Young Forwards - Do we have any?

[Disco]

Is he the young bloke behind API?

Yep, some good young hookers around atm.

Pattie would be my pick with any but he just re-signed.

We also have young Zaidas and even younger Large so pending our faith 1 more year may be the play.

Yeah, I thought Zaidas was showing some promise in the earlier games at Brookie. He's a solid build and a bit of aggro about him. Not sure how he's been playing lately though.

And yep agree, hopefully Simpkin can be a solid gap filler until one of them steps up.

Preston currently on $350k at doggies & is borderline a rep level player. Was a little bit of talk on 360 that dogs have spent all their cap space on Thompson + Galvin for the future which is why they are already offloading Mahoney. How long is he going to stay there on that price before agitating for an upgrade or release? Also got Max King on $400k who is about to make his origin debut & surely going to want a upgrade.

Id certainly be sniffing around that squad, I’m sure there at least a few that would feel Gus & Co are not showing any loyalty to their teammates. I’ve never heard of a team axing their halfback & shopping their hooker around while leading the competition. I can understand they aren’t ‘owed’ any loyalty but it would have to p*ss you off seeing that happen to your good friends when you’ve put the hard work in together for years & are currently 2nd favourites to win the comp this season. I’m hoping this mid season drama can de-rail their season.

Anyways it’s wishful thinking but if Preston’s family really did/do want him to wear this jersey I’d keep close tabs on this situation as he should be on double his current contract. I’m sure they would have a few good young props as well that drop down the pecking order when Thompson arrives.

Dunno, maybe YOU should ask THEM.

You're approaching immortal status. Mere centimetres away from seizing the crown of best ever!I Never thought it could happen And on a Manly supporter site of all places.

"Many old blokes" and their hooker sons. Brilliant!

Do you have any good fishing tales champ?

Preaton would be a dream.

Problem is Preston is signed till the end of 27.

On a contract that is very beneficial to the Dogs cap.

Can't see why they'd release unless he really kicked stones but not sure he is the type

Yes he'd be ideal. I doubt they'll let him go as he is discussed as a future captain.

Definitely more of a dream than reality, just couldn’t see his management not kicking up a stink if he doesn’t get an upgrade. With Finau Latu & Thompson joining next season there will have to be a couple young players looking to get a better opportunity. Hopoi, Todd, Underhill all look promising

Preston would be a priority for them. They’d release other guys way before him.

Agreed, $350k for him is an unbelievable deal but it won’t last. I just hope we keep a eye on the other youngsters that will be forced out

Max King would be a nice replacement for Jake.
