Rumor Mill

On top of that Manly's chairman/owner/whatever said that he would consider releasing green if he got a good long term offer.

Now....about dem forwards

I'm not that confident that Blake Green will be here next year.

BUT let's just wait another month and then judge the signings as a package.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Wait a month to speculate, pre-judge and assign blame?

Does not compute.

I don't think we'll get Green unless dominos fall and the Sea Eagles pounce on Moylan - a scenario I also find unlikely.

 

[JJ]

Blair, Beale, Hiku, Harris and Pulu so far.

It's not all bad mate.

They're trying very hard.

Harris is a very good player but of course his role with us will be more complex. The rest are fringe first graders IMO including Blair

But yes I understand they're trying hard, of course it's their (well paid) job to try hard and they're for the most part the same people that shit the bed making us the most unattractive NRL option for all and sundry

I really hope it works out but it all seems more of the same to me

Many teams have shown that fringe first graders with the right attitude (and it's the attitude that's the key) can make it team pretty competitive. Providing they're here to rip in I'm ok with it so far

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Our most successful teams were built on fringe first graders who were less established than the ones we've signed next year.

Happy we're making some progress.

Couple more and it would be a great haul imo.

 

[JJ]

Agree with you both but I'll never be sold on Blair

That's it aye, there needs to be a couple more.

Hikus release has been granted today FYI. He's coming.

 

[Leber]

Has allwood resigned? I assumed with 2 backline signings, he will go.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Been trying to get rid of Allwood for awhile. Pretty sure he was farewelled at our last home game. Definitely not staying.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

I read somewhere Allwood was signed by Elliott for about 250k a year

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Wasn't Allwood a Cappy signing due to his previous time at Canberra?

200k is what I read but somewhere around there sounds about right.

 

[BLN2]

Yup cappys first recruit, cute eh..

Would say Hiku would take that contract, very nice upgrade. Beale would be on what you think, 300k? Probably half of Manu's contract.

 

[Leber]

Lol at 250k. His eyes must have lit up when he saw that contract.

I reckon we need two more props and a five eighth in order to complete our recruitment. But I bet we will just sign whatever kiwi wants to come here, regardless of position.

 

[Penrose_11]

Who knows if Jeremy Latimore ever washes back up at the warriors, but he's not the prop I'm talking about here.

If they sign this one, there's a lot to like.Conversely, there may be a lot people dont like about it. But as with most signings you're not going to please everyone, so who knows how people will react if they sign him.

I mean even if we'd signed James Graham, some people would of said he's told old, too inury prone etc.

I see Greg Birds in the market to find himself an NRL team

 

[Leber]

Whose the guy you are talking about mix?

 

[Diesel]

Sounds like Gallen, when Mix mentions controversy

 

[Diesel]

Now Manly have dropped out, could we expect to hear about Green sooner?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

At a guess probably not. I think a lot would have to happen for Green to get released, it's not simply about him being released because we're offering him a longer term deal. Manly will want their bases covered too.

 

[Leber]

ESL apparently. Just had a look at the Aussie/kiwi ESL props that are off contract.

James Hasson, Ashton sims, Lama tasi, Mitchell allgood, Jack Buchanan.

Not many.​

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Dale Budge has been saying that the prop we're interested in is NRL based and under contract next year so unless he's got his wires crossed we might have to widen our speculation net a little.
