Panthers lead the chase for off-contract Manly winger Akuila Uate

[nightster]

stick Suli on his wing spot Jorge one side and Suli the other

 

[BOZO]

We have to be careful with our cap and Uate's manager can find another club to fork out the most lucrative deal they can get . Good luck to him .
Uate was a great player in his hey days with the Knights . His consistent powerful performances made him a regular name in representative teams .
At the end of his great career he is still capable of playing some great footy but he in no longer the reliable player that he once was and is now a rocks and diamonds player whos erotic play is a recipe for disaster in winning games .
Kelly is off contract and as far as I am concerned he wont be a loss that would impact our backline with the options that we have .
We all have our heroes and these are mine .......
Possible 2019 backline .
1. Turbo
2,Jorge
3,Walker
4.Suli
5.Parker /Tom Wright / Anderson

Parker and T Wright can also player centre and Anderson can play fullback .
Plus there are others in our lower grades that I cant think of
We have Plenty of options .

Erotic play.... reckon he was the instigator in the Gladstone dramas ?

4 Kelly

Letting Kelly walk would be stupid after his terrific form this year.

Let’s hope he finishes the year with a bang...as long as it isn’t on a Gladstone trip.

I wish i could turn the clock back, i would have went there for the lot of them . Reminds me of the old porkys days . Jeez it was fun times.

 

[mave]

I'm certain Kelly is not off contract.

 

[winnyason]

I bagged aku out but bloke a good finisher and good for metres out of trouble.
One would think suli the first choice winger next season and we keep kelly.
Not sold on having either brad parker or matthew wright as first choice but really depends on cap position.
Not sure dollars being thrown at kelly at tigers

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Aku has been more good than bad , but I’d rather hang on to some youth than someone being at the end of his career!!

He’ll get a start some where as long as he isn’t too money hungry!

Mate as embarrassing as it is I meant to say erratic not erotic . I had one of those moments . I had sex on the brain.
I hope you can understand

My view is that my mate the 19 year old Suli is a better option and has more potential in the centres than your mate Kelly .
We cant keep them all especially with our cap problems . We will agree to disagree

I believe we are looking at braydon burns from bunnies too. Maybe as cover for kelly if he leaves.
Also got folau in blacktown who we are considering bringing in our top 30

Just confirming @mave . Zero tackle has Kelly on 160k a year and this year his contract is up .

 

[Oracle]

Absolutely ridiculous letting Aku go ...
When Suli wakes up (manager) we will do it tough to keep him

You can bet that’s where Aku’s money is going!!!

Do you know much about this Braydon Burns from the Bunnies . ? Never heard of him ?
I always thought that Folau the former eels player had plenty of potential . At his best he was a big mother hard to contain . I wonder if he has discipline issues that has staled his potential

Akus manager is looking at big dollars for his client and it would be stupid to offer him that kind of money with our cap problems . I think we would be wise to consider our up and coming young players with potential and give them the opportunity they deserve .

We can't anymore according to the new site policy 🙁

Discussions about players or management that have nothing to do with Rugby League (including talking about how good looking the players are) are strongly discouraged

I believe we signed him for 2 years 2018 and 2019, and he was released a year early (2017)by the Titans so as not to impede his development.

 

[mave]

Never mind that post. The article is in the Kelly thread itself.

I would like to think Akus money is going to Superman Suli as he is a better future centre investment .
He is only 19 and already in his second NRL season . At 18 years of age kids play with marbles and tough kids like Suli play in the NRL. Suli is our man !!!
