Could it be true?

[Harvies elbow]

Garrick as well. I'm salivating at Walker and Garrick.

01. Tom Trbojevic
02.
03. James Roberts
04. Dylan Walker
05. Reuben Garrick
06. Lachlan Croker
07. Daly Cherry-Evans

And tbh, if go with Brendan Elliott on the wing over Taufua, Suli or Parker.

Edit: Also think it would be a trade move as well, with a player going the other way.

I love that bloke.
You would probably be to young to remember Tom Mooney who not only was crazy, was a great finisher.
Garrick reminds me of him, without the craziness.
Even the way he runs but he is a great find for us I enjoy watching him play...

 

[MadMarcus]

The main clue that this rumour is suss...since when does Manly have 'officials'?

Well, not officially

 

[MadMarcus]

Hmmm not speed but another white powder

Are you talking about flour from Stu Laundy’s place?

Garrick at center over roberts? What the heck. Garrick is a good winger he and walker will make a nice combo

Roberts doesn’t really pass (I’m pretty sure), and Garrick has played his rugby league (except in first grade) as a centre. Roberts used to be a fullback so must go ok under the ball still. I don’t mind either way, but reckon with Garrick’s creativity and passing game the setup could get the best out of both players. Obviously could work either way

 

[Supreme Leader]

Even though he's not a winger, I'd be more inclined to play Roberts on the wing and keep Parker in the centres.

However, being seen having breakfast with someone doesn't mean they are signed, sealed and delivered.

Depends on whether he gets food poisoning?

They are eating in Brisbane so who knows.....

BTW, let me clarify something. I said I'd be more inclined to keep Parker in the centres and play Roberts on the wing for three reasons.

1 - Roberts has the speed of a winger, especially when he's fit. When he is fit, outside of Addo-Carr he's easily the fastest player in the game.

2 - Being on the wing would make it a bit easier to hide his defensive deficiencies.

3 - Parker has proven that he is much better at centre, especially defensively, than he is when playing on the wing. At centre he knows what he's doing, on the wing he's more at sea than the Titanic, and that ship sunk first time out.

Sure, ideally you'd have a State of Origin centre playing in the centres. But in this case....I'm not so sure.

If we get him cheap and keep him on a very short leash, then sure. Especially if he comes across before June 30 and we can use Walker's stand down cap relief to sign him. Our outside backs cupboard is pretty bare right now.

He's not my first choice but he could be handy this year now the Broncos seem to be done with him.

Would be handy before June 30

Cap relief was for the time of Walker's enforced absence.

Manly won't benefit if he is now available.

Then again, Greenturd may have his own explanation of who and what gets the Cap relief

Interesting to note that yesterday's CEO Meeting did not have a media update regarding the GI scam of wiping 1.5 million away from the Rabbids' Cap

 

[MissKate]

He will be a great back up

If Brad was back up for those 2, with their track records he would get a game pretty every week. Struggling to find the benefit of signing another player who spends more time off the field than on

Done with him? In case you missed it, Broncos have just lost Bird - suddenly they need a centre.

I get what your saying but look at guys like fonua blake hes turned things around, roberts could do the same.. maybe he doesnt like the coach or the area i dont know but if he came and walker is there on the other side thats the best center pairing in the game. Des would make the best plays with blokes like this along with turbine. This is the benefits... no risk no reward.. go hard or go home... what is dead may never die.... what ever floats your boat?

 

[MissKate]

AFB served his time and has gone through the nrl’s rehab process, roberts just jumps clubs and everything is swept under the carpet. That will def not be the case if he joins Manly, he will be sitting out games if not injured then for suspension

4 Clubs in 8 years

Jet is not a stayer and is now hampered with disc issues similar to BJ Leilua who just went under the knife and is gone for 2019

Broncos do want him and now need him more than ever.
Seibs will show him the love that he craves

I remember Tom Mooney. On the right flank outside Gartner and Booth. Determination personified. One of my favourite players from that era. We old people got to see some great players. No doubt the young will get to see some great players after we’re gone. Of course, I intend to be reincarnated as a Manly supporter but I may miss a few games in the crib.

I don't think seibold and Roberts get along

 

[KNUCKLES]

Sign isaako up while were at it

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Best bit of these unfounded rumours and shady meetings is that top shelf players are willing to talk to the seaeagles again. Under Tbaz nobody would sit down at the plastic table of death and even talk to us.

Under Dessie we offer a plan and future for possible players....

Go Dessie.

 

[Go manly]

Parker is a very big part of a tight knit bunch of guys

NonevI can think of would rather have jerk off jimmy the jet than our own Red beard

Parker has played extremely well this year

We have not seen the best of him yet

He has the respect of our own players

Is a Des type player

Wants to be here

Hope he stays long term

Let Roberts rob another club

And while we are at it

Time for you Dylan to decide
You in or out
If your out get out quick
Cause we only want people who want to be here

Shall we never have a Willie , Nate ,poo ever again

Jimmy swims at the same shallow end of the pool as these guys

Are you the Jet's media manager ?
