signed from 2023.

Unexpected to say the least. Good player, i like his role at Manly in the 14, but suspect he wants to play centre/five-eighth.

Great utility player. Can cover so many positions if needed. I'd be happy with him at centre pairing Berry. Backup for the halves, fullback, or even backrow.

That came out of left field didn't it! We're recruiting well for 2023.

Nice to see that Warriors HQ reads my posts.

Pretty sure turner officially signed with the titans

What about Dylan walker?

Off contract and would be decent for us at 6.

Dylan Walker?

I know he is an a*hole but man he is having an outstanding game.

I know he is a knob, but I dont see why we arent looking at Dylan walker.
Could play left centre, or 6. And he would come cheap.

I hope it's to play centre and not in the halves as a first choice - I assume that's the case anyway, with Metcalf coming also. Berry on one side, Walker the other.

honestly, I think his quality centre days are behind him. The last 2 years he has struggled to get in front of Brad Parker and got reinvented into a role which seemed perfect in the modern game in the middle of the park, the rumours were he wasn’t content and enjoying that role though even though he was shining in it

defensively he was abysmal in the chances he did get, especially with positioning. He was on fire 2016 or 17 in the centre’s then suffered a horrific leg injury in PNG and hasn’t quite been the same since out wide, might have cost him a bit of pace and mobility and has had trouble staying on the park since

Well, that's a shame then. I can't see why this signing was made if he won't be a good centre anymore.

It could be a punt that an extended run there will find some form again, he wouldn’t be worse than the average centre, but not sure his elite days are still in him

He wouldn’t have broken the bank either, he and Taupau were on record earlier this week stating they had no offers from any club for next season, although with this announcement he may have been telling porkies

As a player I like him, have heard he is an extremely popular member of the playing group, but as a person I found him hard to support

I still find it weird to be signing someone so far out.
Why do Manly really care to play him vs longer term player? Do they put the effort into his rehab (if needed)?
Didn't like it when Maloney signed for Roosters and had a year left on his contract with us.
Hopefully a trade window sorts it out.

Thankfully those are manlys problems, not ours
