If we got Pearce AND Thompson, I think you are very close , top 4 anyway.

But assuming we have who we are going to have, and Green to the Warriors , we might be struggling to get into the 8, although possibly similar to this year ie somewhere 6-8.

To be fair though Mark, Gosiewski IS a pretty big name...

Zero chance of Manly releasing Green without getting a replacement that they feel is worth breaking up last seasons halves pairing. Zero chance. It’s been reported heavily that Green is not going anywhere unless Barrett and co get who they want. Bozo is gone and Barrett’s future as an elite coach will. be made or destroyed over the next couple of seasons. Why the hell, in that situation, would he release his starting 5/8 to NZ, sit back and watch Moylan, Pearce, Maloney and Cronk strengthen the opposition. And do nothing?

 

[Kevinward777]

Not sure why we would release green without an established first grade replacement.

As if we will.

 

[Jigzkiller]

Sorry but the players from Souths and the Raiders are not Marquee

Yep with respect not even an announcement was needed for these two.

 

[Kevinward777]

Not sure why we would release green without an established first grade replacement.

No idea where that ridiculous idea has come from. As far as I can see, every report regarding Green to NZ stipulates that it is dependent upon Manly getting Pearce or someone similar.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

I can't see us making a marquee signing announcement before making the CEO signing announcement.

And speaking of the new CEO, is there anything official yet on who it is, and if so, has any of the halves whose names are being bandied about played a part in getting said new CEO a premiership?

 

[stoodamire]

Perfect opportunity for Hastings to step up.

 

[Kevinward777]

Perfect opportunity for Hastings to step up.

That is the only other viable alternative to possibly letting Green go. Hastings locked in at six. We sign Thompson and we sign a quality back. And maybe a prop as well. Croker and Cullen are then backup. But one thing is absolutely guaranteed. If Green goes there’s some quality coming in.

 

[globaleagle]

And EXACTLY the reason I’ve been banging on about it ever since.
Seriously why say anything , especially when you are such an insider.

It's the off season and he probably wanted to antagonise the sausage roll eating nuffies who make fun of him!

If so.... he's laughing every day!



P.S. I hear Green to Warriors is almost done...they just have to pay the 500k transfer fee!





lol

 

[master blaster]

Nope, heading out Saturday week, not this week but #nextweek.

Hope they have free wifi in Vietnam!

Have a great time Mark and stay safe. We need you back to keep some sanity on here,lol

 

[KNUCKLES]

i dont know why we just dont sign carney for 100k. talk about value for money. as good as any half on his day

 

[brad]

We have a player called Jackson Hastings if nothing else . He can play and partner Dce at 6 or 7 for that matter . If this happened and we get Thompson id be very happy and confident going into 18 and also wouldn't break our bank .

Maybe 5 or 6 years ago.

Jacksons attitude worries me, he didnt fight back when in reserves and hasnt played well since 2015, plus his running game is non existent.

 

[Holmsey]

A close friend tells me Green deal is basically done and something will have to happen badly behind the scenes for it to fall through. So that leaves us with no established halves. I cant see Pearce leaving Roosters and Moylan will either go with Fifita to sharks or stay in panther land. Hastings is also off to Storm so we are also running out of established backups.

He's a pretty fair player really and if he has the right attitude in the pre season he can make it . All up to him really and i think if he gets a starting spot he could make it his own . Remember when he filled in when Pearce was suspended he killed it . He did quite well for us coming off the bench, a couple of back up tries and added some spark .Attitude Attitude Attitude and im not talking about so called Arsehole Attitude, im talking about the bust your backside stuff and he will make it back whether its with us or whoever. You just dont lose talent.

 

[Deleted member 26876]

I do think Hastings to storm is bull****. Although if Green really is gone then let's throw everything at Pearce (or maloney I guess, but not preferable). Risky move as we are no certainty for a good signing, although i'm sure they have it sorted, or are on their way towards solving it behind closed doors. Hoping for Pearce, long term option with proven talent and plenty of leadership. Manly are only releasing Green if we sign Pearce, or anyone of the like

 

[Woodsie]

I heard Foran wants to move to Manly to be closer to his family .....

Is Hastings going to the Storm or was he just seen in Melbourne.?
