[Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

Problem is even a broken watch is right twice a day, concerned that Weidler might have some mail on this…..but yes @madmax not saying you are wrong

Am sure someone else has picked this up, but Weidler in the Sun Herald today (yep so buyer beware) says it’s not a cork for Tom, but hammy 😬

That makes sense. How many players miss 3 matches due to a cork?

Clayton backrow you cant be serious. He gets ragdolled as a winger.

Well we don’t seem to want to buy any back rowers, so we may as well try to create one internally. Played plenty of centre and a regular spot in top 30 will see him bulk up. Hoppa used to get ragdolled regularly - not many saying that now. Talau has been regularly touted for a back row switch - not sure he is that much bigger than Clayton. Not enough spots for all our outside backs but only 2 regular backrowers.

Talau would be 5-10 kilos heavier than clayton and has also played heavier at the Tigpies.

But it’s a sausage skin cork……..

Ok, it was just a thought. Apologies for wasting your time.

A “very rare” sausage skin cork.

😂…Weidler also said DCE wasn’t leaving Manly for more money! Weidler also thinks he’s a journalist but he’s actually just a fu<kwit. Funny how he was so worked up about emails that he knew of yet when Manly were gonna show them he disappeared. Like I said he’s just a fu<kwit who has no idea. I can’t stand fu<kwittery & that’s all he is!

Yeah, this is an easy one to speculate about, a lot of people would be thinking the same but it doesn't make it true.

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.

Not too sure with Koula 's contract . Certainly recall when he was re signed for 3 years up until 26 i think with an option in his favor for 27 that he was being courted a bit by R U .
Thought that it may have been more in the 450 - 500 K range but only a guess and do have to pay a bit extra for an X and utility factor so any very hopefully future ongoing Manly contract would have to be a bit more then my presumed amount for his current deal .
Quite sure that Garrick"s contract extension was in the 600 K range and realistically , could expect the same if he continues on after 26 , i think when it ends and taking into account his goal kicking ability but apparently Fogarty no slouch either .
Great if Talau and Faulalo can be retained but lets just see how the priorities go and coming up
