Rabbitohs Extend Contracts of David Tyrrell and Thomas BurgessRabbitohs

[anthonyb1965]

So if it's not his job to persuade talent to sign at our club, please point me in the general direction of who is......... So far this guy has let both an Aus and nz representative halves pairing go and after today's news he's also missed burgess, at the end of the day we at some point need players walking through the door to replace what were lost...... These days your judged on results, to this day his results at our club have been what exactly ....... And I don't count ballin, he's made his intentions clear all along , loves the place and wants to go out a one club legend.

This,
His reputation as "Mr Lip Service" is becoming reality!

It's his fault because we're currently last and the Penns/illuminati and possibly financially backed by the Rothschilds are conspiring to bring the club down/move them to Perth to create a new world order.

Here is a recent photo of Mr Penn

What is Kelly meant to do?

Sign some decent f***ing players with the $2m cap space we have free. He would appear to be incapable of it given his track record so far.

 

[Loobs]

Do we want players at any cost?

Joe Kelly didn't lose Foran - he'd decided before Penn bought out Quantum. DCE - well they tabled a fair offer and the NRL offered more. What's the saying about casinos? The house always wins? So how are you supposed to outbid the NRL?

Is the 2m cap space you mention accurate, isn't foran on 650k and dce on 500k..... Would be interesting to know just what the figure is.......

 

[Frogz]

Who said he was on our radar???? Only the media wasn't it.

 

[chris_niko]

Please God.....don't let us sign JamesTamou.

What's wrong with tamou. We know how good he Is on his day. Guy may just need a change of scenery.

Plenty of talk about Maloney and elgey but I reckon manly would be lucky to sign chris bailey at this point lol

 

[Frogz]

Fark me the Raiders just signed a guy from England...Did Kelly miss him also.

In his Q&A Kelly said both were offered 950k for next season.

I think if I was a high profile player looking for a new opportunity and at the same time being wooed by a club and then read all the toxic comments by their supporters about all the players I would probably give it a miss too. Guys this is not helping the cause.

 

[HappilyManly]

Ridiculous, why would a Player care about a forum.😎

Compared to the Kennel and 1EyedEel, Silvertails posters are docile and genteel

 

[Chip and Chase]

Burn him! He failed to sign a player we might not have even been interested in

I'm pretty sure we showed interest in him.

Jason Ferris / Jye Mullane to make a return to Brooky (IF Kelly can convince them)

Yeah if this was the case Foran would be trying to get out of his Eels deal.

LOL, they are certainly worried about his ability atm.

 

[HappilyManly]

Didn't 2v used to read out Supporter Letters to the Players?
They all thought it was hilarious 😛

 

[qldeagle]

Players don't give a stuff about the fans these day's all they care about is getting paid and in some cases their team mates. No player would choose not to go to club because of support or criticism on a public forum. If they did they may as well give professional sport a miss and get a job were no scrutiny is on their performance.

Yeah I understand what you're saying but negativity breeds negativity. I've been supporting Manly for 53 years and helped head up the cheer squad in the 70's and slept nights out at the SCG before GF's in the Sheridan Stand. I've been through this many times and we always come through it stronger and hungrier so we just need to be patient. Players will eventually come, we just need to stay positive.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Not surprised in the least , probably upped his TPA payment by an extra $400k a year just for his manager suggesting Manly might be interested.

There are so many rumours about Burgess coming here blah blah blah, you have to be realistic. He has had recent success there and he will be paid handsomely for his efforts. I dont blame him for staying there. We really need to sort out who will be the coach beyond the immediate future because we are really going to struggle signing anyone until that is resolved. If you were a player off contract and looking at new options, your first question would have to be, who is the coach? how is the club run? is there a chance of success there? Right now, those questions are where Manly have been struggling of late. We need to get our house in order and fast!
