2026 recruitment & retention

A forward or 2 from Qld hey.
The obvious go to forwards include Mooney and Fermor....how Klemmer is even mentioned can't be correct.....there is still interest in a player on 2 (forwards) from Qld clubs which hopefully heats up come November, but the way things are going at Manly, it's like joining a circus
Value and Trust ur words. Picking up what Ur putting down.There's actually a lessor known name in the list of possibles your suggesting who I've even gone out of my way and contacted the club asking they take a look at, but even he doesn't move no goal posts, and the rest um, I think our club is barking up the wrong trees. Like you say Fermor and Mooney are they types we would want the club looking at. Im actually saddened by the link to Qld clubs especially if in the Middle.

There is money for upgrades outside of relying on Aloiai, there are certain players the club are waiting for, but aside from that factor.....Fermor and Mooney are the types you would want the club looking at in terms of good quality options.
Well. Guess we are waiting then. Good to know we are going to throw our hat in the ring for a top liner as opposed to beating around the bush.
 
Adan Doueihi is a must 27, 6-3in, 100kg and can cover any position on the field. Been offered $350k what a joke, I reckon he's worth around $450-$550k for 2yrs.

Tigers have offered him the same as he is on now. Had 3 x ACL'S on the same knee.
Dragons have offered him 500k per year for 2 years.

The way he's playing maybe he's got over it. I think he's worth it but maybe offer 450k see who his heart is with. Both teams not gonna win the comp anytime soon but we're doing better than them at least, plus his got a lot of mates here already.

We are doing better than them? You cant be serious, they are on the rise with a relatively young team whilst we are a team of dinosaurs 🦖 heading south.
 
Apparently we are looking at Klemmer. I swear to god if we sign him I give up.
Apparently Josh Kerr going back to Dragons, I know we were going hard on him. Good to see we seemingly can't attract anyone.
Both of these have since been confirmed by other sources. What an embarrassing state of affairs for our club.

Everyone knows we're becoming a basket-case in fast motion. No one in their right mind is coming here, now that the "we're a top 4 team" curtain has come crashing down.

Just retirees looking for their last paycheck.
 
Jamal Shibasaki not signed for next year could be a good pick up. He was a back rower/centre but looks to have put a bit of weight on & has played front row/lock recently. Huge wraps as a junior but has plateaued a little at the cowboys. Still only 20 years old & made 55 run metres in a 13 minute stint against sharks on the weekend.

Has never started as a forward in NRL. Only as centre or wing.
Obviously can play, as he did fine in Origin, but Manly needs ... forwards !

Yes @SeaEagleRock8 we definitely need forwards. However, Jamal is Gehamat's brother and plays backrow for the Cowboy's .....
