Wow imagine if they were the next version of the Stewart brothers. Imagine if they have to start calling Manly the family club..

 

[CAMBO]

I'd love to see us sign a gun centre(specialist) in the 20's in the near future.

As much as I'd love to see them play forever the reality of it is Killer and Skivvy aren't getting any younger.

Gutherson & Hiku not good enough for you??

Great players yes but not a specialist centre.
Both are fullbacks good for filling in yes but not a long term solution.

Greg Inglis is a fullback who has won Clive Churchill medals, origins and test matches at centre.

 

[Shoe1]

Hiku will be a centre

I thought he won his cliive churchill playing 5/8 not fullback in a team that cheated the salary cap.

Warriors fullback Kevin Locke is set to be Ben Barba's replacement at Canterbury next season, say Sin Bin's spies in New Zealand.

No big deal with that one.

My mail is Eagles are considering a high profile exit / release in coming offseason which allows cap space for Hoppa Jnr's return.

Snake or Kingdog :-/

 

[Sheikheagle]

Would have to be on big coin to free up for hoppa. So I would say DCE

 

[MadMarcus]

The use of the word "exit" makes it sound more like a possible retirement, so I would have to think it is one of the older players... Snake?

 

[Bearfax]

If that were possible and I'm very doubtful, surely it would have to be a player in a position Hopoate would fill or shuffle the backline to accommodate. Young Hopa isnt going to come across to play reserve grade. So whose position would he take, that's the question (and it aint wing)

 

[Sheikheagle]

Hoppa to centre, killer to 6 and Foz to 7

 

[Bearfax]

Hoppa to centre, killer to 6 and Foz to 7

Possible. And Hopa to 5/8 when Killer retires? Remember positions are going to have to be found for Gutherson, but then he's probably being held back for Snakes retirement

take this with a grain of salt because to be honest i cant see it happening...
Heard a worrying whisper from a former player at one of the bars at the ground last night, rumour has been around a few weeks that a high profile star is about to announce an early retirement once their club is done for the year, everyone had been pointing the finger at Gallen claiming his body is shot. He said he'd heard it from multiple people in the past week that Snake is weighing things up on his body and it doesn't look good. Reckons there is a coaching role on offer from the club on pretty similar coin to what the rest of his playing contract would be as a bit of an incentive to 'transition'.
I'm calling rubbish, but i guess if there is a chance of snagging hoppa jr back it might have a bit to it.

 

[HappilyManly]

Heard similar.

The body can only take so much punishment, and the retired Players can attest to many decades of rheumatism, arthritis and pain

 

[kingyfan]

The retirement will come on the back of ASADA's announcement after the grand final of the results of their investigation into the NRL.
