Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Crap IX

[The Elephant In The room]

wow - wonder if Manly Fans will finally understand our hate for the bloke now....

CHAMPION centre Jamie Lyon wants out from the Manly Sea Eagles.
The Telegraph can reveal Lyon has agreed in principle to a four-year deal with the Gold Coast Titans.

He verbally agreed to the $2 million deal yesterday.

Lyon is due to meet Manly management today to seek an immediate release from the final year of his contract at Brookvale.

A Gold Coast source told the Daily Telegraph: ?Jamie has agreed ? he just needs the release from Manly.

If Lyon is allowed to go, it will ease massive salary cap pressure at the club.

Given the NRL were significantly increasing the salary cap for 2013 (dont think it was formally announced yet though) why would any side have salary cap pressures for this year. I just don't what's in it for Manly to release Lyon for this year.. That said, bahahahahah. I just wish Lyon had stuck around just long enough for Manly to lose Stewart before asking for his release.

A leopard never changes his spots. Still a grubby piece of shit Merkin.

Freeing up cash for Hoppa I reckon

I assume that we have a contract. Hoppa has two choices, stay on his bike or play for Parra.

 

[El Diablo]

Contract wouldn't be registered with the NRL till after round 12 or something

I think it would be easy to get out of

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Bloody hope they don't go for Hoppa.

Bloody hope they don't go for Hoppa.

Releasing Lyon and signing his bro makes it look like that's what will happen

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The contract is already registered. He's already appeared in Eels colours, and he's undertaking a training program overseen by Eels staff.

He's obviously already contracted to the club.

But what about if his contract is already registered because it started in 2011?

Judas is already contracted to a club too.

[parra-matters]

Manly have already said No to Lyon anyway, case closed.

Difference is that Lewis had a "current club". The only current club that Hoppa could have is Parra, and if they are paying him as generally accepted, it probably means that the contract has already been registered by the NRL. The Eels being up front and honest after all.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

With what we are reportedly going to/are paying Will, surely Manly can't match that. More chance of it happening if Hasler was still there IMO.

Doubt it aren't manly over the cap for next season by a lot it was in the papers last year about no being able to keep the crossed eyed snake unless they offload players

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Judas is already contracted to a club too.

And he can't play for anyone else unless Manly say so.

Waddell would be a decent pick up on a coke and pie deal if there was a spot left in the squad. Has experience, is still young and has some potential plus we only have two hookers in the squad.

Waddell is rubbish. He'd be behind Keating and Smith, and thats saying something. No good buying crap players, even if they come cheap unless we want a repeat of the Webb, Walker, Hicks fiasco.

I see Carney has knocked back the 3 year deal put forward by the Sharks. Anyone else worried that Sticky with sell the farm to get Carney on board? Good player, on his day, but we already have enough "one their day" players. If we are going to splash major coin, it needs to be on a consistant top-liner IMO.
