Best interests of the club at heart.

He'll re-sign on 750-800k I reckon which is great

Lehi to FB, Tom to centre on a reasonable salary and Garrick to the wing. Sorted.

 

[Heckenberg]

Definite savings approaching with those three instances but also will need definite upgrades to Lehi , Bully , Burbo and maybe to a lesser extent Koula who is probably on decent money already .
Maybe even Talau and Faulalo
Could be a few hundred grand in resultant savings but would more look to the current contract to Aloiai in particular to gain some more tangible contract savings if he may not be retained soon and taking his present deal into account

I doubt Koula gets upgraded. Think he’s already on around 700 k from memory as we signed him for quite a few years whilst he was being sounded out as a potential union target. Garrick also signing when Newcastle were targeting him for fullback inflated his price a bit too. I think we could really save some coin from his contract and would probably extend Koula for similar if not slightly less. For what it’s worth we could pretty easily move Clayton or Talau to one of the centre positions and save a few hundred k easily.

Still think it’s a huge gamble. I’d be giving him 600 with incentives.

Interesting pre spin
“It just wouldn’t happen,” Jake Trbojevic said about the prospect of playing against the Sea Eagles in the aftermath of Cherry-Evans’ decision to leave Manly.
“I couldn’t do it, personally. People do that, but no, I definitely couldn’t imagine it. You never say never. We never thought Glenn Stewart would leave the club, [even though] he got forced out. We never thought Cherry-Evans would leave the club.

Thank you for posting feathered friend ...

Life brings lots of twists and turns and can turn our fortunes / affairs around
and this is why Jake says " You can never say Never "

Good to see that Jake is a Realist
As Lifes Fairy tales do not always come true

I don’t mind this, we need a war chest to spend on our forward pack.

We need a big dog $1m prop then we are really close to a real premiership push.
We have Paseka, Bully, Aloiai and young Laifi won’t be far off next year.

Imagine Hass and Paseka in the same line up 😳

Thanks!

It's been awhile since I've read the good ole line of: Sources close to Tom who spoke on the condition of anonymity told this masthead...

But Manly must've won a game last weekend so away we go.

I get the feeling you don't believe sports journalism rumours. But I could be wrong.

Garrick is also off contract at the same time. Will be interesting to see what they do with him. I think he would be high up on perths radar for a starting position. Above average NRL player, goal kicker & never has any off field problems

I'd hate to lose Rueben, despite the criticism he gets from the ST eggspurts he is one of our most consistent and passionate players not to mention being the clubs
highest point scorer in a season (2021 - 334 points),
third highest point scorer behind (G Eadie & J Lyon)
fifth highest goal scorer
ninth highest try scorer,
turning 28 this month he will likely break more club records

I’m a Rueben fan, just not at centre. I think that goes for a lot of people on here.

I hope so.

I think he is the best attacking player I have ever seen.

I must say I look forward to the day he is our head coach or CEO.

He is a quality human and deserves a long injury free run. Keeping fingers crossed.

Again a quality human.

A great goal kicker and a top player. I think he will make it as a centre.

It's a decent backline by any standards.

I was on that bandwagon but he has improved out of sight as a centre .... but I also appreciate wing was /is his best position

Rueben has always been one of my favorites
He is getting better with each game at centre

I would call our backline more deadly than decent
Skill , Strength and Speed to burn

The time has finally come to disagree with you feathered friend
Not just disagree but strongly disagree
Rueben is a Gun Centre !

 

[Michael Clare]

I wonder if the club has something special planned for when he reaches 100. A milestone game for sure.

On recent trends that will be around the 2029 season.

I think that would be best case. I was referring to the 100 games missed milestone, which could be as early as next year. Unfortunately.
