An article was posted in the Telegraph 30 minutes ago reporting both Barrett and Gorman are done. Goes on to say Trent’s extension dragged on due to his managemer being overseas, and that both will be announced either tomorrow or Wednesday. It also claimed that Manly are of the philosophy that elder players who are offered larger multi year deals will usually he allowed to go with the clubs blessing, however the club is firm that Green will not be let go until a suitable replacement is signed. So there you have it folks, our intent is very much to sign someone before next season. What will the people who bag recruitment over and over and over again post if we end up signing a quality player before round 1. Nothing most likely, it will be as though the barrage of criticism was just a figment of our imagination.
