Shaun "Exit" Lane mega thread.

[Class of 96]

He deserves the big pay rise. One of the most improved players in the NRL this year. He might come back 'home' in a few years. He is only 23.

By the time Parra have finished with him, he will struggle to get a job as a janitor at the Dapto Dogs.

End up at Toronto Wolfpack or 2nd Division. Salford ya reckon mate?

So we've lost our leading try scorer next year why.... Help me understand.

Because as par for the course, the Slime have offered him a $hitload of money to leave, just like all the other players they've taken from us

 

[midsteyne]

Well young eagly, there's this thing called economics and sometimes it stops us from getting what we want. It's a little like that original AC Cobra you always wanted, we can't afford it. Yeah, I know it sucks, but it's reality.

On a serious note, Parra offered twice the upgraded amount we offered him. I'm guessing they are paying 350k+.

AC COBRA been my dream car since Carroll Shelby made it a beast.
I think we should have kept Lane.

 

[Paw93]

Like I say, if we could somehow manage to have:

Joel Thompson
Curtis Sironen
Jake Trbojevic
Bryce Cartwright

In the backrow, and a front row rotation of:

Addin Fonua-Blake
Marty Taupau
Taniela Paseka
Kelepi Tanginoa

And a hooker / utility tandem of:

Apisai Koroisou
Manase Fainu

Calling it here, injury free, that group is top 1 or 2 in the entire league given age / experience.

Love Lane, but that group would make him expendible to a degree.

If Siro stays injury free for the year then he would end up being the gun second rower we've wanted. Has a great combination with DCE which saw him score tries off passes and kicks last year. He also has a very good pass and an underrated kick. But only if he stays fit...

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Lane has been great this year, and will be a loss, but it is a loss that can potentially be covered well

A fit Sironen is obviously an upgrade, but guys like Sipley and Gos are in the same spot now that Lane was this time 12 months ago, maybe next season could be their breakout year. I am keen to see what Gos has got if he gets an injury free run, like some bits of what I see there

 

[HappilyManly]

Sipley and Amone can fill Lane's spot

Would have preferred he stay but money talks

 

[Clay]

Where this 'sh1tload' more money like coming from? Are we too fragile to accept he doesn't want to play here?

I think his making a terrible decision and he will regret it.

Lane has been asked on and off camera and said that the offer was too good to refuse.

Good luck to him in either case

Replaced with Bryce Cartwright easily. If Lane doesn't want to be here, he can **** off as far as I'm concerned.

From now on, for mine, either bleed Manly, and Manly culture, or get out. Not interested in you.

For the record, Barrett is bleeding Manly.

 

[Normie]

I believe his close friendship with Jackson Hastings had some influence on his decision but the $ were too good to refuse

Worried about Paseka's friendship with Hasting's as well.

Lane / Hastings are besties, so take it as fact about Lane basically giving the finger to our club.

With a bit of luck he will lure Wacko Jacko to the asylum for ****s and giggles.

Great thread title evolutiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

Phew, that's a relief.
I thought he was crying, and that ain't bleedin' Manly.

Shaun Lane arrived at Manly with his career at a crossroads and left Trent Barrett speechless when he announced he was moving again.

Both men had a mid-season heart-to-heart, with the 198cm back-rower departing for Parramatta next season in the form of his life and channelling Sea Eagles legend Steve Menzies' strike rate with five tries in his last four games.

Lane, who has agreed to a three-year-deal at the Eels, said Manly fought hard to keep him.

As Brett Stewart said (Love that man), "Be Manly, don't be a daaawg".
You're either with us, or against us, so Lane can pretty well go and get ****ed in my opinion.

It is obvious his brain doesn't work .... I wouldn't be using Lane as an example of anything other than congenital numb-nuttedness ..

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Sad he’s going but that’s footy!!

Two more meat pies today would be a good farewell present!!

 

[tookey]

Parramatta has a such great record for developing talent LOL

With lane's try scoring this year Arthur thinks that he has signed a winger to replace semi

Doesn't the Parramatta junior nursey rival the Panthers for numbers? There seems to be a massive difference in quality at the moment. Why is this?
