2026 recruitment & retention

While I agree with everyone in regards to Garrack. There’s has to be a price.

During his last contract it was stated he would only stay if he played centre.

I’m sorry. He’s not a centre plus that up with the fact he wants more money. Over the $500000 range.

Id rather give his spot to a young and upcoming player. Especially not we don’t need his goal kicking.
 
Garrick is a great clubman and a very good footballer. But he is the most expendable player in our backline with what we have coming through in my opinion. I would persist with Saab who is on a much smaller contract. I would be happy to keep Rueben as well.
 
Hopefully the Schoupp announcement is one of several in a string that starts confirming our squad for next year. Seems to be a lot of question marks at the moment
 
So I think I heard on MMM this arvo we've signed RCG. Please,surely not another washed up has been prop. I hope I heard wrong.

I don't mind Schoupp as a depth player but realistically we offered him a year because he did his knee playing for us in the last round and it would be kind of weak to cast him adrift like that!
We are always told by players that it’s a business and there’s no loyalty anymore.

Now Manly are a charity case and a retirement village.

Worst run club in the game but at least we are happy to help busted and over the hill players.

Unfortunately there’s no trophy for that!

That post aged well.

We also need good value for money to fill out our top 30. Unfortunate as that injury was for his prospects elsewhere, it probably meant we could re-sign him for a song.
