2013 Manly new faces

[bennyeagle]

Kane lawton and horo a big yes, tonga not so much, id like to know how where signing all these players ! They must be bargain basement prices !

 

[patorick2010]

Minimum wage surely.

If not less.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Kite ?? Rose ??

I'm rapt getting Justin Horo. I couldn't believe parra left him out for much of the year. Then again, it is parra we're talking about!

Lawton seems a good pickup. Saw him only a few times at the Titans and i liked what i saw.

Not sure on Tonga yet. Just when he gets a few games, he either gets injured or dropped...usually because he was filling in for another player.

Our recruitment has been great for next year considering the limited cap space we had to play with.

These signings may also mean someone else is on the way out. We were in cap trouble (supposedly) up until 2 weeks or so ago. What has happened since?

A big pat on the back for all involved in the club.

Minimum wage surely.

If not less.

LOL.

Our NSW side last season was pretty ordinary. Sounds like a lot of last years NSW cup squad will be let go. Quite a few of the new signings are on one year deals so they will be playing for contracts/ their careers and by the look of it they could provide more options to cover first grade than we had this year.

 

[MWSE]

They are probably on 2nd tier contracts.

 

[BOZO]

Add Justin Horo and Esi Tonga from Parra and Kayne Lawton from the Titans to the list.

Nice

Our new faces will be parra's red faces

 

[RL Gronk]

Justin Horo was treated poorly by Kearney. The kid can play.

 

[eagles2win]

Did we get Horo's father as well?

Use to look after the Parra juniors (u16, u18 and u20s players) last I heard he was at Penrith.

 

[winnyason]

A lot of 2nd tier signing, my guess toovs hoping to put pressure and competition for bench spots, horo a really good signing will put pressure on buhrer. Esi tonga don't know about, seems a drifter. The top 13, seems concrete bar wolfy injury comeback and jorge's punishment from nrl. The bench is where there is a lot of variables I would love to see Liam foran used as utility.

Have always rated him highly can't for the life of me work out why he didnt get a run with the eels last year.

 

[Shoe1]

They are probably on 2nd tier contracts.

Titans in cap trouble, parra freeing up money for folau, so I bet part of their contracts are being covered by their former clubs, which makes it easy for us to sign them.

 

[lsz]

Is his old man Mark Horo? Who played with a broken leg???

 

[winnyason]

you would think eels are paying some of there contracts given our supposed salary cap problems.

 

[master blaster]

Is his old man Mark Horo? Who played with a broken leg???

yeah he is Isz,he is here at Penrith now,a real top bloke

 

[Eaglette Fan]

No doubt Brad Arthur would have had an influence in recruiting Tonga and Horo from his former club.

 

[lsz]

Thought so - he was a pretty handy player in his time

 

[Dan]

horo is a good signing IMO especially once Donny gets a hold of him

 

[MK Eagle]

Far from elite bracket but Horo is definality a quality Nrl standard & caused grief whenever against us in recent times. Tackles hard & can make a bust on the edges as is a backrower/centre with decent pace. Rate him ahead of Fa'aso to make the top 17, the signings are brilliant imo & Esi Tonga may be a better prospect than some give credit. Lets face it, he has been at a dysfunctional Parramatta & very few rookies would shine at that environment. Shows good pace & finishing ability.
