Transfer market in gridlock until first domino falls

[HappilyManly]

Who comes up with this s**t? It's straight out of a soap opera...

It's ridiculous isn't it? Gould can't get Cleary in next year so signs him up from 2020, forcing the Tigers to release him for 2019. Broncos want "the next big coach" in Seibold so they force Bennett into a stalemate and will have their way with getting Seibold a release for 2019.

If Roosters are really after Marty Taupau then they will get him as well, regardless of the fact that he's not on the open market and that it's outside of the NRL's rules for Politis to even approach him... Ridiculous how certain clubs and player/coach managers have so much bloody power.

Who will be the first big domino to fall?

Cameron Smith, John Sutton, Jarryd Hayne, Corey Oates, Tavita Pangai jnr, Matt Lodge and James Segayaro all face the prospect of not having a contract registered before their current clubs return to training and there are many other players in the same position.

Won't they all just sign with the Roosters?

I like Jai Field and Zac Lomax..
I'm looking forward to seeing how the Dragons fit Lomax, Field and Aitken into 2 centre spots.
I'm also interested to see how the tigers fit Reynolds, Marshall and Brooks into 2 halves spots.
Also wondering if Browny will place Ponga in the front line or keep Watson and Pearce in the halves.

Anything outside Manly related news got you intrigued this early in the offseason??

I'm also more stoked about the Donny Singe signing than the return of Des, thats how much I love the Don!

We should have a crack at aitken

Bulldogs have let it be known that they will not stand in the way of Foran's return to Brookie ......

Fair player but lots of hamstrings issues. Not worth a risk imo

Like him a lot, but we are sorted for centres IMO

Bennet officially a Rabbid 😛

Souths are the big losers in all this. Bennett!

I guess Madge was out of the question for them :0)

I feel like all these sides, managers and coaches were all desperate to jump ship but couldn't quite bring themselves to do it till Drs returned to Manly....

 

[ManEagle]

What a farce, a contract in the NRL these days is not worth the paper or ink it is signed with.....

Then again I dont care WE GOT DES !!!

Can we let it be known we don't want the broken down hack, back?

Yep, see we’re already leading the way again.
Didn’t take long did it!

Maybe we need another members forum so they listen to this also

Des would have his 24 players picked the day he started talking to Manly, probably has his spreadsheets updated based on stats etc
