Rumoured signings 2014 / 2015

[Doomednow]

The only people who think buying the majority of a playing roster doesn't matter are the fans of the teams that do it. They are more brands than teams. No soul. Just throw money at it at and poach talent from elsewhere.

Of course everyone does it to some extent. But some are worse than others.

Rustling Jimmies

just worry about your own clubs player roster mate.

if Parramatta sign Foran, they can forget about Hayne

no way they sign them both given what Foran is demanding and what Hayne will be demanding as well after a stint in the NFL

Looks like we'll find out next week where Merrin is going. Down to Panthers and Broncos.

And the ridiculious money both Hoppa and Choc are on.

I'm an idiot huh? It is a certified fact that JamieLyon played the majority of his junior football for the Wee Waa Panthers. He was recruited to the Parramatta Eels by Noel Cleal whilst he was in high school when he then started attending Parramatta Marist High School and played for Parramatta in the Junior Rep teams before making his first grade debut in 2000. Have a look at what team Mr Lyons says are his junior league teams- Parramatta Marist? No. Parramatta Junior Eels? No. Wentworthville? No. Merrylands? No. Guildford? No. Cabramatta? No. Fairfield Patrician Brothers? No. Toongabbie Tigers? No. Seven Hills? No. Mount Pritchard? No. He lists no team that is or was in the Parramatta District Junior Rugby League.

So next time you question my intelligence I suggest you look up some FACTS before you do. :lol:

Again idiot

 

[natheel]

OK....

And why wouldnt he stay? We would still have money for him and are building a good squad. I'm sure players will want to be part of that. Oh right only players can want to be at manly

Article in the Telegraph today says Kieran Foran is 'changing his mind every day'. There's definite suss about it all. Doing all this negotiating now it's like Foran and DCE are intentionally trying to derail the start of Manly's season. Perhaps Foran is just trying get Manly to up their offer because he knows DCE is going. The fact is with the market value of those players there's no way both can be retained. And it seems DCE is a money hungry whore so it 's most likely he'll go to the Titans. If so, Manly could then Match Parra's offer to retain Foran. Assuming he wants to stay that is.

 

[POPEYE]

I doubt very much that DCE or Foran are doing any more than listen to their managers who are paid to advise them. Only when the manager shrugs his shoulders and says 'now it's up to you, I've done all I can' will we see a result

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I didn't realise the Wee Waa Panthers, where Jamie Lyons started playing rugby league were in the Parramatta District :shock: He may have played lower grades for Parramatta and made his First Grade debut for the eels but you cannot call him necessarily an Eels junior. In fact Lyon was recruited to the Eels by Noel Cleal.

I consider Lyon as a eels junior as they signed him young and developed him into an NRL player.

Just like I consider the Stewart brothers as Manly juniors ( they did all the development work) and not a Dragon/steeler juniors even though they grew up and played junior footy in the gong.

 

[carcharias]

We'll I consider inglis a queenslander then.

 

[POPEYE]

Jamie was only a junior to his father, claiming a youngster who has not committed to League as a career, short as it may be, is tiring bullshit

I think your reading to much into that.

Every big free agent is doing something similar, Jason Taumalolo for example. Shit even Greg Inglis manager is out there spruiking and his contract has another 2 years to go!

lol

lol. Maybe.

Question for Manly fans: would you feel better in a way if the club just told them both to walk? I know they'd be massive losses and the team would need to rebuild but how many more clubs do they need to visit before the fans start questioning their support of them?

 

[ram raid]

Considering the $ they're demanding it might be a blessing in disguise, just like Hayne leaving Parra might be. There's been questions over DCE's rep level and whether he might be overrated. And Foran .. he'll be a loss but think of all the cap space that will be free. Manly do have a habit of finding talent / recruiting well (as they did with DCE and Foran).

 

[Noname36]

There's also the question that's been floating around for a long time regarding how both would go if the other wasn't there and they were forced the be a side's number 1 half. It's highly likely Manly will lose at least 1 and they could realistically end up paying a fortune to keep the other who doesn't perform to that level on his own and has lost the support of a lot of fans due to the way it's been handled.

They have to rebuild anyway. The salary cap and age has got them. Might as well start fresh with blokes that wouldn't let the club get jerked around like this. As much as I hate Manly they'll rebuild. They've done it before.

They are both brilliant players but this is a fair question. Also manly have been the most consistently good team since well before they debuted with the best backline in league the last few years(maybe not last season).

Take all that away and they may suffer, they will always be class players and two of the best but they have been in a pretty great situation on field atleast until now.

You mean like when Foran was playing grand finals before dce came to grade?
