Manly sign Sao

[Brookvale]

It was likiliki. what a beast!

 

[Jono]

"We've identified some top young talent in Michael Chee Kam, Clinton Gutherson, Jake Trbojevic and now Ligi, so our future certainly looks bright."

Some fine talent there that's for sure, my only concern is our back row is covered for a few years yet.
And If Stewart re-signs for 3 years, how much patience does Gutherson have?

Jake and Ligi being front rowers will get there chance with a bench spot at some period.

A healthy position to be in none the less.

At 17 years old, I don't think Gutherson would have any issues with being a winger for 3 years knowing that he is being trained for the FB role when Brett leaves/retires. Plus he's a local boy, and bleeds Maroon and White. Gutherson isn't leaving.

Ligi Sao

Not sure if anyone cares but thought I'd mention that former Toyota Cup commentator Matt Russell assures me that Ligi Sao's name is pronounced Lingi Sow (as in a pig sow).

I know it won't stop us from having fun about Soggy Sao and the like but thought I'd mention it anyway for future reference.

GO MANLY!

Now are you trying to boar me with that post.

RE: Ligi Sao

They also said on commentary he actually hasn't signed yet.

Ligi Sao

Watching the game and my god the Warriors have some good kids coming through

100m+ today from Sao,
It's going to be good in a few years time to have props that will do 100m+,
think about it Cunningham, Stromquest, Jake T and Sao is going to be prop rotation that is scary

RE: Ligi Sao

His signing might make Matai go back to pig tails

RE: Ligi Sao

Just watched the Warriors Toyota cup side thrash the Cowboys. Ligi Sao is an awesome player he killed it great footwork for a big lad and a good offload.

RE: Ligi Sao

Haven't seen him play but the talk sounds good and I love the name whichever way it's pronounced.

 

[Klazerin]

RE: Ligi Sao

It was stated in commentary that he has NOT signed so what is the story have we gone off to early to mask all our departures?

RE: Ligi Sao

New Thread worthy!

Is it ok to post in existing threads?

16 runs for 159m. 6 Tackle Breaks. 22 Tackles. Not sure how many minutes he played though.

Not bad at all...

RE: Ligi Sao

He might not have signed a contract but has agreed to terms via a letter of intent?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Well, technically he hasn't yet agreed to terms via a letter of intent, but he has told his manager to send an email expressing his willingness to send a letter of intent... at Manly we know there are many steps before a pen is required 😉

Taylor - 97 kg hooker.

Things are grim when teams have two 97kg hookers and they are killing it.

Both actually remind me of 'King' Keiron Cunningham who played around 500 games for St Helens.
We could use someone like them eventually (actually wants Taylor and Pavlai playing for us

 

[Jatz Crackers]

LOL @ letters of intent. I must remember to execute one of those on a verbal agreement form some time soon.

 

[Ian Martin tragic]

So the consensus is Sao could be a bit brittle but should turn out to be a cracker ;-)

 

[Darren]

I hear Jatz isn't happy with the signing! Too much competition.

I've just sent you a letter of intent letting you know I've been extra ordinarily stressed and depressed lately.

Please fix this.
