Rumours and Stuff

Yep thought the same. Maybe it means that Fergo told Sam to get it done as he is no longer seeking overs.

Losing Sivo may also change the clubs plans….

I'm really glad to hear that. Especially if it's only one year, there's currently no one better on the market for 22. The off-contract players in 2023 are way better options:
Xavier Coates, Nick Cotric, Sosefo Fifita, David Fusitu'a, Reuben Garrick, Morgan Harper, Patrick Herbert, Thomas Jenkins, Sione Katoa, Greg Marzhew, Ken Maumalo, Jayden Okunbor, Jordan Rapana, Jason Saab, Xavier Savage, Bailey Simonsson, Maika Sivo, Corey Thompson, Brian To'o, Daniel Tupou

I’d be signing Garrick after giving Fergo one more year.

I'm 99% sure that Garrick re signed with the Sea Eagles till end 2023 but I can't source it so I won't say it.

I would say discussions commenced between Sam and the club about 30 mins after Sivo's prognosis was known.

And for one year it’s a good call. $350k tops.

Garrick, Saab or Savage would be my priorities.
2nd line would be Cotric and Simonsson.
(assuming you wouldn't consider re-signing Sivo from that list)

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Surely 1 year for Fergo would be to allow one of our own boys to develop. I thought Russell was highly rated.

I'd be going after Xavier Savage or Jason Saab out of the more realistic real speed machines on that list with many years of improvement in front of them.

I believe his future lies at fullback.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Agreed, but if we re sign Gutho then that could be 3 or 4 years away.. get him in on the wing to start with.

Didn't Savage just re-sign with Canberra? I'm sure he did.

Let’s hope we don’t have a brain fart re MJ. Multi year on good $$$. One year at a time is good for a 31 yo.

Is savage a winger thou, or fullback?

I like both Manly wingers. But think Garrick's a better around footballer.

that's how Gutho started with us and Russell certainly has the pace

I know his future will probably be FB or Centre but the sooner we get him in the team the better I reckon

 

[Rocket man]

I believe they've all signed with their current team.

 

[The Phelan Folly]

You aren't very bright, blah blah blah, are you folly?

Bright enough to not think im the smartest merkin in the conversation, motherf**ker.

I'd love some speed in our outside backs. Saab is absolute lightning and those sorts of blokes turn the half or quarter chance opportunities in to tries... Saab in the clear can go 90 metres in about 8 seconds... Sivo gets run down and calls for a trainer before reaching the halfway....
