Rumoured signings 2014 / 2015

[Sphagnum]

Sounds like more media bs. Don't believe the rumour, or the price.

 

[Craig Johnston]

Top work eels, most of the reported figures would include 3rd parties and be back ended, if he's being paid 1.2m at the end of his contract and he's the best in the game at that time then we've wrapped up an excellent deal

 

[Tommy Smith]

1.2 million a year for Foran is obscene.

He's not a great playmaker by any means. More of a quality all-round player and great leader.

I just can't see how Manly build a quality team around him - is he even a player you build a team around? - with the cap space they have left.

 

[betcats]

Good on em. Lots of money if that is the figure but theres no doubt he is quality. Manly its time to meet the bottom four.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Maybe Manly could attempt to do another simultaneous trade for Norman to fill the void :lol:

 

[Tommy Smith]

Souths probably re-signed Keary for 300k. Maloney would be on 350k at the Roosters. Same for Soward... maybe a little more.

And they're all arguably better attacking 5/8ths. And certainly much better value for money.

 

[Bman26]

As a Storm fan I'm not sure if I should be terrified or excited for Saturday now. These 2 announcements will either cause complete disharmony and melt down or bond them like crazy...

 

[DeeJ]

Manly will fall back on their feet and recruit a good half or develop another young one. Plus Brett Stewart is a very capable ballplayer - I think he will step up big time now that his skills are needed.

 

[Noname36]

Loyalty is dead...but for that money he'd be mad not to.

Parra generally always be able fill spots with cheap younger guys comin through, this will help them but it will be a fine balancing act getting the right players in place to take that step up to real contenders.

 

[Noname36]

That is obscene money by the way. Foran is the support act but not the main event.

 

[Bazal]

Meh. If that's even the correct figure a big chunk will be third party. We've had our issues back room and on field but one thing we've always been able to do is attract sponsors and third parties. I'll be over the moon if true but I won't believe it til he runs out in blue and gold

 

[betcats]

Any half -> Manly. Lol they f**ked this up royally, we have known for ages that their is a basketcase and now it has really cost them.

 

[shiznit]

Can you blame them?

The silvertails forum reported last August that foran and twatmough were openly saying in a Mona vale cafe that they were joining the eels.

Foran has delayed the announcement for months just to stuff manly around. He has lied to the club, the fans and his team mates.

He didn't even have the guts and integrity to tell Toovey before it was announced in the press.

low life over paid scum of a player.

Shut the f**k up clown....

Manly are full of shit.... Former CEO Graham Lowe told a room full of people a couple of weeks ago that the new hierarchy advised him that he committed to the Eels MONTHS AGO!!!

They asked him to hold off announcing it because they wanted to sort out a plan B... When in reality they were trying to get him to change his mind...

I mean FFS.... it was on the front page of the SMH a fortnight ago...

Manly are full of shit if they are claiming they were blindsided by this news...

And any Manly fans having a go at Foran for leaving are f**king geniuss...

 

[_snafu_]

I hope him well.

Sea Eagles have released a statement stating that no decision of the sort has been made

[TheFrog]

Soward is reputed to be on $450k. Foran worth almost three Sowie's? I don't think so. He's lucky to be worth one.

 

[H.H]

Souths probably re-signed Keary for 300k. Maloney would be on 350k at the Roosters. Same for Soward... maybe a little more.

And they're all arguably better attacking 5/8ths. And certainly much better value for money.

No arguing from where I sit...at least for Maloney and Keary.

Foran is a good player but that money is the biggest overs I have seen.

 

[shiznit]

Soward is reputed to be on $450k. Foran worth almost three Sowie's? I don't think so. He's lucky to be worth one.

:lol:

If Soward is on $450K then Foran is being underpaid.... Foran's worth 100 sowie's...

Soward is on 900K.

He signed a 4 year deal worth 3.6mil with the panthers
