    DCE 2 more years and coaching gig

    Yeah and its a void argument. We don't know anyones value in 2 years. Same goes with Turbo, if he misses 2 more years with hammy issues then that could end his career but I guarantee people will still be taking the risk signing him long term!!! Using your logic NO club should sign a player...

    Latu Fainu is 16! Even when Chez retires age 36 he would still only be 20. Or are you saying he should be our halfback when he is 18? I wouldn't be surprised to see the DCE extension as part of our long term succession plan but Fainu is still a few years away yet. Say we don't extend Chez, we...

    Only time will tell I guess but its a bit like the house prices at the moment. Its a supply and demand issue... There is bugger all good halves out there so why would we let ours go? Maybe the 1 mil is in the high end for his last contract but it was just a ballpark figure but I still don't...

    So every club should just sign players to 1 or 2 year contracts? Cos after all we don't know what form they'll be in or what injuries they'll have in the future. The he will be too old argument is flawed in so many ways! We probably shouldn't sign Turbo up long term either, after all he has...

    Leilua and Papalii are asking for 700k. Lodge on more than that. Ben Hunt 1 mil. Townsend nearly 700k. Chez is worth more than them. You are worth what someone is willing to pay. Only time will tell I guess.

    So what is a reasonable price for Chez's extension? Its all speculation about him signing for the same money. My bet is it would have to be a reduced contract and at 1 mil a season for our and QLD Captain in this current climate is a good signing even if he is to be 36 by the end of it. Same...

    The point being that we can't afford to wait. If Dolphins offer big money and we lost Chez, we could be left with nobody and that would be a disaster. Yes we'd have some coin to spend but there is not really anything of quality worth signing in the halves. We'd end up with Norman or Brooks or a...

    In response. 1. Apparently it was Manly who went to Chez not the other way around. If we lost Chez who would we go and sign??? 2. Other than Reynolds, Cleary and Munster who would you want in our halves? Reynolds is at Brisbane long term, put a line through Cleary and Munster will be at Storm...

    An additional 2 years apparently. I also highly doubt it would still be on his current salary. Chez is as fit as anyone that has ever played the game, he would be 36 but the elite can keep playing at that age. Maybe he's a late bloomer haha

    Manly in talks to extend Chez a further 2 years and offer him an assistant coach gig beyond that, with a view to possibly taking over as main coach in the long term.

    Fletcher Myers (young fullback/centre)

    Weekes is not in the same class.

    Fletcher Myers (young fullback/centre)

    He's only 18 so very well could be a development contract but I believe we do still have 1 or 2 places available in our top squad? Reading up about him, he seems a genuine star. From all reports he is a genuine fullback but can also play centre, that is exactly what we need! Exciting having guys...

    Staff change at Manly

    Matt Ballin also moved on. Not sure if this was already mentioned.

    Fletcher Myers (young fullback/centre)

    Sea Eagles, Knights fight over boom rookie Manly and Newcastle are involved in a tug of war over a talented 18-year-old outside back. Fletcher Myers, a flyer who is equally at home at fullback or centre, is contracted to the Knights for next season but has asked for a release to join the Sea...

    Brookvale Centre of excellence

    New South Wales state premier Dominic Perrottet has confirmed he will push support for suburban grounds over big stadiums. It has been something of a controversial issue in NRL circles, with the government previously committing to redevelopments of both the Sydney Football Stadium and Stadium...

    Does Manly pack have enough Mongrel ?

    100% just watch the grand final again and look at the difference it makes when your outside backs get you out of trouble. If the sets gets off to a bad start then your are pretty much screwed for the entire set and this is just repeated time and time again!

    Off contract players - back up FB?

    Funny story... when I was playing U18 Raiders we got fines for being late or missing training gear etc. At the end of the year you had to either pay the fines or do a nudie run around the oval after training with all grades and parents watching from the carpark. Needless to say my fines were too...

    Weekes - need's Blacktown ASAP

    I hope he does make it, I'm not sure it'll be next year but he has speed and ball playing ability so hopefully he uses his skills and gets himself a first grade gig

    The squad takes shape

    I've said before unless Fainu is cleared we can't afford to lose Cust. If Croker goes down and we don't have Cust, we are royally screwed. It means we would have Lawton as our only option, that's just stupidity! Look what happened to Eels when they lost Mahoney! You need depth in this position...

    Off contract players - back up FB?

    A centre that can play fullback. Garrick is solid at fullback but has ZERO ball playing skills which is a necessity in the modern game! He will run 300m a game and try his guts out but he will miss 2 try scoring opportunities by not being able to set up the outside men. I also think with...
