Most clubs have over 30 players in the 1st grade squad.

LOL. Oh dear !!

Anyone with a bit of knowledge about Manly's salary situation know what this means? Will have any space to sign a replacement? Or is it more likely they look to extend their high profile players and replace him from within the current squad?

I'm sure a cheaper replacement will be on the card. Stewart was on 800k due to back ending this year, I can't imagine the salary cap situation is so clogged that Manly wouldn't be able to sign anyone at all next year

 

[Red Bear]

Manly have done a fantastic recruiting job over several seasons where it seems every decent forward they lose they have a cheap replacement on the way who does as good a or even a better job.

Cant stand Manly but have to respect the way they put a side together, and that they tend to pick up quality footballers, not just athletes.

 

[Generational Player]

It's a big loss, but as long as this enables Manly to sign the halves and other key players to extensions then it's fine long term. Losing players to cap pressure is an unfortunate part of modern day football that Manly had, for the most part, done a pretty good job of avoiding so far. The problem with this signing would only be if it lead to an exodus amongst other players.

Imo he's the most replaceable out of the Sea Eagles top players, a great ball playing back rower but with Cherry Evans and Foran continuing to improve each season his role in this regard is diminishing. I mentioned in another thread it's better to lose older players two years too soon, than two years too late.

It doesn't matter if they have 1000000000 players hanging around the club. The top 25 players (which logically must be made up of some minimum wage players) is what counts under the salary cap. Any players outside of that 25 come in under the insanely low second tier cap which is about 400k.

Its why clubs who get a lot of injuries end up paying off a salary cap fine on top of a shit season.

Bad luck Souths,. Next you be signing Matai.
Hope Ben Teo now joins the Broncos,.

 

[The Eagle]

Well that makes MCK a priority re signing

Watched a Manly game so far this year?

Matai is probably the form centre in the competition at the moment.

They normally are when they want a new contract.
Same as Kenny Dowel, he needs a new contract as well.

Because you're hillbillyjizzer, owned a thousand times over in every single lol@souffs thread.

 

[hillbillyjazzer1954]

well done Souths supporters G. Stewart is a sensational pick up.......take no notice of all the pea brained morons on here who are rubbishing him......he has another few years of good footy in him, and you also have the bonus of him mentoring the younger players coming through

 

[Vic Mackey]

I enjoy a lol@souffs as much as the next guy

But I love how now that he's signed with souffs all of a sudden no one rates Glenn Stewart. The bloke is pure class, I would love the tigers to sign him. He is a huge loss to manly and a great signing by souths.

Matai has been one of the form centers over the last few years. Pretty sure he's only recently signed a new contract anyway.

so what, I am way past that try a bit harder next time :lol::lol:, it still does not take away from the fact that El Diablo is pitiful

Well said. His injuries are a reasonable concern but when he is on the field you expect only class

You post a lot of rubbish but honestly, suggesting that Matai only lifts at contract time is a very stupid statement.
