YES!!! the reliable source!!

Just been told that Manly's offer to Tahu is about 340K a year! that being the case it will take a brave man to knock our offer back.

 

[Y2Eel]

crikey then we must be pushing close to 400k a year then

 

[Pazza]

He better score tons of trys, run the water and work in admin at parra leagues in his free time.

 

[The Colonel]

How much of their offer like ours could be a "sign-on fee" as incentive?

 

[thedux]

The only hiccup could be timing as Manly have given Monaghan a deadline of today; if he says no then Manly will no doubt up their offer to Tahu which might see us miss them both because the roosters and raiders are still in the picture for Monaghan.

 

[AlexTheEel]

I think Monaghan will sign with Manly. I have heard that Manly will be making an announcement in the morning.

 

[JessEel]

is that the canberra monaghan, or the one that is at manly now?

 

[True EEL]

Michael Monoghan is at Manly now and hopefully Joel will be soon too

meaning we will hopefully get Tahu

There are so many conflicing stories going around re Tahu & Monaghan.

I was told about a week ago that the Roosters were going to swoop on Roberts, Donald & Monaghan. Tahu apparently signed a letter of intent with Manly weeks before June 30 (doesn't mean he signed a contract but basically made an agreemet to sign one at a future date).

I don't believe Monaghan will go to Manly as I don't see what he has to gain by doing so. Manly are a big gamble. They've signed 2 quality players in Kennedy & Kite but is that suddenly going to transform them from wooden spooners to premiership contenders? I think not. Whilst Canberra on the other hand are currently in the top 8 and playing good footy. Monaghan has already been selected for City-Country playing for Canberra so what does he have to gain by going to Manly? I think not alot to be honest. For mine, Monaghan will either stay in Canberra (loyalty & family factor) or go to the Roosters for a serious shot at a title & a Blues jersey.

As for Tahu, who knows what's going on and what money is really being offered. Watch this space I guess.
