Josh Aloiai re-signs until 2025

[Mitch]

Great work from the club to retain a player who can clearly be a forward leader for us into the future!

Family and loyalty a true blessing for Josh Aloiai

Great news.

Very happy about this, I believe he's gone from strength to strength this year.

 

[jamesie]

Love his comment - I ask myself ‘what can I do for this jersey’

Help it win another a premiership, I reckon

 

[JakeyB789]

Great news, still only 26 but has emerged as our best front rower and the real leader of the forward pack.

Early days I know but hoping we are offering similar extensions to other players off contract at the end of next year, especially someone like Garrick who we couldn't afford to lose.

“There is a Bible verse I like, Esphesians 3:20, that says ‘Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us’

We need more blokes like this, who will help others aren't greedy and ready to take on a leadership role just like Ben Kennedy. Utmost respect for him, becoming one of our hard men.

 

[JenEagle]

Fantastic work from the club and what a great player. He will be one of the premier props in the nrl in the next two years.

 

[XV-1]

Great signing and is now officially Manly's #1 Prop.

 

[Snake]

At least he gets in and has a dig. That’s the most important attribute in a forward. Get ya hands dirty and make it personal.

 

[AshfieldBazza]

Happy with this resigning as he’s upped his game this year and hopefully will improve each year he’s with the club

 

[Chip and Chase]

Not sure if he has ever played 100% fit ? Always seems to be carrying more strapping than Paleface Adios. Love to see him string together some games niggle free to see what he can do. He missed a chunk of last season with injury and has had a couple of weeks off this year here and there

Anyway happy enough we have extended his contract, props are the cornerstone of any team and you need some good ones to make an impact in the NRL. He leaves an impression in most games which is all you can ask. Just hope he can stay injury free for rest of year and keep building. He's talking the right talk and seems engaged in his craft - needs to deliver on the paddock now and drag some of his younger teammates along with him.

 

[The Bandit]

How good , love his commitment.

 

[ALinda]

Love this:
“By Des rewarding me with this new contract, it doesn’t mean it’s time for me to put my hands up and say, ‘yeah I’ve made it’ or anything like that.

“It comes with a responsibility to play harder, to lead more, to help develop the young kids at Manly, to leave a good legacy, and to help this club become stronger. That’s the responsibility I now have."

Good stuff and well done Josh & Manly

 

[Damien2812]

Good news and the right forward to take us forward in the future. So now it's time for Manly to find another forward who is similar in skill set as Aloiai.

 

[Under the Sticks]

I hope they got his name correct on the contract!

 

[joeboy]

Likeable bloke, great player, but I feel between injury and suspension I’m barely used to the fact he even plays for us. Hope he can string some games and great performances together

 

[StuBoot]

Not sure if he has ever played 100% fit ? Always seems to be carrying more strapping than Paleface Adios.

Mate, if he ends up half as good and plays as long we've got a goodun.

 

[ALinda]

As pleasing as the announcement was, I just wish something-anything was said about his recovery from concussion. He's only been named 18th man this week, so one thinks he mightn't be 100%, but I'll think positively....if his recovery's slow and he's going to miss some weeks, they would've mentioned it.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Great news , I like the big fella

 

[BOZO]

“There is a Bible verse I like, Esphesians 3:20, that says ‘Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us’

He has the faith and is one of our most fierce forwards when fit

Great news and God Bless the Manly Sea eagles
