Cherry-Evans asks Manly for a release.

Poor old Des sent the wrong halfback to the Dogs.

Des knew who the good one was when Hodgkinson left. Why else would you sign a loose centre like Matai ahead of your halfback? Des just didn't know he was leaving then.

I'm glad he signed, the Sea Eagles deserve to keep Cherry-Evans. If Foran leaves will that mean Manly have the money to pretty much keep everyone else?
Stewart is on the most money of the remaining off-contract players, if he leaves that would probably leave the room to re-sign everyone else.

They're saying that clubs are baulking at Stewart's asking price. If he can't get extra $$$ to leave, he may stay.

Why do you hate Pearce?

I don't hate him but he's shit. He hasn't improved at all and offers next to nothing besides a decent defence. There was a rumour about Jnr SuperDud going to Manly to play with Foran, maybe he'd enjoy training with Liam?

Anasta, well the sooner that thief f**ks off then the better.

Pearce is NSW incumbent and unlikey to be dropped halfback and even Roosters fans don't rate him! :eek: Not good!

I think Manly's chances of re-signing Foran have just increased, not decreased. Firstly, Kieran wants to stay at Manly with his brother (who is signed until 2014 or 2015), he also wants to stay with DCE, he also hopes to have a successful career. All of those can happen at Manly, none can happen at 50uff$.
Kieran also wants to get paid. And DCE's money going from 100k to 400k+ makes that less likely.

With Taylor gone and Crocker probably retiring we can afford to throw a 5 year 4 million dollar deal at a superstar like Foran.

To be fair to Pearce he is playing alongside the worst possible partner. His career form came playing with Carney who ran the ball and allowed Pearce to pick his spots and pass or kick. 2010 was the year he played with the most confidence and actually played adventurous as times. Anasta just stinks the joint up.

Pearce would improve if he played the year with Mortimer. The fact that he is NSW incumbent though doesn't say much for NSW though.

Bunniesman really if dave Taylor goes to a club which may go bust what hope does souths have. A possible suitor for stewart may be catalans greenshields going end of year he may get the cash he wants over there.

You forget that playing for a winning team means a lot as well.

imo he will stay at Manly or end up at the Dogs, I don't see him going anywhere else.

That's just dumb. If they offered Foran $4 mill over 5 years then it's little wonder you lot have won nothing since 1971. Anyone using so much cap space on a single player is destined for failure. Slater, Cronk, Smith, even Thurston aren't on that much. He wants around $600k but Souths would probably have to offer closer to $800k to entice him to a club of perennial failures.

Did anybody actually think for a second DCE was going anywhere else?

This.

lol He was just making a commotion to bump up his price, but that didn't stop the DT from writing 218949149174129048021 articles about him. :crazy:

As someone mentioned, a couple of years in Super League for our fullback seems like good option for Manly, and maybe for Brett himself.

From next year 800k will be like 600k this year.

Titans have given Cronk 800k a year. If Cronk is worth that, then Foran at his age is worth a bazillion.

5 years 4 million would be a good contract for a superstar in the next tv rights deal.
