New signings to be announced #nextweek

[ALinda]

In Zorba's column today, he ends his piece with "Some big fish are still to be landed."
I read his column and thought he's talking in riddles but what it says is new signings are coming. Whether its 'next week' or next year remains to be seen, but I'm not holding my breath!

"Landing big fish in silly season"
Given our recent recruitment record we're more likely to acquire stunned mullet rather than tuna in the hope of landing a premiership .. Challenging John West's theory of success.. Zorba's title should instead proclaim: "It's the fish that others reject that makes Manly the best"

This article gives some context

As I see it the way the nrl works now players off contract at the end of 2018 are fair game now...much like how walker or Marty t ended up with us

We have recently retained our premiership wining star NYC "piranhas" after some big and gutsy performances as they beat the odds to win the comp from 8th position.
We have upgraded the contracts of Jake and Tom Turbo , Walker , Taufua , Kappow .
We allegedly signed second row enforcer Joel Thomson and unless we know who else we are looking at then John West can get fcked as far as I am concerned

Has ZTC been on the BSB yet this morning ?

Lyle Gorman is a big fish

Lyle Gorman is a big fish

Well he comes from a place that they do fish from!

We might hear #nextweek regarding a new CEO, sounds like the Pennster might be putting out bushfires at HQ first though!

Ha ha.. Poor John West.. Shouldn't have got him involved. I'm not saying we haven't done well in retaining our young hopefulls and upgrading our stars. I'm just following your theory that big names, strength and speed win you premierships. We've got a pretty solid squad. J Thompson is a great addition if / when confirmed. 1 more "big fish" would put the icing on the cake.

He’s done for the year on the BSB, mate.

Hey Bozo. Do you have details on the NYC 'piranhas' Manly have resigned?

I have read an article where we have signed the stars of our NYC premiership winning team . I will try and find it

Yes I saw that as well, not sure if it was a club release or not, doubt it very much but they might do it #nextweek.

I am sure we are on the look out for another piranha . Our club is keeping things quite at the moment which means something "fi shy" is going on b eh ind the scenes .

I've heard Jake Friend is a big chance to be dumped onto the highway by the Roosters. They are the least loyal club I have ever known

Chooks haven’t been known for decades as the transit lounge for no reason.

I know it can be somewhat frustrating as we wait for an announcement on player signings. But I think when they are finally announced in the coming weeks/months we will find that the wait was worth it. By adding a couple of top quality players to what we’ve already got, I can really see another great period coming for the club. High expectations for next season.

I love your optimism................

I think we are 3 players short of premiership success......................a quality forward, a fast outside back and a decent 5/8.
I can't see where the 5/8 is coming from and I don't believe we can win the comp with Green. (unless we get a 2nd playmaker ala Killer somewhere else in the side) There's simply too much pressure on DCE to be the only real play maker.

Let's hope the announcements are worth waiting for but I'm not confident they will be that exciting (if they ever come)!

That was ZtH again... #lastweek

 

[HappilyManly]

#nextweek starts 1st November, when Clubs can approach the many players on their last contracted year

Hope Manly lands a few good, long term players

I think you may be right, but of course the 1st is just the first day they can be approached so it’s unlikely any big Marlins will be hooked that quickly, so #nextweek may in fact be well into #nextmonth

 

[Jatz Crackers]

Lets just change it to #next-time

That will cover all contingencies.
