Kane Elgey -->Manly√

[Fluffy]

He averages 3.8 missed tackles per game. To put that in perspective, Maloney miss 6.3 per game.

Elgey is young and hopefully with some coaching, his Defence will improve.

How many do they make?

There have been a few signings over the last week, mostly internal re-signings which should be announced soon.

They might wait until memberships are up again

Elgey - averages 12 per game

So how did Hastings free up a spot then? Does a player have to take up a spot in another teams roster to free up the one he was taking?

System changing next year
"It's understood a key change to the model is likely to make clubs more receptive to publishing full squad lists in 2019, with players who are still included in a club's salary cap but no longer playing there no longer occupying a roster spot from next season."

I can't see how this reply addresses my post you quoted mate? How was Hastings' top 30 spot freed up to allow Fainu's upgrading if paying a player out doesn't free it up?

Makes you wonder doesn't it. Something smells in the NRL

Good signing. We have depth in Cust, Metcalfe and Wright but Metcalfe is seen as a future replacement for DCE and Cust is of a similar mould. It's Wright who I'd be worried about as both centre and 5/8 will have been shored up. Having said that, if Elgey fails then Wright or Walker would be ready made back ups.

Just got a signing news email from Manly....

No Comments from Barrett in that email .....hmmm

 

[Eagles2nv]

So when does he back flip???

 

[SeaEagle21]

No Comments from Barrett in that email .....hmmm

Haha - I noticed that too but choose to think that he let Cartwright give comment having previously been involved with him at GC

 

[Disco]

Well, he is a Manly boy now so he gets my support

Fingers crossed he can reproduce that form from his rookie year and tighten up his defence

 

[weev]

Welcome, Kane. Hope you are Able.

 

[COMMANDER]

This signing is Trent Hodkinesque.

 

[nightster]

He's here now so I to will support him and hope he proves to be a worthy signing .... at least he was a Seahawk as a junior ... time to become a Sea Eagle and soar like one young Kane

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

This signing is Trent Hodkinesque.

At least he has knee’s, two of them in fact!!

 

[Bearfax]

At least he has knee’s, two of them in fact!!

And he's only 24. His best years are potentially ahead of him. I recall Canterbury letting go a 22 year old (not that much younger) they didn't seem to have much interest in, and the kid moved to North Queensland. His name was Thurston. Not suggesting Elgey will reach such heights, but he will improve on what has gone before. He has had one season ending injury in '16 and he has some defensive issues. It was thought he had lost confidence and lost an interest in the game. Hopefully a new club will inspire the kid, just as it did Thruston.

People will complain at almost anything.
