2013 Rumoured and confirmed signings.

[Clint]

Incredible accounting!

when you look at their roster, the highest paid would be TRex, probably around $600,000,

Money well spent :s

 

[eelcatcher]

No one is surprised if the Dogs are interested in Hayne especially when they have no salary cap. Anyway more on the Eels misery. New signing Gareth Hock pulled out of his deal to Join up with the Eels due to family reasons. Probably true, but also likely that he doesn't want to commit career suicide.

Rumour in the RLW Dogs chasing Hayne for 2014.

Hayne was just on FoxSports News saying he has not been approached and is staying at Parra.

That confirms it.

Hayne an Dog in 2014.

An dog? Not a Eel?

 

[mickqld]

Well it's pretty obvious that Barba is goonneee. The amusing part is that the Dogs keep missing out on these high profile players they keep chasing. Maybe it's because most view the Dogs club as a poisonous scumhole.

I always thought he'd look good in an Roosters jersey.

Nice.

 

[Blowfly]

That's funny! Isn't Hayne under contract & wouldn't cost much less than around $700,000 a season.

How on earth do they stay invisible to cap auditors?

They've bought a team from other clubs players, paid overs to get them & given upgrades yet everything is sweet to chase one of the games elite fullbacks!

Incredible accounting!

I supposed they're resigned to losing Barba, when you look at their roster, the highest paid would be TRex, probably around $600,000, but the rest would not be on that much, probably no one else is on more than $300,000-350,000.

A host of their players would be on more than $350,000.

Barba, Morris, Reynolds, Hodkinson signed from Manly for $370,000per season, Eastwood, Pritchard from Penrith for $400,000, Williams, Graham, Ennis, Kasiano.

All signed on overs or upgraded to more than!

Sorry but I'll NEVER be convinced they're under the cap.

 

[Guzzler]

Yep we want Hayne then Slater then Stewart and yes we are over the cap as its unlimited.

Ah, yes. But they always have political clout with the NRL.
Now, even more so with that Greenbug.
Dogs will be untouchable. They can't do no wrong. You'll see.

Pretty sure they would be asking how can we afford to pay our almost complete rep team

Face facts with the way deals are structed these days (back ending, third party deals etc) it is not as simple as speculating x player is on this much

Look at our team and how much of the cap dce , foz, Brett, Glenn and Jamie must be taking up. How do we then keep Steve m? Matty b? Kingy etc?

Oh sorry I forgot it is all a conspiracy by the dogs etc

 

[eaglebuzz]

Yeah given that our entire run on squad is made up of former rep players, current rep players or rep players in waiting I don't think we really have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to complaining about other teams. Sure we're not out signing any really big stars at the moment but that's because our team is outstanding as it is!

Actually EB I would suggest that Manly arent chasing big stars at the moment because they have learnt from Melbourne's policy to get you potential stars when they are very young and unknown so you can outlay much less money to start, train them to suit the style of play Manly are looking for and create a sense of loyalty so that when contract time comes up they prefer to stay and only go if the money offered to go elsewhere is well beyond what Manly is offered (eg Hopoate, Tony Williams, Hodginson).

Manly hasnt bought a marquee player since Lyon about half a decade ago. They did get Orford, but he was coming back to the fold. Manly obviously have realised that the best way to stay in the eight consistently is to avoid paying big bucks for marquee players unless absolutely necessary, and instead rely on a constant flow of talented well coached and well integrated youngsters

Marquee players are paid overs, Manly and the Storm have the knack of buying players that have struggled at other clubs.
Both clubs would have a long list of players that have gone to bigger things.
Just name a few Robbie Kearns, Jaiman Lowe, Bryan Norrie, Todd Lowrie, Ryan Hinchcliffe, Shane Rodney, Heath L'Estrange, Glenn Hall, George Rose, Mark Bryant, Michael Robertson.

 

[Bearfax]

Both clubs also have a knack of identifying youngsters who are likely to come good. For Manly just in the past decade they picked up juniors like Brett and Glenn Stewart, Wolfman, Taufua, Matai, Foran, Ballin, Cherry-Evans, Buhrer, Tony Williams, Hodkinson, Whare, Warea-Hargraves etc. And those to supplement local kids like Hopoate, Lussick, Oldfield, Trbojevic and Gutherson, with others brought in like Sao, Chee-Kam, Hiku also soon to make their mark. We lose quite a few because other clubs are prepared to pay bigger bucks for them, but we generally (except perhaps Hopoate and Warea- Hargraves) hold onto the cream.

Our friends at the doggies are now looking Kurtley Beale lol

We are also looking at bringing back Mick Potter as fullback when he gets the arse from the Tigers.

 

[manlyfan76]

[globaleagle]

You're right. They're not our friends. Except for Guzzler.
