[Resurrected] Parcell the next to go?

[R3]

The Sharks already have mania cherrington, mcirlwick again?, grant Garvey, and garvey jnr.
Sharks fans go nuts for the Garveys like their Turbos..
If they add Damien cook they're surely done..

How would a swap increase the squad numbers?

Things like this:

"How can you let Gutherson go and then get the Wrights (not including Tom) and Brown"

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

How would a swap increase the squad numbers?

Maybe if we swapped one complete player for two halves?

Maybe if we swapped one complete player for two halves?

Or 5/8ths of F.A.

Just Lurker bull****, I bet he's going no where!!!

Zorba would look like a fool (or more so of) after his praise and push for Parcell in 2017 in his article if he isn't here next year.

Zorba couldn't care less, he just doesn't like anybody getting a scoop before the club gets to announce it. There is horse trading going on 24/7 at Manly...nobody is safe if the right targets are hit!

Hooker is one of, if not THE main driver to a teams success. Parcell craps all over Koroisou. Koroisou needs to be injury depth, no more. OR he needs to be the utility player on the bench in place of Brown.

If Api practises his passing 6 hours a day over the offseason he might turn out to be a good hooker 😉

Only if he has quality practice, if he practice likes he plays he will remain a terrible distributor of the ball.

Coup for @SSFCRABBITOHS with Damien Cook extending his contract... he almost escaped!

So Parcell is staying, in fact there was never a chance they would let him go, according to the Manly Daily... I guess rumours are just that.....Anyway, I am pleased to have this young gun in our squad.

This might sound funny but for years I always wondered why we rarely try to pinch good hookers from Union. I hate the game but man oh man seeing those guys fire out beautiful quick spiral passes on both sides hitting doods chests at 20 metres was something I appreciated watching. Because u just don't see it in league quite frankly. Now Union forwards are ****ing monsters too so rugby hookers clearly can handle serious traffic up the middle too. It's mystifying to me clubs don't explore that option.

Scrum half or hookers? Hookers don't pass much.

Nowhere near mobile enough they are effectively not much smaller than the front rowers. Spiral passes ? The only time they really have the ball in hand is in the line outs.

Clearly I'm not into Union lol apologies. The fellas that chuck the ball out from those messy things..when they all cuddle and occasionally stomp on each other

Agreed, yep it is the union halfback who does the long spiral passes from behind rucks and mauls.

Today's Manly Daily is pretty clear:

Greg Bird - no offer was ever made
Curtis Sironen- not coming
Matt Parcell - staying no move to Sharks was ever contemplated

Sorry, no link yet, got it off the rumours thread.

Well if the Parcell story is correct, my apologies to the great man Fulton, though I'm still dirty on him for letting Buhrer go. But Parcell to me is an important link in the chain and could be a future star. I'd suspect, as suggested by others, that Buhrer's role is being ear marked for one Jamil Hopoate. Similar type of player though I suspect Buhrer was a better defender, though I believe we'll find Hopoate will be a better attacker.
