Horo and Tonga sign with Manly

[oldmancraigy]

Every club needs back ups. Looks like Manly needed these two more than we did.

We have a squad full of 'backups' - so losing the backups to the backups isn't going to hurt us!

As long as Manly paid full quid on their contracts, we're in business!!

Wish them all the best and hope they produce their best Parra form for Manly :lol:

We have to get rid of dead wood, and both these players fall into that category. Horo had many chances and didn't do enough IMO. Esi, well, enough said.

 

[Gronk]

Horo had his chance. He may well come good elsewhere, but it wasn't going to happen at Parra.

Yep. Good luck, next.

Whoever at Manly decided that Esi was worth a shot, needs his head read.

unless they are trying to pull a parra on us and recruit willie by signing his brother up first

 

[Stagger eel]

Just reminding you all that Bead Arthur is now part if their coaching staff, just saying..

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Good luck to Beady.

i dont get why with the eels young squad and players that have left and the increase of the cap why the eels dont have enough space under the cap to sign both hock and folau without loosing more players.

They will be saving him for there game vs us when hell probably score 4 tries and win the game for them, just like that kid at the panthers we let go did this season, actually just like about everyone who we let go does.

It may not all be about the money but making spots available in the top 25 for new signings

 

[Redback71]

if that is the case then thats stupid. Id rather keep the Willie

Might also be about backloaded contracts to say Sandow, and whatever the issues cap wise in regards to Hoppa.

So they need to bring in guys who can't tackle and drop the ball to complement his coaching ability??

Doubt it. I heard we don't do those sort of contracts. Kearney sorted it all out.

no I think they've bought them for depth given that they've lost several fringe first graders.

PS: yes, I knew you were taking the piss..

 

[Eels Dude]

I wonder if they're paying more for Horo than we are for Daniel Harrison.

I would imagine so.

I know who I'd rather have in my squad..

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Both handy back up players.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Mate they could be paying more for Horo than we are for Daniel Harrison and still only be paying half of his contract!

Happy to be proven wrong but.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I agree Poupou.

Makes you wonder why they just didn't keep Harrison for backup. He's cheaper and better. Stupid Manly lol.
