Ryan Matterson off contract for 2022

Okay I know Ill be shouted down but I rate Brown. I like the way he hits the ball up at pace coming from the deep. I like the way he hits hard and sticks in defence, He is a fierce competitor and I respect that in a player. I hope we sign him.
Lewis?
 
No thanks

Would maybe be the worst signing for club culture we could make.

We all complain about the salary cap management at Manly, but we want to sign ANOTHER player who is looking to top out his career earnings at Manly? As if we don't have enough, all of the following are at the highest wage they will likely ever get paid, and its no mystery why we're failing:
1. Jake - 950k
2. DCE - 1.25mn
3. Marty - 750k
4. Tom - 1.1mn
5. Suli - 500k

Lets add Matterson to that stack and let him squeeze more of out stretched cap, great idea!
6. Matterson - 850k

Nooooo thank you.

Would rather pay Crichton 900k, or buy both Talakai (250k) and Riki (400k) for rotation...
 
Because we need a fast energetic lock. Unlike Jake. Jake can go to prop rotation or shop him around.
shopping Jake around would be the final nail in our coffin regarding club culture.

The ****storm that would unwind would be horrible. Despite the overpaying, it was crucial to lock down the Trbojevic's if we want any hope of titles in the next few years. A club needs a nucleus and thats what the Trbojevic's are.

Also S.Fainu, he in the top 30?
 
Xavier Coates at broncos is off contract
Terrific player, yet that hasn't resulted in a Bronco win for the past 13 matches.
Teams need to build a culture of success, and that doesn't start with a winger who needs inside help in order to score tries.
It starts in the forwards. Ben Kennedy changed the culture at Manly by being tough and a winner.
