Sam Moa

[ManlyArmy]

SYDNEY Roosters prop Sam Moa has knocked back a deal in excess of a $1 million from English Super League powerhouse Leeds.

Moa instead wants to chase a three-year deal that will see him continue his remarkable back-from-the-dead NRL career in Australia, possibly with the Manly Sea Eagles.

The Sunday Telegraph can confirm Moa will leave the Roosters at the end of this year should he be able to find a long-term NRL deal, with his incumbent club agreeing to release him a year early to secure his financial future.

But Moa will not be moving back to the UK - the country he established himself in after playing just one NRL game with the Sharks - after knocking back an offer to join Super League competition leaders Leeds as their marquee player.

Would not be unhappy if we signed him. Still have memories of Glen trying to tackle him in the GF a couple of years ago.

 

[Alby]

I'd have thought penrith would be chasing him, since brown, api, idrus leaving. Be awsome if we can pull this one off!

 

[dowdz]

Would love Moa at Manly. Love the way he hits the ball up

 

[ManlyArmy]

Moa, Myles, Trbojevic, Starling, Lawrence! Great choice for front rowers!

 

[Frogz]

Yes please

 

[brad]

Manly has a 6 month plan to rebuild I'm liking it .

 

[Killer03]

Moa just knows one speed....full bore ahead, and me likey!

 

[Simonmyers11]

Would be a fantastic signing

 

[Manly To Win!]

Manly should go all out for him, then get someone like Cornish or Issac John for halves depth and we should be right for next season.

 

[Budgie]

I just love his name.

[yokahontas]

I just love his name.

And the fact that he's Tongan is just the icing on the cake!

 

[Manlyfan_99]

Im telling you if we get Moa, we are genuine contenders for next years comp. Having that extra go forward with the other additions will make life easy for Cherry and the backs.

I like it but jake t has to start .

 

[The Who]

Jake is, and will be for many seasons, our forward 'rock'. His defence is outstanding. None of this grappling and hugging, he cuts them down. While he will probably not be a really damaging runner, he can become a skilled off-loader.
I'm super impressed with Jake. I'm sure he'll be playing SOO around 2017.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

But can we afford him???

 

[mickqld]

Easy just offer $1mill for 3 yrs and backend the last year for $500k then offload him in 2018. Works a treat no problems.

Is THAT how the Rorters do it, I thought they had paper bags??

 

[Brothers manly]

ManlyArmy.....do you consider Lussick a second rower as you left him out of your props. Then again the Rorters throw them in all positions in the pack looking at the makeup needed on field. Scrums don't matter.
