Who said we're strapped?

That's right.

<drops mike>

Every news article alluding to Foran leaving, from many different sources.

Also, who's Mike? He may be very saddened !

Yeah, they all copied the "original source" who was?

HINT: initials DW but it ain't our number 14.

If you look back 2yesrs ago no one thought Foz would last 6 games ,so if he gets through this year unscathed I will be happy. We have got the best out of him and he gets another 2 yrs on good money albeit at the tits.Shu will get his shot a 6 and I'm excited to see what he can do

I just don't see the Foz. Certainly not the Foz, the one that has been reborn, once he returned back to Manly existing any where else.

 

[Snake]

Upgrading Saab and losing Foz. This hurts.

The upgrade already happened after his try scoring blitz last year. Funny thing is, if he didn’t have a ligament injury, he was going to be dropped for Christian Tui this week turns out they do value yardage carries over speed.

Last year it was Suli this Suli that
This year, you've latched onto Foran

Who are you going to **** on next year??

I have been spot on so far. Let's wait to next season if anyone is worthy.

 

[XV-1]

Ohh no. We can't lose Foz after preparing Shu for the front row over the last couple of months.

LOLOLOL classic

The Foz has fuccked Manly in the past and is more than happy to try it again.

Forget signings mate. Apparently we are strapped even though Walker, Foran, Taupau, Taufua, Boyle are gone, Chez is taking a paycut and the caps gone up.

So I guess this is as good as it gets for us given we'll be less depth wise next season.

When will we get a full time CEO or CFO in to try and get some momentum here ? Can I also say Crusher, and possibly Fulton might need some help in recruitment ?

Don't forget the very very highly paid Turbo brothers that signed for unders but didn't.

Nonsense,

Panthers let go of Capewell, now Kikau and Api

Souths Reynolds and Gagai

Storm Finucane and Addo Carr, Smith next Year

Good to see someone talking sense

Stop crying, he’s here this year, and if he can earn a retirement wage of more than 300k somewhere else good luck to him. We have good halves coming through. It would be worse to lose them and keep foz.

True. But if schuster gets injured and no Foz no walker…. Who do we use?

Just sayin’

Kaeo Weekes is untested at 1st grade level but looked good in the trial earlier this year. We also have Humphreys who is highly rated.

 

[Disco]

Look it's tough and ideally we could have kept him another year to either play 5/8 or 14 in the Walker role and assess year to year but time waits for no man and for every Reynolds/Ilias there is a Sherwin/Thurston.

Ultimately he got offered a 2 year deal and I'm comfortable not matching what the Titans offered.

Titans are an interesting one....Sexton, Brimson and Campbell are young, but another 15 games under their belt, maybe they find some rhythm.....thought Dolphins would have been a better fit

 

[KaZa]

Every club ha

every club has 30 players... and every club has young players.... and every club has start..... Top ups is the same as paying players...means nothing. WE are always short on cap yet no one else seems to be

Not every club has the turbos on 2 million and DCE on 1.25 million though

You can add to that list as well @Disco
Cats: Burton and Naden
Rabbits: Sua
Storm: Hynes

Just off the top of my head.

I cannot understand the cap problem with us. Yes we have 3 players who are taking up most of the cap and we have re signed some of our young guns. We are losing players at years end but we are still under cap pressure. We havent signed any big names since walker and Tapou, only fringe players, but we are still under cap pressure. What I fear most is if we will ever be in a position to go for any marque players again in the future. We have let more players go in the last decade than any other club but havent replaced them with anyone with any quality but we are still under cap pressure. Something is wrong somewhere. It doesnt make any sense

I do however see the injury prone Foz existing elsewhere. I’ve been amazed by his durability given his injury history, however every time he runs out there I always think he’s a big chance of injury. He’s proved me wrong so far.

On the contrary, sounds like you understand it perfectly

Maybe one of those titans halves is in the way to the dolphins……
