Big Marty extends

[ALinda]

This is awesome news, thanks...that's made my day

How long is AFB contracted for? He is another we need to keep.

Till the end of 2022 - same as his prop partner-in-crime

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Great news indeed!

Remember this - Manly players volunteering for Canteen duty to keep the Birdgang together

Once again we're finding out through media and not club. They've been so poor in communication when it comes to who's staying and going. So glad Marty is staying but! Was REALLY worried he going to be to casualty to the T.bros staying

Wouldn’t surprise me if a fair few at HQ aren’t on holidays , which might be the reason for this.

I’d ask @The Wheel but apparently he’s in holidays too!!

Great news. Will keep the nrl salary cap auditors in a job too as they micro examine our books for half the year. Just after they spend a hour checking the roosters.

Her I wouldn’t have thought they’d even spend that!!

Uncle Nick to Toddy “ hey Toddy , we’ve got Ian Schubert on board now so everything is cool, no need to send the inspectors in, No worries says Toddy , that’ll give us more time to try and screw those pricks the Sea Eagles as boy they are looking pretty hot at present, good work says Uncle Nick and going back to back to back to back will be great for your next TV deal won’t it so we need to protect my Roosters, yeah perfect says Toddy, now what’s the name of that new Manly CEO again!!!

Yeah they are! Media team on holidays for the next couple of weeks I believe. Membership team still working though. Maybe they’ll do a mass announcement!

I’m so happy about these signings. As you guys know I was not a fan of Dylan after his incident. But I honestly think he has learnt his lesson - he doesn’t seem so cocky anymore and has become waaaayy more humble. So glad to see Marty stay too, he was INCREDIBLE this season

How good is the feeling around this club right now!! I’d really appreciate a premiership in 2020 😉

I couldn’t help but notice the difference in each game Dylan played this year-
He was a different person as far as growing up and out of the brash & cocky attitude he displayed under Baz

Some players CAN learn it seems

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

When the Turbo boys are announced ( surely it's a done deal ) our spine is looking awesome.

Tom - DCE - Jake - Manase with AFB and Kapow as the bookends.

If not 2020 then 21 should be a real window.

Goals

2020 Top 4

2021 Top 2

2022 Minor Premiers

All 3 could provide a Premiership.

Loved hearing this news, specially with all the past seasons talk about being shopped around. Great to see we are resigning, extending and bringing through the youngsters we want to keep. The next few years are looking fantastic. With all the player changes over the past 4 years, looks like we are finally settling on making a run for the GF.

No 5 year plans at our club
From next year we are capable of winning a comp ( barring any major injuries )

All about injuries AND when / how serious.

Surely we can’t have such a **** run as 2019.

I think we should aiming for #1 for the next few years. Im not, Des wont be and im sure the players aren't happy coming in 4th or 2nd.

I can see a couple of trophies in the near future. How exciting!

We are a realistic chance of being minor premiers and premiers for the next several years. I see only accepting top 4 as an underachievement. Each year every player and every team has aspirations of lifting the trophy. I wouldn't expect any teams going into the season expecting any less than a GF win... Aim low- Achieve low.... Aim big- win big
