2026 recruitment & retention

Don't think he's actually been binned this year. I think the move to the second row has ended his brain snaps.

Thats the point.
Ended his brain snaps, no sin bins, etc


No intimidation. Much reduced aggression.

Brings him right back to the pack.
Think JWH without the fear factor. Good, but not great.

Every successful team needs a Ronnie Gibbs in there somewhere.

Plus we'd no doubt have to pay full freight for Radley, as the Roosters will only get rid of him if they can sack him, to save having to pay any more for him.

He’s on $650k. That’s a great price to pick him up at & he might even have to take a small hair cut because of these off field issues. If the money is there it’s a no brainer

I'll get a lot of disagrees here, but if we got 500k from Aloiai and had a 650k budget I'd prefer a David Fifita over a Radley

I don't think Radley would be offered more than $500k by anybody, purely because of the concussion history.

Anyway this is all dependent on the Aloiai cash. My gut is telling me that money has already been offered to Hetherington, but who knows.

Oh come on that doesn’t fit the narrative on here , that cannot be true,

1) both are so pissed off with the coach they want out.
2) Tom’s already got a handshake agreement with a club in the UK.
3) they’ve both signed a deal with a book publisher about an expose on the disaster that is the MWSE.

That’s the headlines you should be posting.

PS: the above obviously made up but I’ll only believe it when the club announces the extension as most media stuff is also “ made up “.

I'm trying to say this in the kindest possible way because I really like your posts but you might want to just take a breath Mark.

Someone seems to have gotten under your skin lately but surely not everyone? You've made so many posts recently attacking Silvertails for what I see as just different opinions. We're all just Manly supporters hoping for a winning team again.

Anyway, hope you're ok. Maybe take a walk on the beach and look for some Sea Eagles. Magnificent creatures!

Bring over Victor, get one back over the chooks, perfect back row option, good aggression too

Just what we need, a snorting ex-Rooster.

 

[MightyEagles]

Do they have a no limit on what they can offer a marquee player, or is this capped as well ?

No limit I believe

It's a six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Fifita is a pea heart and Radley is a pea brain!

Hmm, I dunno, I'm with the others who have concerns about his concussion issues.
