Both players included in the swap are off contract end of year. Arthur is fit. Bryan is not. We are short on forwards this year. If we wanted bryan we still could of signed him for 26 onwards. (Future). Whilst maybe just maybe releasing arthur for literally anyone that could assist with our injury toll. And i mean anyone. Cause anyone is better than someone who can't play all year.
Yep its pretty puzzling. Apparently we are pushing to get him before 30/6 when he is out for the year. 🤷♂️

Maybe they need him for Penn to claim a tax write off?

Why such a big rush to make arthur move on then? There could of potential avenues. If not i don't see why its necessary to give arthur away for ****s and giggles. We are essentially just helping Newcastle out
Deal of the century !!!

Maybe they think our superior rehab with such a great record will get him on the park earlier.. fully fit "cough cough"
On the surface the deal is bloody ridiculous
This signing is quite exciting because it shows Manly’s recruitment team is incredibly imaginative.
They can imagine an upside that none of us can see. 😵💫😆😱

There is no A.I. Just better computers
We will have to use development players.
Might end up being a superstar.
Might end up being a super dud.
Only time will tell, but one thing is certain , we need forwards so who knows maybe it’s a smart move for 26 & beyond

And the circus just keeps giving
I can see some logic on this.
Now that Walsh is performing at NSW Cup standard, Arthur is surplus to requirements. Bryan would be a signing for the future but if we get him now the club can get him settled in ahead of the preseason, and perhaps front load some of his expenses in the salary cap. There's a lot more to being a football player than just the matches.

Is it not 2 different things
Newcastle take jake so we get a 30 spot. Thats the deal
They shaft us and say only if you take this dude early
We desperate
Costs us coin but we gain a spot for this season
New guy in squad next year, outside 30 for this year but paid
It wasnt a swap, just newcastle were shrewd enough to get something from us as we were trying to offload jake
Possibly

According to the article it was Hetherington not Bryan blocked,maybe Bryan was the consolidation prize?
