What’s the relevance here?

We signed him

 

[Phobia]

What’s the relevance here?

We’ve signed him from the Roosters. I think he’s 18?

I wonder where this leaves Onitoni Large. I think Large’s future may end up being elsewhere in the backline, probably the centres.

I guess instead of having one 47-year-old halfback we've decided to stock up on 18-year-old halves. Which is fine, but how long are their necks?

[Also assuming he's Luke's brother?]

He’s actually Blake Metcalfe’s younger brother — no relation to Luke Metcalf from the Warriors. Blake’s been in our system the last few years playing Flegg, mostly at fullback but has filled in the halves a bit too.

This bloke Lachlan turns 18 next year — he played Harold Matts (U17s) for the Roosters this season. We’ve now got a solid little group of young halves around that SG Ball age: Tyler Melrose, Beau Alexander, and Onitoni Large. I believe all those guys are 18 or turning 18, and we’ve also obviously got Joey Walsh who turned 19 this year.

Wouldn’t be surprised if one or two of these younger halves isn’t there next year with the signing of this Metcalfe — that’s quite an abundance of halves all around the same age.

 

[Orange Peeler]

Manly has signed some talented young Players. Some that are coming down from the bush will certainly add some depth aswell. There seems to be a plan they are putting together with their depth chart.

For all the talk of us signing aging plodders we have gone about picking up a few decent youngsters the last few years in Walsh, Large Bros, Zaidas, Hart, Willet now this kid.

 

[MissKate]

That’s great signing some youngsters as long as they are given an opportunity, hopefully we don’t hang on to older players past their prime and lose all the youngsters we have invested in

Nope….his brother is Blake Metcalfe. Already at Manly.

Large is going to Rugby .

Blake played a couple of Cup games at fullback too this year I think.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

So with Lachlan Croker potentially finished as a player, are we recruiting Lachlan Metcalfe to keep our Lachlan quota intact?

Asking for a friend.

 

[Disco]

Large is going to Rugby .

Is this something you know as fact or an assumption?

 

[manly al]

Large is going to Rugby .

Thought Large has a contract for 2 more seasons yet ,

Yep initially signed a 3 year deal.

Doesn't mean he couldn't be released for Rugby but I'd be surprised
