It's an absolute travesty that the above could be our halves pairings next year. I thought penn scenario planned for both to leave cause the options above are scenario planning to get the spoon.

I could live with it if we had a fantastic forward pack. Carney, Sandow and Lui can all play. They're not top shelf players but they're capable.

Would much prefer that DCE extends his contract with Manly though.

 

[HappilyManly]

What's your preferred option.

A. Carney and Sandow.

B. Carney and Lui.

C. Lui and Sandow.

cos that's what we're getting. @bones

Manly can not possibly entertain hiring a convicted man in Lui - Sponsors will follow the female members out the door in droves

I thought Robert Lui was a talent, and liked what he did the ball...but...the guy cannot defend to save his life. He leaks so many points, and did so, even when the Cowboys were at the top of their game. It's like playing a man short when he is defending. It's not so much a lack of physicality either; it's his reads.

Ash Taylor from the Broncos to be at Manly from 2016 according to Dobbo on NRL 360.

Yeah i just saw that, has anyone seen the kid play?

Seems to have a bit of talent, some pretty big raps on him up here in Qld

 

[Eagleman]

Ive seen him play a few times. Has certainly been impressive.

2:53 He is a half and has huge wraps on him
NRL360 Dobbin guy just said that even though he is under contract, Bennett will release him to a strong Club like Manly as he has Hunt and Milf in front of him
Its reported as a done deal Hope it is

 

[Simonmyers11]

If right, we'd have a completely loaded team, and would need to offload some players. 36 players are listed below. Who gets the chop (top 25 are in a squad, so cut 11)?



01. Brett Stewart, Tom Trbojevic
02. Jorge Taufua, David Williams, Cheyse Blair
03. Steve Matai, Brayden Wiliame
04. Peta Hiku, Delroy Berryman
05. Clinton Gutherson
06. Jamie Lyon, Manaia Rudolph
07. Daly Cherry-Evans, Riley Travers, Jack Littlejohn
08. Darcy Lussick, Willie Mason
09. Matt Ballin,
10. Nate Myles, Josh Starling
11. Feleti Mateo, Jesse Sene-Lefeo
12. Tom Symonds, Blake Leary
13. Jamie Buhrer, Justin Horo

14. Jayden Hodges
15. Brenton Lawrence, James Hasson
16. Jake Trbojevic, Ligi Sao, Uiti Baker, Michael Chee-Kam
17. Dunamis Lui, Tyson Andrews, Siosaia Vave

then a couple of NYC call ups? If we are after DCE, Myles and Lussick, maybe we have to rationalise guys, and lose maybe a Brenton Lawrence for a Ligi Sao. Lose a Justin Horo for a Dunamis Lui to get a certain top 17 start? Maybe no - we would need to shed 11 or more.

To start with, the players I'd look at moving on:-

01. David Williams (love him, but want him to get 1st grade time on the park)
02. Cheyse Blair (Tom Trbojevic & Brayden Wiliame make him somewhat surplus)
03. Delroy Berryman (Had his shot, and we have depth/utility already in the centers)
04. Jack Littlejohn (If DCE stays, Travers should be his under study)
05. Manaia Rudolph (HATE giving up a 5/8, but Buhrer, Lyon, Bullet can all play 5/8 worst case)
06. Siosaia Vave (By all reports, has looked ordinary in Premier League)
07. Michael Chee-Kam (Has not lived up to expectation unfortunately)
08. Uiti Baker (Same goes for Uiti - just needed to find that next level - and our depth kills him)
09. Willie Mason (I watched an old Dogs game yesterday - and he's a shadow of that player - retires)
10. James Hasson (Out with Hasson, in with Lussick - I love Lussick tbh as a player)
11. Jesse Sene-Lefeo (Killed me this one, but he has really dropped off in form and impact)

Therefore, my top 25 are: Brett Stewart, Tom Trbojevic, Jorge Taufua, Steve Matai, Brayden Wiliame, Peta Hiku, Clinton Gutherson, Jamie Lyon, Daly Cherry-Evans, Riley Travers, Darcy Lussick, Matt Ballin, Nate Myles, Josh Starling, Feleti Mateo, Tom Symonds, Blake Leary, Jamie Buhrer, Juston Horo, Jayden Hodges, Brenton Lawrence, Jake Trbojevic, Ligi Sao, Tyson Andrews & Dunamis Lui.

That has quality written all over it, and I also think one of the best rosters on paper. I also think this team would do really well for Toovey. I feel bad for the other players, but this IS a business after all these days.

Thought's?

Would still like to go after a young half like hastings and keep Burgess for his final year. Let go of Andrews. Rest looks good.

 

[Eagleman]

Didnt think we were a chance as he was contracted for 2016. If they are prepared to release him early we should def' make a play for him. I think this young fella has more potential than Elgey.

 

[Eagles2nv]

So is he replacing Foz or DCE?

or is he a junior signing as cover for the future halves.

 

[HappilyManly]

Both, unless he brings a friend along

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

And if Robert married Dunamis, he would be Robert Lui. Or maybe Robert Lui-Lui.

 

[tookey]

And if Robert married Dunamis, he would be Robert Lui. Or maybe Robert Lui-Lui.

Not going to happen while Tony Abbott is in charge

 

[manlyfan76]

And if Robert married Dunamis, he would be Robert Lui. Or maybe Robert Lui-Lui.

Lui Lui, oh no, said we gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi

 

[Eagles2nv]

Lui Lui, oh no, said we gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi

This has to be the greatest thread on silvertails. Its such a diverse thread.

I want chez to backflip so this thead stays alive his whole career

NRL 2015: How Manly plan to keep Daly Cherry-Evans at Sea Eagles — Market Watch

CHERRY-EVANS BACKFLIP FIRMING


MANLY legend Cliff Lyons has urged Daly Cherry-Evans to stay at Brookvale, with the club on the verge of completing the ultimate U-turn.

A Cherry-Evans backflip is gaining momentum, with the Sea Eagles pulling out all the stops to convince the young Test star to reject a deal to join the Gold Coast next season.

The club has just over three weeks left to strike a deal with the halfback, with the Titans unable to register their big money four-year deal with the NRL until after round 13.

“Everyone is hopeful,” Lyons told foxsports.com.au of Cherry-Evans changing his mind.

“If he stays that makes things a bit easier.

“Losing your key playmakers at one time is daunting for any side.”

Having lost Anthony Watmough to Parramatta last year and Kieran Foran set to leave at the end of the season, the Sea Eagles look likely to get one of their own back.

Darcy Lussick is close to agreeing on a three-year deal which will see him return to the club he made his NRL debut with in 2011.

The Sea Eagles are also firming as favourite to secure the signature of Gold Coast skipper Nate Myles for next season, on a three-year deal worth close to $1.5 million.

Sea Eagles coach Geoff Toovey appeared on NRL360 on Wednesday night where he was quizzed on their tactic of targeting friends of Cherry-Evans.

When asked if the tactic works Toovey jokingly replied: “I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks.”

Should the club lose Cherry-Evans, it is being reported that Brisbane would be willing to release Holden Cup halfback Ashley Taylor to take up an NRL deal as he is stuck behind Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford in the pecking order.

According to Lyons, who wore the No.6 for NSW and Australia, young outside back Tom Trbojevic could be a possible replacement for Kieran Foran and play five-eighth for the Sea Eagles next season.

“We have young Trbojevic — I know he is a fullback but I’m sure he used to play half or five-eighth before,” Lyons offered.

“I’d be looking at him to move up to the halves at one stage even though he is only young, he has a bit of talent about him ... There is a bit of potential there.

“If you can’t get a top liner you go for your juniors.”

Like Lyons, Cherry-Evans won a Clive Churchill Medal while playing for the Sea Eagles and Cliffy has urged the 26-year-old to remain with the club next season.

“We have class at Manly and we’re a top-line side,” Lyons said.

“He is going to be doing a lot of work up there (on the Gold Coast), going to new ground, at a new club, so it’s going to take him a couple of years to fit in there.

“Staying at Manly he won’t have to go through that change.”
