Worst Big Name Signing

[castle eagle]

I guess you mean Luke Burgess ... yes but he was never much good

for me its Myles by .... well, by light years

Luke Burgess, the trevor chappell of his family

 

[MightyEagles]

Matt Guberina

 

[Jerry1]

Myles was a plant - useless plodder at Manly who just picked up his pay packet & did nothing else...

 

[Cameron]

Matt Burke.

 

[ricardo]

What was the trainer with the beard called?

 

[Jacinta Martin]

Not always the big name signing that's the problem, it's the amount paid for underperforming players that cause a bigger problem..

Case in question , Nate Myles , circa $600k a year and ****ing useless!!

Made worse by the fact that he went to Melbourne mid-season, promptly retired at the end of that year (2017) and then we had to carry his contract in our salary cap in 2018.

I still don't understand why the NRL made Manly carry his contract in our cap when he had already left the club for another club, actually played first grade for the Storm and then retired. After he left Manly that should have been the end of our responsibility for the Big Giant Head.

Yep ,def Nate Myles by a forehead.

Ray Higgs or Kevin Iro for mine

Def the giant midget

 

[ricardo]

Giant dwarf for me. Two good games, two average games, the rest **** then we paid him to p!ss off to Melbourne then had to pay him while he was retired. Because, Manly.

Wallaby Mat Burke in the late 1980s did not do much. Not the tv guy Burke. The other one.

Funny that both Matt Burke and Don McKinnon had blinders in Manly's 64-12 win over Parramatta, but then again I probably would have had a decent game in Manly colours that day.

Fun fact, big Don got MOM that day too

But what a miserable team they were by the end of that year losing 19-6 to Balmain, who had just backed up from a midweek playoff for 5th.

[Tragic Eagle]

Myles worst player signing and Barrett worst coach signing in view of the talent he had available to him and Sharp a close second.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

I remember being excited about Kevin McGuinness and he didn’t produce

How times have changed

 

[maxta]

A different angle, but I will add Ian Shubert, not horrible...but considering his status as a Top shelf player at Roosters spent plenty of time in reggies and didn't really shine at Manly.
Andy Goodway was a Pom with a huge reputation and was non existent at Manly.
Jorgen Rodgers already mentioned, but terrible and another fail was James Leuluai who seemed a talented 5/8, but done nothing at Manly.
