Ronnie Palmer to Manly according to the Mole. Please be true!
Reports are it is us and Manly after Sam Moa.
We are clearing space in the cap whilst Manly are signing everything that walks.
Hopefully we can secure him. Would compliment our forwards perfectly.

Gus said Tuesday that he was "Hoping for a few signings" that he was working on Wednesday.
I'm assuming it may be someone involved in Under 20's origin.
But we'll see if it comes to fruition.
Isn't the cap exhausted?
Api leaving would of freed up a bit extra
And if the rumours of sika moving on are true, there's a bit more space.
No it wouldn't. Already factored in. He was off contract.
Ok, thanks for clarifying mate. Wasn't aware of that.
The young half we are after is apparently Te Maire Martin the young Tigers half who has huge raps on him.
Good swap I reckon...Api for him and Dockar-Clay and re-signing Katoa....Would be setting up a nice spine for the future.
Brent Reid had his mail segment on Triple M and said that Penrith had signed Martin for next season.
Te Maire turned in a stellar debut NYC season in 2014, playing in all 26 matches for Wests Tigers before being eliminated in the semi-finals.
An exciting playmaker with good speed and vision, Te Maire was named in the Holden Cup team of the Year and was a standout for the Junior Kiwis in the end of season fixture against the Junior Kangaroos where he kicked the winning field goal.
Partnering Eli Levido for most of last season in the halves, the Keebra Park High School product controlled the left edge well which is shown through the high amount of tries from players on that side (Lamar Liolevave 10 tries, Watson Heleta 21 tries and John Ogden 23 tries).
The Turangawaewae junior will no doubt be putting pressure on the NRL starting halves in 2015 as he pushes for an NRL debut.

Given the size of our junior nursery,you'd think we would have talented 1/2 backs dropping out of the trees.
But obviously this Martin has talent to burn.
