2026 recruitment & retention

[eaglebuzz]

I'm not anti Klemmer. As with all these things, it comes down to the dollar value. I wouldn't want to spend $600k on him, but for $150k he would be useful.

Last three spots
Kobe Hetherington
Davvy Moale
Jacob Alick-Wiencke

Knowing Manly lately
David Klemmer
Silivq Havili
Jack Hetherington

That run on pack is a long way from premiership quality. And if paseka gets injured again, it’s bottom 4.

Now that the season is over, can we please sign up some talent & not go for below average players like Turpin.
