Who do we bring in

Realistic signings would be tass at centre if Garrick doesn't succeed with him shifting back to wing. Turuva to left wing, Taylan May to wing or centre or terrel May as starting / bench front rower or finefeuiaki for same role
 
Im not sure we need anymore backs given a fit backline of TT ,Saab, Koula, Garrick ,Brooks ,DCE and Tupilotu is pretty bloody handy along with BA ,the Schu if needed ,Humphries, Scorpio and the blacktown winger /center all in the wings
TBH if JWH wanted to go around again Id have a go at him (not sure how old he is and I hate when he plays for the Rorters but he always gives 100% and although a penalty magnet still has something to offer younger forwards in terms of reasonably controlled aggression and domination of your opponent ) ,also Hamuele from the Sharks(might be too much bulk for our already bulky FR) and even Saiafiti (not sure on the ages of those 2 ) ,would also love Jordan Riki
Anyways go Manly, even with Lodge fully fit I would like another top shelf FR if we could jag one , esp if Aloai moves on .
 
I was thinking TT, Meaney, Koala, Tass, Garrick, Brooks and DCE….

Which, let’s face it, would end up being
Meaney, Saab, Koala, Tass, Garrick, Brooks and DCE after Round 3…
haha yes maybe ,I just think we have a backline good enough ,now with Koula as the back up to TT that we can afford to strengthen other areas like FR where I think we are a bit thin given no Keppie and LOdge who although good has a question mark over him as to return date and cost ,and now talk that Aloia maybe on the move ??

I am buying two JWH’s to balance the squad 😂😂
 
Bailey Hodgson
(Likely to be signed development contract and blacktown workers)
Fullback
Age 21
182cm
85kg
11 games this year before season ending injury. (Newcastle only won 1 game during this time)
3 try assists
1 line break
55 tackles
23 missed
70.5% efficiency
183 average meters 2022 total meters
With Jake Toby moving to the Melbourne Storm for 2024 Bailey Hodgson's purpose in coming to Manly would be playing fullback for Blacktown workers. For first grade we have Koula and Garrick as fullback cover.
 
We've been battered by top 8 teams for years now (particularly the last 2). In order to improve, we needed not just one, but TWO elite forwards (and possibly a Hooker) brought in.

Our recruitment has completely failed in every aspect here.

We can't keep attain transitioning to retirement players like Woods, Brown & Lodge (people would be PISSED at his contract - despite what you'll hear or read, trust me). Then we add Waddell.

I watched the Dogs / Eagles game last night, and Waddell was atrocious.
 
Lets bring in Twiggy Forrest, he was a Souths supporter five minutes ago, he supports everybody...

"The St George Illawarra Dragons are set for a massive financial boost with Australia’s second-richest person, Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest, set to sign on as a major club sponsor.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the billionaire mining magnate is close to inking a $1.2m-per-year deal for his energy company Squadron Energy to become the Dragons’ front-of-shirt sponsor from 2025."
