoe1]

Funa has potential growth, just not at 6.

 

[Deleted member 26876]

Hmm I like the idea of freeing up a little cap space and like the thought of letting Jorge put himself in the shop window.

But dont like the idea of helping a direct rival in the Roosters and.....as much as I hate saying this our depth in the backrow aint great and we may just need Gosie (ugh yuck)

Even Suli could be a better back rower than Jetski imo, as would the more obvious options in Keppie, Burbo, Aloiai, Parker. Many options.

This is our chance to release Jetski god dammit!

 

[tookey]

The roosters can go **** themselves

We should give them nothing after they stole the 2013 grand final from us with the help of Shane

Who cares if they cannot field a team Not me

No other team or the NRL give a stuff when manly has a heap of injured players

Fox says this:

"The Roosters will have to act quickly though with the transfers cut-off being on Sunday. The catch to the player loan system though is that loaned players cannot play for their temporary club in the finals."

When you have to go and sign another player to accumulate the mandatory 30 man squad and the one you're letting go is not on decent coin, you don't free up cap space, you just shift sideways with a new player that is either on the same amount or less...if they're on less, they probably aren't a better player than the one you're letting go of, so it's a loss, not a gain.

The only way this will materialise is if the club feel like getting Taufua a game. It'll be a welfare package for Taufua and the Roosters, if anything; not a business decision.

It's a loan system. Keep up!

 

[Budgie]

I think they're going down the wrong track with this loan system. Rugby League is a tribal game and this will strike directly at the heart of it. OK if it's just during these bubble times, but not permanently.

Of course they do, think they have around $2mil left.... for this month

 

[Snake]

Not necessarily. The terms of their release have not been discussed beyond speculation.

 

[Supreme Leader]

It's a loan system. Keep up!

Didn't one of the other clubs swap a player earlier in year but they couldn't play against their original club?

 

[God]

Give them no one till we are 4 points clear of them on the table! (which will be after the transfer windows closes)
