Some major news

Couldn't the club have just issued a media release about these "major" signing? Seriously, why call a press conference for this stuff? Pretty amateurish look.
 
Now we have the coach and CEO locked up, surely the club turns its attention to player recruitment...
I am very surprized we have not been linked to Angus Crichton. The bloke is from Temora (same town as Baz) he's obv testing the market, we must have the cap for him and our biggest hole is a try scoring second rower... Surely he'd be our number 1 target?!?!
 
The press conference was a good idea, got 10 minutes live on Fox talking about Manly, all positive for once, we've had such appalling slurs cast on the club over the past couple of years that something (anything!) showing us in a positive light is valuable.
Point taken, SER8. I guess it's all about changing the conversation.

I disagree, Gorman, Penn and Trent displayed a level of professionalism in their responses that exceeded anything I’ve seen from any other club since the season ended. Gorman in particular was exceptional. And we can lock in our interest in Pearce. He is on our radar without a doubt. And that kind of press release, played live on Fox, would not be seen as a negative as far as sponsors and the like go.

And these gentlemen, by committing, have obviously given a vote of confidence in the club, now and for the future.

Crichton would have to want out or we would have to offer serious coin for us to have a chance to nab him. Souths know he is their best emerging player and will make sure they keep him.

He would just be bumping up his asking price by going to market, cant blame him.

Or seeing if he can get an offer just as good from a club more likely to win a competition. These young players, they want it all.

What none of the other CEO's we have had never did that either?? or coaches even
My statement is in reference to the current salary cap investigation "cloud" hanging over the club Frogz. I just didn't want to give the investigation any more "air" so I avoided mentioning it. They obviously aren't fazed by any potential findings (for want of a better word).
