Shane Rodney Gone

[murraymob]

i can assure you orford and lyons and on back loading contracts meaning each year there contracts are increasing by a considerable amount .This was confirmed by the manly ceo when he stated they would not be able to buy Carney for 2010 due to back loaded contracts they have.


On Rodney if manly can keep him on the field he is a great buy .I rate him highly and will be close to the buy of the season if he stays injury free.I wish Rodney all the best and hope he goes well there

Now where was it that I read Orford and Kite would be taking up around 1 million of the Sea Eagles cap due to back end weighted contracts next year?

Kite's was frontloaded when we were heaps under the cap. Orford big pay was this year and 2009 is a lot lower. Rodney's is backended.

Elsewhere, Penrith are set to lose the fifth member of their 2003 premiership-winning side in the space of months, with back-rower Shane Rodney close to signing with Manly.
The Sea Eagles have offered Rodney a four-year deal - remarkable considering he has played just 16 matches in the past three seasons due to shoulder and neck problems.

Rodney attracted interest from the Bulldogs and St George Illawarra, who both offered three-year deals, but the extra season has swayed the 25-year-old. The deal is believed to be heavily back-ended, with Rodney earning most of his money in the third and fourth years.

The Panthers have already lost the vast majority of players from the 2003 side, which defeated the Roosters in the grand final. This year, fullback Rhys Wesser has signed with South Sydney, winger Luke Rooney with French rugby union side Toulon, front-rower Tony Puletua with St Helens and hooker Luke Priddis with St George Illawarra. Next season, only Trent Waterhouse and Luke Lewis, who almost quit the club this season after agreeing to join the Rabbitohs, will remain from the grand final squad.

Rodney's decision would be another blow to the Bulldogs, who had hoped he would fill a back-row spot vacated by Sonny Bill Williams. The club has already missed out on Brisbane's State of Origin winger Darius Boyd, who will join the Dragons, since Williams fled the club for Toulon.
The future of Penrith forward Frank Pritchard remains up in the air even though Panthers officials yesterday attempted to draw a line through the ongoing controversy surrounding their star player. The Penrith board met yesterday, with chief executive Mick Leary saying claims Pritchard feigned injury so he could avoid returning to the field against premiers Melbourne on Monday night and persistent rumours that he wanted a release were not brought up.
"The matter, as far as we're considered, is closed and we'll move on," Leary said.

Kite signed a new contract last year. What about Lyon $400,000+, Stewart , Stewart, Perry , Matia , Watnough, Bailey, Williams,Williams,etc.

What about it?? We can't help it if your management is sh*t. Menzies, Bryant, Bell and Afamasaga are gone, replaced by Bailey, Williams and Rodney.

 

[bigfoot]

Sad to see Rodney go.
If he can remain injury free I think he could go really well with the Sea Eagles.

:lol::lol::lol:

Losses- Menzies, Bell, Bryant, Williamson, Afamasaga

2 on good to very good money (200k+), 3 on the average scale probably (150k).

Also on top of that, Vaealikis stint earlier in the year would have cost something as well

Gains- Williams, Bailey, Rodney, Hodkinson

All on the average scale probably

As much as i hate the silvertails for what they did in the 1970's and scarred me for life. I don't actually think they are rortingas much as everyone thinks.

No, rather I think there ability to continually recruit quality players just shows how useless our management is.

Good for them I say. I still hate them.

Manly did it in the 80's. I loved Parramatta in the 80's. They were a very close 2nd for me. I am a die hard Panther now, but if this board doesn't do something about Elliott and the selection process, I'm going to start following the Sydney Swans.

 

[Roland]

Peter Lewis: left end of 2003(?) - Parramatta - seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth
David McLean: retired end of 2005

Lewis is playing for Emu Plains in the Grand Final at CUA tomorrow.

McLean is captain coach of Berkeley in the Illawarra comp.

I remember when Orford signed, his contacted started with 220k, 2nd year 330k, 3rd 520k and 4th 600+k. Kite was on 400k a season so this year alone Orford and Kite are on 920k. Nearly 1/4 of the cap. Next year combined they will be over 1mil combined. They lose Menzies but he only signed for peanuts this season.

There it is. Obviously not gods word but anyway.
I don't mind Manly, I was too young to get the whole silvertail thing, just despise the Roosters and Eels. To a lesser degree Melbourne (wanker fans), Brisbane (used to live there eww).

Only just got online today work is killing me.

All I can say is

f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k

He'll play Origin next year, I f**king hate you Penrith.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Rodney's deal is back-ended and due to his injuries wanted a four year deal over a three year one.

He would have costs a pittance for a 1st grade quality player who should be never more than a back-up with Choko, Stewy2, Williams, Cuthbo, Hall, in the side. May jag a bench spot if injuries hit.

 

[Munky]

Cliify if the bloke hits form he will be the first person chosen on the team sheet.

Even when out Muppet international second rowers were playing like crap in 05/06 Rodney was giving it his all.

If he remains fit you'll have yourself Steve Menzies mkII

 

[Fibroman]

Rodney should have been starting in front of Smith since his return from injury IMO.

He will do better at Manly because he will have better players and coaching staff around him.
I dont rate him that much but i would love to see him stay at the club.

 

[murraymob]

[pantherlove]

I suggested in another thread that Elliott should play all the blokes that are leaving the club.
