Ok, list recent players Manly signed from other clubs please, and then narrow it down to first first graders before arriving, and then even further to the superstars that they poached.

I can If you have to go back to the 80's or further don't bother, because its 2011, so who gives a shit what happened before the NRL even existed. I think I'd find more signings for the Dragons in recent seasons tbh, and superstars at that.


Rattled your cage ? Very defensive about it I must say . By the way we did'nt poach Boyd Brisbane showed him the door Ask Des Hasler for a definition about that if your confused.

No we are not Jenny Craig, in all honesty the guy goes alright.

I agree the guy goes alright.

But my post was a question. And like i said... he would make our bench no problem. So again, what does that say about our bench? He makes more impact in 7 minutes than prior does in 80 minutes.

If you want to actually dispute anything I said, go ahead. Show why I'm wrong. This nothing statement with a :lol: doesn't dispute my point at all. Out of the players you listed only 7 were bonafide big names signed from other clubs who might have wanted to keep them is possibly, it means less than 1 a year since Des started. Not terrible.

Thanks. How about this....

Go for it.

Saints have a policy of signing discards from other clubs, signing relative unknowns, retaining current players and signing/re-signing local juniors.

Weyman, Costigan, Boyd, Soward, Cuthbertson... all shown the door by their previous clubs. Perhaps the only exception is J Smith.

Just did, as did others. But I have a feeling you don't accept being wrong.

Yawn.

You asked for players that had played first grade, before arriving at Manly. I named several.
Regardless of what twist you put on it, they've bought a lot of players. They are nothing more than a transit lounge, fast becoming the new Roosters.

Oh...champ.
