I'm not concerned about the NRL 'propping up' the Titans bid. They have to operate under the Salary Cap as well. If they want to commit even more money to one player - good on them.
Foran apparently going to Parramatta will be the thing that hurts our bid for DCE more. No way do Manly want to lose both DCE and Foran. If they did, it would almost make them certainties to be towards the bottom of the table in 2016.
I'm not concerned if we miss out on DCE. We put in a good pitch to him. If he doesn't take it, let's move on. Hodkinson is apparently another option - he would be tough to shift from the Dogs, but I think he could be quite good at the Sharks.
