NRL 2016: Manly Sea Eagles recruits struggling to provide bang for buck after club rebuild — Pressur

[pjayz]

I don't think he's on $600,000 with us, he was on around $500,000 with the Titans, and they only offered him a $300,000 new contract, I would say he's on about $350,000 -400,000 with us.

It was reported he is on $550k per year.

Pretty expensive plodder just to keep dce here

I know players like him don't grow on trees, but why can't we seem to snap up a young up and comer like Tapine (Raiders from Newcastle).

Lets be realistic with regards to Walker also.

He almost died in the off season if you believe what you read.

 

[Woodsie]

I don't mind that he has no aurora to be honest, just wish he had some aura.

Aura BOREalis ?

 

[Peter C]

It was reported he is on $550k per year.

If that's correct, then it was a dumb signing.

 

[mozgrame]

Aura BOREalis ?

Aura or balls regardless.

Just kidding. He's great!

Barrett clearly is determined to fail. There's an old a saying "when you are in a hole stop digging." He just keeps digging. I expected Bozo to provide guidance looks like he's getting none. His incredibility slow response to the failed Walker experiment suggests that his ego is clouding his better judgement. Common Bozo get in his ear he needs a lot of help!

Problem is its Bozo calling the shots on team selections

And you know this because ..

bozo recruitment and Origin selection might be good on paper , but have proven very little on the field.

2016 is turning out to be the season that never was.

So 2017 we may need.
A new major sponsor.
A new coach.
A new five eight/ half.
A new captain.
A new goal kicker.
A new centre.
A new grand stand.

Its hard to move forward when your having to redo work twice over.

I guess donkeys spent big in 2014 and failed and then had to off load Barber, hunt and hannat and have a second rebuild in 2015 with an even bigger injection of cash players and a coach to find success.

Pretty sure he is on 500k per season

Not the 70th anniversary we were expecting unfortunately

Around this time 20 years ago Manly were leading the competition and would go on to win the premiership on the back of the best defence that the competition had ever seen until then.

Yes indeedee Hv8. Difference being though that team was a mix of quality imports and juniors that had the culture in em. We hadn't completely thrown the Manly way out like we have this time.
