[lodown]

Found this on the main forum. Some interesting points if true.

Manly Sea Eagles:

Gains: Ashley Alberts (Broncos\Clydesdales) 2yrs, Brent Kite (Dragons) 4yrs, Ben Kennedy (Knights) (2yrs), Adam Luchetti (Wests Wollongong), Matthew Hurst (Wagga Wagga, 3yrs)

Rumoured Gains: Terry Hill (Retirement), Aaron Moule, Matt Rieck, Ben Harris (Bulldogs)

Losses: Kevin McGunniess (Salford, UK, Mid-season), Ian Donnelly (Storm, 2yrs), Dallas Reenie (Released), Mitch Creary (Back to Union), Jarrod Heaney (rugby union), Nathan Hollingsworth (Released), Craig Hayne (Released), Albert Torrens (Dragons)

Rumoured Losses: Nick Bradley-Qalilwa (Released), Nathan Tutt
(Released), Nick Patterson (Released)

Re-signed: Scott Donald (2yrs), John Hopoate (1yr), Luke Williamson (2yrs), Glen Stewart (3yrs), Brett Stewart (3yrs), Steve Menzies (2yrs), Sam Harris (3yrs), Anthony Watmough (3yrs)

Off contract: Kylie Leuluai, Nick Bradley-Qalilwa, Nathan Tutt, Nick Patterson, Mark Lennon

Ben Harris: Would be a great pick up if we signed him, I didn't realise he was off contract or we were in talks with him.

NBQ: I dont think much of him, but we are struggling for wingers and centers, i thought that they would have hung onto him.

Kylie Leuluai: Easily our best front rower over the last few weeks, I would be very suprised and dissapointed if they didn't resign him.

I reckon Toshak in Premier League is better than NBQ, and we've got a couple of centres coming, so I spose that's the reason we're letting him go. But I can see your point, if he's cheap, he's better than nothing!

 

[RainMan]

Ashley Alberts has asked for and been granted a release from his contract due to the nature of his shoulder injury. Damn shame but lets hope some of those rumoured gains(especially in bold and not Terry Hill) come true.

Leaulai is a misprint, he will definitely be at Manly for next year.

NBQ has been offered a contract for next year, his will decide within the next few days.

[The Whippet]

Anyone heard anything about former Eels hooker Daniel Irvine talking or signing wiht Manly?

 

[Mayor_Quimby]

Mitch Creary has signed a 1 year deal. He isn't going back to union!

 

[The Whippet]

Just got news is Daniel Irvine has signed with Manly.

 

[Wobbygong]

Why was Alberts released?

Didn't you just sign him, he was supposed to be the real deal according to Blocker.

 

[fish]

He asked for a release as he done his shoulder in QLD cup.Seems that he is weighing up his options as to whether he wants to play footy for a living.Better now I say before he received any money.

 

[Preniers]

I had already heard about Harris but I was under the belief the deal would be ready by Rd 26, also has Kent been snapped up yet?

[lodown]

Hasn't he got a history of getting out of his contracts? I thought he did that to the Cowboys

Yep. All the talent...None of the heart I'd say! A damn shame.

 

[Mayor_Quimby]

We signed Aaron Moule to a 2 year deal!

 

[wittyz chick]

Is there any truth to the rumour that you signed Robbie Witt (younger brother of Michael and Steve)?

 

[groggo]
