Manly after Pearce

[Downie]

"Me and Mitchell had a beer with a bloke who's a former sponsor of Manly before Mitchell attended his sister's 21st," Newton said.

Was Craig invited?

how is $200k for an untried rookie a bargain?

Parra tried him out quick smart when Manly signed him. Rookie no longer, so we now have a bargain.

Oh, and he needs to play 1st grade to get his full contract money.

Win/Win I say.

 

[El Diablo]

lol

Menzies was on $250k and Williams on $200k and he's a bargain

you're in a dream

 

[CharlieF]

Same goes for William Hopoate...hes getting $300K as a 17 yr old...he needs to perform big time

Just to get some perspective, Williams and Hoppa will be chewing up a massive 5% of our salary cap. I've liked what I have seen of Williams and Hoppa so far and think that they should be worth a hell of a lot more by the end of next year. We have them locked in at their price.

you've like what you've seen of Williams

he's been an epic failure

I said he needs to play 1st grade to get that full contract money. In other words if he doesn't perform, then it will cost no more than any other junior we have. If he does, its a bargain.

 

[El Diablo]

junior :?

what juniors does Manly have?

He looked pretty strong and athletic to me. Lets see if we can do with him what Parra couldn't.

They have them, don't worry.

 

[El Diablo]

who?

 

[CharlieF]

who?

Hopoate

 

[El Diablo]

and?

 

[CharlieF]

and?

You implied we had none. I busted the myth.

Good to see the great tradition of Parra rejects getting their callup to the OZ team when they have left for another club. I hope for your sanity, Tony Williams doesn't go onto represent anyone or anything.

 

[El Diablo]

Williams wasn't a reject and not all others are

good to see Manly still contributing nothing to the growth of the game

Well he's been a team with Hagan coaching it...another in a long line of epic failure's there.

Williams is still better than Carige, Kusto and 1,000 other Brian Smith disasters

well care to tell me how they are making a contribution when all they do is buy players from other clubs?

how many Manly juniors are playing first grade in the entire NRL?

You are kidding right.

Have a sneak peek at what they have started on the Sunshine Coast.
