Lol, Fox have the Tigers after Shaun Johnson now as well

What about Ben hunt?

Lol you’d have to think Johnson is 1000/1 to ever leave NZ again after his very public struggles away from home at Cronulla. From what he has said since, he hated living abroad.

Very interesting.I wonder if ST members will believe this story because it’s favourable for Manly fans or treat it like other stories.Given there are quotes from Mario and it is Dean Ritchie,who has basically been Zorba’s lapdog for many a decade,I suspect it’s not far from the truth

I'm taking the Agent Mulder approach to anything I hear or read - trust no one. I want to see a contract and the back of their head as they run onto the field before I believe it.

What about Ben hunt?

Fox say Canberra for him.

There is also Chad Townsend on 360's self made rumours

All halves should just rotate

As an aside how bad is foxsports these days?

The majority of the "content" is just re hash of bad takes from their awful sports shows.

Yeah they contradict themselves a lot! They ran a story this week about how the Dragons are playing with fire by using Ben Hunt at 9 and that he might look around for another club…during the same story they said he has a great relationship with Griffin and would obviously have been consulted if he is ‘on board’ with the decision. Then they said if he plays 9 and a new coach comes along, he might get upset about playing 9?!

So essentially, what I can extract from all that is that Hunt is happy to play 9 and on board with the new tactic, but if the person telling him to play 9 is not Anthony Griffin, he will walk and look for a club?! Seriously…I give up

What about a lucky dip? The top 17 players get paid $2M by the NRL then clubs draw names out of a hat to see who plays where.

Yep a kid who has a tonne of talent. I think the club stuffed up making this public. Could have kept it all in house. Get the kid fit. Micro manage his diet and watch the kid shine

No way! If he is not selected people are going to want to know why! This site alone would be going off!!!

 

[fLIP]

Did the club make it public or was it needed to explain that he wasn’t dropped because of the bbq fisty cuffs? Which the media would have loved to run with.

 

[Ned]

Regardless of any rumor's this guy needs to get his sht together and get on the field before we worry about his next contract I reckon.

 

[Waz13]

Concerned we lose the shoe now. Anasta on 360 seemed unusually sure of himself when he said Shuster to Tigers. Rumours Fulton wants Koula too. Ffs while we sign tigers rejects. Worst rumour possible.

Seriously why would any player serious about their career go to Wests? ****e club, zero identity and players just sing for overs rendering their commitment to success minimal in the motivation dept. if a player of ours wants to go to that club, he’s better off there as his head is obviously all over the place.

Easy money. Because theres clearly no expectation on delivering anything at wests

Our 7 does a lot some games.

Nrl 360 is actually going downhill. It is becoming almost more tabloid and less credible each week.

When Ben Ikin hosted the show it had some class. I like Braith as a host however with Riccio and Carryanis and the way Kent carries on it is starting to lose its way:

Sometimes they argue about nothing for almost ten mins. It’s really losing its mojo if it ever had it.

Olakau’atu, a NSW State of Origin candidate, comes off contract after 2025.

Aware his current deal was modest, given his blockbusting form, Manly agreed to a hefty pay rise for this season.

That figure can be revealed as nearly $200,000.

“Manly gave him an increase this year for 2023,” Tartak said. “It was a gesture of goodwill.

“We haven’t moved on ’24 or ’25. There aren’t any increases for those seasons just yet.

“But we would expect an increase for ’24 and ‘25 and that has been told to me.”

Olakau’atu is poised for another powerhouse display against the Broncos on Friday evening.

If we have to give these managers air time, then once in a while I would like to hear them talk about their clients wanting to win a premiership for the club that signed and supported them from when they were teenagers... instead of talking about how many extra tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars they expect to receive over and above what they are actually contracted to receive.

This is actually one of the other quotes from the same article:

“If anything, the criticism motivates Josh. He cops it sweet. He is happy at Manly and has ambitions at Manly to win a premiership. He is definitely staying,” said Schuster’s manager Mario Tartak.

 

[double hoops]

Ask yourself this. Why is tartak talking about Haumole in this article? The Shoe must have really pissed the club off some how.

 

[Disco]

Surprised a Schuster - S Walker swap has been mooted in the media.

Personally I think we have to give Schuster at least the rest of this year

The hysteria of this past week is going to look pretty funny when Manly wins this year's grand final!

If they rotate too much those halves will make a big hole
