Prepare for some news

[Cold Roses]

You've signed bodene Thompson, very under rated player

Yep. Confirmed

Good signing, still has his best years ahead of him IMO, can play prop if needed.

Did anyone think Manu seemed to play differently today in the test. Like he was playing prop & steamrolling the opposition on the edges? If we sign Beale then surely he'd be decent enough cover to move Manu to an impact prop off the bench? Two signings in one if it happens

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Manu had some terrible passes come his way that made him look bad, robbed a try.
But he just looked like Manu to me taking the second hit up on most kick returns.

 

[Izz]

Yep. Confirmed

Good signing.

However, i don't remember this being being part of the 'big news' :shock:

 

[Mixmasterreece]

This isn't a terrible signing.

But this wasn't part of the news?

 

[JJ]

No, a meh signing really, about break even with Bukuya leaving... Lion missed that hot news

And yes, FFS, Manu looked like Manu... a blockbusting winger who'll offer hit ups ad score tries at a very high rate... why does this discussion persist... Meninga never shifted despite being horribly exploited by Gould's teams at times, the team does not get better moving Manu from the wing... we'd just have another prop making a few high impact runs and having short spells... and be weaker on the flank for the most part

 

[Campion]

Bodene Thompson great signing. Not too phased about Bukuya leaving. Wasn't bad but wasn't blockbustering. Bodene Thompson is at least on par and has potential to be better.

 

[shiznit]

What about Eric Watson the drongo announcing that they signed Kieran Foran... :lol:

He later corrected that he's on the wish list but hasn't been signed... :lol:

 

[hitro]

Yeah what a dick, I read it retweeted and excitedly believed in it for a few minutes until his 'just jokes' came out
Ha ha really funny Eric

 

[ozbash]

you reckon ?

no smoke without fire... Forans manager has said "money hasnt been mentioned"

read into it what you will...

This just through from Keiran Foran's manager.... I take this as a great sign he's a contender to join the Warriors.

Keiran Foran's manager Paul Sutton insists the Manly five-eighth has NOT signed with @NZWarriors "haven't even spoken money"

 

[Izz]

I only accept news from Iron Lion. If it comes from anywhere else it must be false!

 

[Mixmasterreece]

I think Lion IS Watson

 

[Mixmasterreece]

So, rumour has it Manly will soon be announcing a new contract for Matai.

Scoreboards not looking good Lion

Perhaps it's all a code? Iron Lion = Iam Lying ?

 

[Iron Lion]

Guys, I have confirmation from a supreme source the Warriors offered Foran a contract so big that neither Manly or Bulldogs can match it $ wise.

I understand that it well in advance over the $1.5m per season.

If Foran signs with the Warriors it will make him the highest paid player in NRL history take that as fact!

Cool.

Can he bulk up a bit and play Prop?

Facts don't normally start with "if"... :crazy:

if true talk about OVERS.

How would Johnson feel about that??

also aren't the roosters chasing him?

It would be overs, of course, as Foran is a very good player but not worthy of the games biggest contract.

That being said, not sure what Johnson has to do with it, Foran >>>>> Johnson every day of the week, and even more on weekends
