The only people that even know Parcell exists are Manly fans; opposition supporters don't even know his name when you mention him to them because he has done diddly squad all year.
 
If the name players won't come then let's target the best of the up and coming players, the ones desperate for a start.

2017 is a rebuild year anyway , 2018 is whe everyone is off contract ( or lots anyway).

Mark solomona is one of the very best up and comers. Very dissapointed we couldn't get him.

Broncos fans know him well and are disappointed he left.So was Bennett but he was in the same boat as Ashley Taylor
 
Agree, would have been a revelation for us!!
Going after up and comers is also a gamble. They are cheap and want to prove themselves and could be the next best thing, on the other hand they are an unknown and might turn out to be flops like sao. He was the under 20s prop of the year and didn't really kick on. Same as chee cham.

But Manly have also chased Elgey, ash taylor, te maire, asofa etc and they are turning into quality.

Think you need a mix. Go after some potential super stars but if a quality player comes available and a position your club needs those key signings can bring your team from pretenders to contenders. We still need 2-3 key signings imo to get us back into contention

We aren't even doing a good job at being pretenders. The club under the Penn and Zorba crew are cellar dwellers.

Broncos player announcement this morning. Matt Gillett likely to announce multi year deal. Been agreed to for months.
 
I wonder who the big names are that we have supposedly signed? Not much left on the market of any quality

No one on the open market really of note once Gillett confirms his stay in Brisbane. If we are to attract a high profile player here for next year, they'll be breaking contract.
 
The announcement is Jack Reed's retirement, not Gillett re-signing.....yet

But Reed's retirement will lead to his re-signing, my sort of insider at the Donkeys suggested the only way they'd fit Matt in was if Jack retired.

So that likely to come next.
