Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVIII

You reckon he's getting paid as a top 17 player?

Paid as a top 25 player is overs he's a back up at best. Just another quality Ricky Stuart signing.

:lol: Ah sorry, just noticed what I wrote. Egg on face.

No problem, mate. It was a bit funny, tho.

Didn't he play a few NRL games for the Bunnies ?

I would think he was bought as a fringe player moreso than a back up.

I reckon if we get Hayne back for 2015 we're a decent shot at the title. Of course, the 6 or 7 other dominant players we have would have to take a back seat again.

There are backups in the top 25. If your top 17 is locked down then you will have eight backups in the top 25, less for every position that is being contested by multiple players.

Meh!! He was a poor signing it's as simple as that, knowing Ricky he would have paid overs. Why do you think the club have tried and failed to move him on????

Hunt would be on around 120-150K id guess. We will have to pay atleast half...

I agree a backup fullback who can only play fullback is a bit of a wasted roster slot. It's why guys like Mullaney and Gardner were moved on and now Lachlan Coote might be doing the same. Robinson is much better.

Hunt was trialled in the halves and at hooker at Wenty but he was never going to be good enough to even play first grade as a backup in those positions. So he's not a utility at all. He's a specialist fullback.

Agree the UK might be his go. You wouldn't want to rely on him for 20 games in the NRL.

If it didn't free up a top 25 slot would we bother? And if it did then does it matter what we pay?

Nothing I guess-Hey Pou wna give me 75 grand for doing nothing?

He was killing it at 5/8 for the Bears a couple years ago. Only moved to fullback when Keary played.

it was impressive. do you think he would have been able to do it if he wasn't wearing those silicon gloves that have a shit load more friction than car tyres or fly paper?

Manly CEO http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...val-and-politics/story-fni3gnk1-1227133416546

FORAN AND CHERRY-EVANS

Will they stay ... or will they walk?

“They are key priorities in terms of re-signings beyond 2015,” Kelly said. “We all know the calibre of player they are and what they mean to this club.

“We will be doing absolutely everything we possibly can to re-sign them to long-term deals. When it gets to that time, we will be offering packages at the marquee player rate. They are the nucleus of this team going forward.”

Asked did he fear Manly may only have the cash to sign one of the pair, Kelly said: “There’s a possibility. It is big challenge to re-sign both. We get that.”

Pressed on when he wanted the contracts cleared-up, he said: “We’d like to have conversations sooner rather than later. We are at the table now but we also want them to have their downtime after a long, gruelling season. Then we will start negotiations.”
