Josh Aloiai

[Sheikheagle]

I feel for for the guy, his first 2 seasons with us were rock solid performances. Hope everything works out for Josh.

As do i. I think when he has been on the paddock this season he has ripped in. 😞

It'd be great to get this done by June 30, so we can use the funds for a mid-year recruit.

I would rather right this year off and pay off the Schuster contract we still have hanging over us.

yeah .. but I would happily wait til next year if it means getting the right bloke ...

 

[Brookie1973]

Who ???. So were without our 2 starting props now. Sad news for JA, unfortunately this sport takes a massive toll on the body. Hopefully we can find another hard running mid.

Sorry Mick, just being bitter and sarcastic again.

 

[Phobia]

There is absolutely no one on the market right now. We are screwed in this regard. Unless someone has a spat with their club, the dominos won't fall, unlike the halves market.

The old plodders right now look better than no one at all...

Also, big thanks to our "junior development" for developing a grand total of zero props in recent years.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

This is unfortunate news. Sympathies for Aloiai. His shoulder problems are clearly recurrent so I am not tremendously surprised, but bad luck and bad news for him.

 

[Disco]

Terrible if true. These guys get well paid but absolutely destroy their bodies.

Hope he can pull through but also got to look after your long term health.

For us, if true, further allows us to retool our pack.

 

[XV-1]

Sad news, but luckily we are well stocked with up and coming front rowers eager for a shot at first grade.

So true, Seibold and Mestrov have been planning for the future with our junior pathways for forwards.
NOT!!!!!

Jacob Sykes in the 2nds looks a likely type to me. Big and mobile enough. Deserves a chance, but this Manly administration prefers aging cast offs.

Josh Turns 30 this year
30 is the magic number where most players are on the way out in this brutal game
The hard training and the hard hits take their toll
Josh tried hard but never lived up to his enforcer potential
There is a good life after footy and we wish him and his family a happy and healthy future

 

[Brookie1973]

Do the roosters have a prop we could swap DCE for by 30 June?

Mid year player swaps never happen with players who are "on the market". I'm sure some managers will be offering their fringe first grade props to us in the next couple of weeks.

 

[Budgie]

Manly has to get someone in by June 30. Non negotiable

Just on the Schuster payments, is next season the last one ?

The Dogs might be a little desperate to fit in Galvin,maybe Hopoi or Todd or Underhill might be an option....

If the Galvin/Dogs deal didn't break a few NRL rules........smh is it any wonder there are secrecy clauses?? And if I was a betting man my fingers would be pointing directly at Gus and Isaac Moses if truth be told.

 

[nightster]

According to Zero Tackle we have these players off contract at the end of the year ( I believe some have or are being renewed)
Ethan Bullamor
Jaz Tevaga
Sio Sia Taukeiaho
Tommy Talau
Clayton Faulalo
Toff Sipley
Ray Vaega
Gordon C K T
Jake Arthur
Aaron Schoupp
Dean Matterson,
and now maybe The Preacher getting put out to pasture

I would like to think 3 of the first 6 get at least another year, and the other 3 2 or 3 more years

30? I get what Ur saying. Just differ on that retired number by a few. Most forwards are skinny little runts and no chance of holding down a starting spot until they hit 27-28. Always exceptions to the rule.

I think it's the first one 😂
