The Jurker.......

We have been linked to Gillett, Proctor and possibly Matulino. All these players would be demanding well over 500k per season. Thats enough to tell me that we are still in the hunt for a world class forward. Looking at what we have bought so far, non of the players are breaking the bank. With the players we have moved on and with Matai's money still to be possibly spend, i really do think we can sign one more big name.
Wouldn't Graham be a welcoming addition. IMO he is the pinnacle of a real leader with toughness and a true competitor. This would be massive for the club.
 
Will Barrett be at Brookie in 2018 if Manly don’t make the 8?

The Lurker: I would say no - his first season was terrible and you are only allowed one bad year in this game. v

I agree with this, he has to get us to the finals. All we need is a bit of luck with injuries, and I'm back I'm backing us in!

Yes Jason Taylor and Brad Arthur and Mary are all proof that you only get one bad year.

Stevo i dont think he is being a dkhead mate , what wld you do ? He knows its his last big pay day he just wants to make sure he gets his entitlement .. Yeah he has always been on good money but still far less than his worth .. Slaters& inglis of the world been on close to a million dollars a year all their careers .. Brett stewart at his best had them all covered .. Not you but a lot of people on here seem to forget very quickly how good he has been .. Im telling everybody without him we would have won nothing . Winning a g.f wld have been only a pipe dream .. No one on here wld ever treat beaver like this .. He has had one very poor season 2016 in his career .. If he thinks he can still play , give him that chance he still has to be payed anyway .. A couple of games in 2017 & we will all know ..

That's all very true mate.

However, he has a contract to play rugby league. So like I have said before, he can either play or he can't.

If he is fit to play then he should play.

If he is not fit to play then he can not honour his contract and should take a payout at a reduced figure and be done with it.

Would be determined by the terms of the contract, and I have no idea what is in an NRL contract. My guess though is that the player agrees to train and play and to rehab when injured. Everyone gets injured it is part of the game so not quite fair to say if he's too badly hurt he should renegotiate his payment down.

Very true.

And when Snake missed basically 2 whole seasons with knee injuries, he was paid in full.

Might be time to let go of petty anger and just do the right thing.

Crazy, I know.
 
I hope, if they sack him, we can pick up Brown or McGregor. Or we could give Dean Young a shot, he deserves a crack at first grade.

These old Dragons players are making coaching look easy.
