Thomas Flegler

[manly al]

It probably is BUT until we become a success , and a really desirable destination that’s probably what had to happen.

Look at the money the Bulldogs have thrown about.

Think again much could depend on Jake becoming a full time prop . Then would just need the likes of Alioia , Paseka , hopefully Keppie to fire up on a regular basis . Then even Sipley , Boyle , Bulemor , a few of the young guns including Sykes who i would not underestimate to step up . Condon has apparently been signed for 3 seasons to give some decent input and not unfamiliar with a prop role. Really have ability or good potential right through the squad , just need the right combinations and structures , a better run with injuries and a few fringe players to step up a bit to get the show back on the road so to speak .

Yeah but we have a salary cap

just need the right combinations and structures

Twas very predictable this year with a lot of one-out stuff and very little combination. Also the line speed amongst the forwards several metres and several seconds slower than most of the "Top 4-6". Blind Freddy could this so hopefully the new coaching team can improve over next few months.

Not sure if this is fitness related or coaching related or player ability related but we are about to find out!!!

As posted in Rumours there was a possibility on Manly landing Flegler this year. Do we have a source link for this @Disco ?

I just heard it on the Rugby League Gurus podcast.

I personally don't put much stock in it but hey, a rumours a rumour

 

[manly al]

Would have to think Manly "s top 30 or plus is already settled for this season and no doubt the Broncs . Next season is an entirely different matter and then there is the 25 % increase in the cap and still some considerable mystery how that is being apportioned either within the exiting squad or future considerations

Beer and breakevens forward and 2rf analysis.

Its just a passing comment

 

[Bloke on the hill]

Hoping Paseka has a great 2023.

Watching his last few years it seemed as though Paseka had modelled his playing style from Luke Burgess.

A swap Marty for Flegler sounds good to me

This would be win win for Manly if this was ever to eventuate. To swap Jane for crazy eyes Flegler would be huge!

clearly isn't the case though since Marty is there already

 

[MightyEagles]

Now that TC Robati has stuffed up again I would say zero chance of Flegler coming to Manly

Well, if Hass stays on, and on good coin. Good chance the Broncs could ask him to freely negotiate with other clubs for next year.

 

[Red Pill]

It would make sense if we sign a quality prop for this season. I suspect this is about as likely as the turbo brothers going to the dolphins…

 

[Ben]

I know swapping Marty in return for Flegler isn’t going to happen as Marty is already there and Marty was also a free agent anyway. But we are talking if Flegler was to end up here, losing Marty and gaining Flegler as the end result

Salary cap will increase 25% so will make it difficult

****, at this stage I'm just happy with losing Marty.

This is why the broncos never lose players they want to keep
