New signings to be announced #nextweek

[manlyfan76]

Maybe it was a typo.
Should have read " no signings to be announced next week" and we have got it arse about face.

C’mon MWSE HQ give us a new face in a Manly jersey... preferably a name we all recognise and can identify as being 1st grade quality

Don't forget we have signed the Who brothers................Jack & Lachlan.

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.

If we don't have a big name back row signing for 2018 is poor recruitment. Spending big on a position which wasn't our biggest weakness in 2017 is not progress.

The club has to plan for life without Green. He wants out and only had 1yr left on his contract.
The club has no choice but to spend big on a position that wasn't our biggest weakness....

We had a choice. We where going after Thompson before hand. We chose to drop Thompson and chase the bigger fish. The club seems to think this will be for a greater benefit for the club. Let's see what happens......

I'd be more than happy to post an apology when they pull their fingers out of their arses and get it done..........................but let's wait till it happens!!!

The simple fact is that Pearce is just about the only remaining option .....................and this has only become an option due to the Cronk deal! He was never on our radar or anyone else's radar prior to that.

Effectively this means that our recruitment team initially really had no high profile off season targets................or at least none that they were even remotely successful with!

We may get Pearce by default but in my view that hardly vindicates our recruitment team!

You know it's completely possible to be a die hard supporter of the team and still be allowed to criticize the idiots running the club!!!Ripley's believe it or not!

The Penn boys certainly have done well for themselves for a pair of idiots. So much so that they have enough coin to buy, and run a professional NRL side. I concur that they haven’t done everything perfectly when it comes to the club. But at the end of the day, without those two idiots, you might be left without a team to support.

...........calling them idiots is relative to the football club not to their business acumen.

There in lies my angst with the Penns, I do not really believe football success is their priority.
They want to run the club like a business............and in business terms finishing 6-8 on the ladder is just as good as 2-4.

The clubs under private ownership that have football success are generally those where the owners priority is on field success (e.g. passion projects) rather than trying to make the bottom line. Everything the Penns do seems to be about the bottom line.

Anyway that's my perception and I'm happy to stick with it until there is evidence to the contrary.

Except they wouldn't be very shrewd businessmen if they ever took their eye off the bottom line, would they?
It's fine to rue the fact they are not sickeningly rich enough to continuously throw cash into a bottomless pit.
However I'd say their chief failure to date is more to do with not prioritising Manly's success off the field. Therein lies the only sustainable future for us on the Northern beaches.

We will also have to resign guys like Api and Siro, but the thought of signing Josh Papalii would be great

Tell us in 250 words or less why you love the Penns.
Try to include how much you love grown men playing rugby league all holding hands before the game in your answer.

Tell us in more than 250 words why are you a greater contributor to the Manly Sea eagles then the Penns

How you find love for the Penns in my post is a modern mystery, perhaps you were distracted by your homophobia.

Kevin Naiqama??????

Seriously feathered friend , I agree with you with Naiqama but .....
Kelly is not an established NRL player .
Don't count your Sea eagles before they're hatched
