our June 30 wish list

Drums now beating that DCE will depart Manly before June 30...
Maybe he will , maybe he won't ...
but if he does, will Manly sign someone to finish the year as a brand new Sea Eagle?

If so, who could it be?
Would anyone that might be get able before June 30 be an up grade on Arthur?

Or giving Lehi a run in the 6.

I reckon Frog returning to the halves to just steer and be that leader might be something that gets considered as well.

But I reckon keep it internal.

If the added $500k means club take a punt on a forward like Fifi. And get the Bull to stay which we really need. So be it.

Its time to move on. DCE already has.

I've assumed if anyone it would be a forward.
Problem of course is you don't want to make a rush decision just to fill the spot. If no-one appealing is available, then just promote Patolo or one of the other young players?
 
Sandon Smith being shopped around by the rorters. Could be a handy pick up if they pay some of his wage
 
The only way this would be even considered in my opinion is if Roosters were to give a player like Wong or Whyte in return that are off contract after 26. Unrealistic obviously but if they can’t afford to extend them after paying Reece Robson & DCE it can’t hurt to enquire
Thats right, we have to be compensated, we dont just give him to them
 
100%

Wong or Whyte or get stuffed
For DCE's cash, we would surely get both. No way they're on $1 million+ combined this year.

On another note, if Joey Walsh is selected next week, absolutely kills it, and looks NRL ready, we could send Brooks to Bali with commiserations, and use the extra cash to keep those two beyond this year. Unfortunately, I don't see the Roosters letting those guys go, so if it does occur, we'll get some random young forwards from them. We only need one or two to fire.

Lots of hypotheticals here, but I honestly just want some long-term change. I actually like Brooks, but if Walsh is cheaper and is ready, I'd take him, and get a forward.

I'd also be very interested in Blake Steep
 
I believe the Roosters have offered up Chad Townsend as a player swap. 😂
At least he would have a crack, unlike the current halfback, who is doing his ‘Kieran Foran, early 2015’* impression.

*His form picked up after it was confirmed he was leaving for Parramatta
