If we have a few $$$ left for Pearce, if we miss out on him, might be worthwhile trying to get Elgey or Lamb to the club

I wouldnt have Elgey if he was free and Lamb is no better than Pissflap’s son.

Im not even convinced that a half/pivit is needed. Depends on the team structure PF has in mind

Scenarios

1. Pippi, 6. Mythlan leave a wing spot vacant. Possibly Ramen noodle (is he even re-signed)

1. Mythlan, 2. Pippi means a half is needed

1. Duges, 2. Pippi, 6. Mythlan means a centre is needed. I dont see Noodle as a centre yet.

Then PF has to play with the notion of switching all the centres/wingers aroind given that Duges has proved he can supply good service left or right no matter which bum is oitside him

Raimen is under contract and back at training. Looks ripped as.

Also the longer this drags out the more I think we will get Pearce. Look how quickly we did Moylan when the Panthers let him go. If Manly had a deal to do it would be done.

I think the knights might get him.

They have a ridiculous amount of $ to spend to get up to 95% Of salary cap.

They’d be offering way more than us or eagles. Money talks + they have potential this coming season, so losing every week is no longer a likelihood going to the knights.

From Weidler in the SMH..

Going into the process, he had a soft spot for Manly. He is very tight with coach Trent Barrett. He likes the Manly spine and has respect for DCE and the Trbojevic brothers.

The concern is Manly can offer only half the money Pearce could earn at Cronulla in season one and nothing like the Knights' cash.

Manly also have issues with third-party payments and would need to lose players to squeeze Pearce under the salary cap. It is believed Darcy Lussick is being shopped around. Barrett is their trump.

The longer it goes on, however, the more Manly are at risk of losing out. Cronulla are a real consideration. They have a star-studded side, ruthless forwards and enough cash.

Wish Ennis was still around

Despite being bagged for years in here, and elsewhere, about saying we were soft and needed dickheads in the club to win seems a title has made people see that as usual, I was right.

No dickhead policies are for born agains and losers.

Sharks were $17 with the Tab a few weeks ago to win 2018:
$15 last week,$13 today.
Is it a reaction to Holmes/Dugan over the last couple of weeks or is there a significant signing happening?
Strange for a betting movement like that this time of the year.

If Pearce is happy to play for peanuts for the first couple of years at Manly then they have their man.

I think this is a major factor as to why Pearce has held off. He can play for big coin at the Knights but has told everyone he doesn't want to leave Sydney.

This is where we have played our cards right. We have the coin, cap space and we are in Sydney.

We are fighting hard for his signature and Flano is sure he will get his man.

Trouble is Lyall is also fighting hard for his signature and is sure he will get his man.

Who wins?
