The Cowboys were interested, that's about it really. ESL is where he should head to, will probably get offers a touch over the 500k mark I'd say. Haven't heard of us offering Marty any sort of deal tbh.

Sipley goes ok, gives us a solid 15min 1st half then does another stint in the 2nd half. Boyles injured again, hasn't played much at all, will surely be cut at years end.
The way the Cowboys have stepped up this year they probably no longer have any interest.

Oh well, bad luck for him I guess... I doubt he would get much more than 200k regardless of where he goes. Maybe England?

Shipley should sape up or sip out then?

Yep, how lucky are they? Dodged a bullet and unearthed a cracker for a fraction of the price, pity we didn’t do a deal and swap Marty for Cotter when they were interested.
Be one of the smallest props in the game, with one of the best engines and all heart, similar type to Liam Martin. There both the type of player we are desperately missing.

400k seems the right number for him.
Would we even want him or should we just move on? Hard to say really given sometimes he plays like a 200k player and other weeks like a 600k player.
Either way we need to improve our current prop rotation in a big way.

Flogging a dead horse seems like an apt description when describing Marty’s career trajectory.
I think if Manly were going to re-sign him, they would have already done so.
Perhaps he can reinvent himself at another club, or get another five years or so flexing his muscles in the English Super League.

Hard to argue with that on his overall display of work this year. Maybe he's carrying that back injury. Who knows? Can't get anything from the club who says turbo is currently fine.

I think a thankyou, a handshake and ‘Don’t come back now, ya hear!’ would be appropriate.
Seriously, why worry about someone who is apparently not part of the plan beyond 2022?
Yeah, Marty's 22 highlights reel doesn't make for good viewing, interest you would think has tailed off now.
Watching today's player interview with Marty, was enlightening. He described having Covid as it "knocked me left, right and centre and inside out" and that "it took everything out of me". He also said he almost had to go to hospital so he must've got it bad. Having had Covid myself, it sure took everything out of me and it took a good 3 weeks to feel 'normal' again.
Therefore I can really relate to what Marty's been through and am prepared to cut him some slack for his recent poor games. He was out in rounds 6 and 7, so I'd say he's probably only now returning to normal fitness. Let's see how he goes in the next couple of weeks...

Yeah mine was no more than a cold. But my son who is into lifting big weights like Marty got knocked around big time.
Wasn’t it a back injury in SOO for T-Rex that sent his form south?
Has he had COVID for 3 years

Now the rest of the team has it.
Makes me a little worried about how our medical staff treat the covid guys.
There is plenty of data about the vast differences in severity from patient to patient but not so much about pushing athletes through when they are still recovering, but there is enough to suggest great caution is needed.
I hope Marty hasn't been pressured to train and play when he wasn't fully right. It would be nice to have total confidence in our medical staff but reality dictates against that. He doesn't even look back to his usual bursting-with-health self even now
