Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

[roboshark]

He might be just seeking Fitz thoughts on the roosters. Someone not as close to it anymore but still would have a fair bit of an idea as to the running of the club

DCE was in sharks carpark years ago, when he was thinking of going to Titans and did the backflip.
But yes DCE for Hynes.
We need an "A" half you can't win with two "B".
I can't think of last time a team one the comp with two "B" ranked halves.
I think and go for him to believe it is Hynes thinks he is that "A" player, I think even though he plays like a 5/8 he didn't want to give the 7 up

DCE in a Sharks jersey - that's 'next level' when it comes to forcing us to suddenly support someone who you've always totally despised...

The last such case was Will Chambers... Unfortunately, he didn't perform for us...

DCE is a washed up hack

 

[Quicksilver]

Best Manly transfer since Cuthbo.

The age is a real concern.

I agree, his back half of the year was poor.

That the Rorters have gone cold tells me all I need to know.

Pass

There could be more to this.
Sharks/Roosters have good relationship Fitz Robbo uncle Nick and Dino.
Throwing this out there, Joey Manu maybe he wants back at Roosters similar money to DCE.
We have seen that we need a half DCE would be it.
To make this all happen we would need to move Nicho on, uncle Nick helps Dino do this.
Nicho to Manly or follows Hannay to Titans

The best judge of players is a clubs own fans, I (unfortunately) work with a few manly fans and to a man they couldn't wait to see the back of him. Because of this I watched him a bit more closely this season. He's done.

Probably also because he seems a highly selfish and unlikable person.

Think he would bring disharmony

 

[PJ]

Plus, if he has an agreement with rorters, let them live with a bad deal

Could do worse than a SOO player in the #14 jersey with a transition to halves coach afterwards.

Hard to see us having the money without some other movement and you'd think fullback would be more of a priority.

*Edit. Or perhaps he's actually not settled on playing next year and he's interested in Hannay's vacant assisting coaching gig?

I reckon it was just BBB calling the radio station with another of his pranks ala Reefy 2.0

 

[Special K]

Fake news. A fb post can go viral still it seems.

Just separate to the DCE thing (which I’m sure will turn out to be BS), something did stand out to me when Nicho was doing his whole ‘people are disrespecting us’ talk, he said something along the lines of ‘these boys are my family, whilst I play for this club’…
There was just something weird about it - like he was going all in on being a ‘family’, but checked himself because he knew one day he might have a ‘different family’.

 

[Since 73]

It is odd though that his signing at the Rorts hasn't been confirmed.
Would make sense to have done so when both teams were out of contention.

Has Robbo gone cold on signing an aging 7 after the Chad failure?...has he had a change of heart after Savala revealed what he has?
Has he then phoned his old 2IC to offer DCE?

This all makes sense...

I caught that as well.
Why add the tag line?

IF....
IF this is true...

These meetings happen all the time.
But they happen at the managers house or the coach's place.

They only take place at public spots when the club wants it leaked.
Gus has been doing this for decades.

IF the meeting took place Fitz wanted it out there.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Saw a graphic last week showing each teams best buy for 2026… think we were 1 of maybe 2 clubs that had no player to show.

The thing is we need an A grade half back.
I think Metcalf is that level now is injury prone off contract end of next season, we could make a play for him.
Hynes is the one that needs to be moved on due to amount his is on
