Rumoured Targets 3

[Loose Cannon]

If Mann is in the team sheet at all it`s the 100% proof that O`Brien is both clueless & has a deathwish as far as his coaching career is concerned!

I’d like to suggest it’s only the latter which has yet to be proven, although he has certainly given indications that it may well be the case.

 

[Zoidberg]

There was a Fox league post on FB yesterday with our “best possible team” for this year.
Seeing comments about how “Mann is wasted on the bench” and he “should play fullback” really confuses me.
Then I remember, it’s Facebook, and people have no idea what they are talking about.

According to Buzz, Sharks have agreed to release Lachie Miller and we've signed him to a 3 year deal

If Miller fires then Pryce will be our 14 next season surely. Best place for him to start his NRL career if we can manage it.

 

[Yosh]

Hopefully we see the last of Mann then.

It's a good discussion of what is Young's worth to us. Going to be tough to hold onto him I think.

He's worth probably $400k this year and if he keeps improving probably up $100k each year for the next 2. If clubs want to throw +$650 at him then good on them

 

[Old dog]

The Miller signing has dragged on but appears to be nearly finalised, not sure I like or not but will accept it, would have preferred it happened earlier.
Was kinda looking forward to Gagai having a run at F/b but could still happens, injuries/form

 

[Old dog]

On Young pay him what he is worth, was the brightest light for 2022.
If he is worth $400k then up this years contract to that if he will sign for further 2-3 yrs otherwise leave him on current amount but keep him for this season, let him/manager do the maths

 

[Spot On]

Give him Gagai’s money at least ffs.

What is this club thinking?

 

[Apey]

We can't overpay him but it'd also be very Knights to lowball one of the only good players at our club.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Hate to say it but I don't reckon we'll be able to keep him.

In saying that though, I don't want us over paying him for one good season either...

 

[perverse]

There's only 2 scenarios I feel can play out really. He'll either go somewhere else for similar money that we offer, or we'll pay overs to keep him. Neither will make any of us happy, and it will keep us all grounded and remembering who we support for another 5 minutes.

There's little chance of what we actually need to get better happening - him staying for less than or equal to his market rate to help us build a better squad.

always amazing that the “big” clubs can always find the money to take anyone at a smaller club who shows promise.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Mann needs to look elsewhere. I hope we don't play him at lock but that's likely.

Amazing what type of house a player on ‘300k a year’ can buy in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.

 

[Jono078]

My only hope is he was integral in getting the other 2 English lads here for next season.

But like Spot On said, just give him Gagai's money. Dom may eventually turn into a great centre too.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Toohey still reckons Mann will be 14.

Depends how much overs we would end up paying him. We're almost always going to have to pay overs. As long as it's not Klemmer, Frizell or Pearce tier overs I'd be okay taking a gamble on him.

But that's partly because this club depresses me and Dom is one of our only players I look forward to watching on an individual level.

 

[Spot On]

The kid has improved out of sight when most have gone backwards. He’s our best back. He has a crack every week.

Give him the money. We should have plenty.
