Those players he mentioned will be off contract mate. No releasing necessary. Hehehe.

Not saying that we sign them all, simply that they are targets. Also remember we will have a $600k cap reduction being lifted

Fair enough. Few too many tonight lol in that case, the release list is good. IMO target gutho and martin and upgrade another 2

We'll be in a much better position to recruit with Des than we were with Trent provided we have some funds...

 

[Not Paul Kent]

Unfortunately there doesn’t really appear to be too much of what we need off contract

 

[Woodsie]

Jarrod Hayne has revealed he has always dreamed of playing for Manly on an incentive contract .....

I think they have mentioned that they will shore up some younger players contracts and not recruit big for next year because of the cap.
Don't know how that can change even with Des but should be good for 2020...

Only 330k. This year and next $330k each season so we've already served half the penalty

The coaching merry-go-round is far from over and clubs like Panthers, Broncos and Souths may yet end up with new people in charge - meaning all of them will want to 'tweak' their player lists, and players under contract will be moved around, not just those off contract.

The overall quality of each squad will remain similar, but the tweaking - including at our club - will aim to address perceived shortcomings, whether that be forward, back, playmaker, bench or simply squad depth.

The players who need to be offloaded:
Winterstein (unless Des can unlock the beast inside)Taufua, Wright, Goswolski (or whatever his name is)
Parker, Croker, Kelly, Perrett, Sipley
Keep Tanginoa and the other big wrecking ball

Before we start to off load any one lets see how they play under Des .

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Yes, that was one of the big mistakes of the Barton (Barrett/Fulton) era.

Fulton has never failed . Others have failed him

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Somehow I doubt that Des would have been in a hurry to offload Gutherson.

Yep, I think there will be huge improvements in all areas! Those that don't aim up will be moved on.

Yep, I think there will be huge improvements in all areas! Those that don't aim up will be moved on.

And I'm pretty confident that come round 1 all players will be made aware of that fact.
