There is no A.I. Just better computers
If we miss out on these two how much will need to pay for their equivalents.

Exactly, so make them a good offer and be done with it.Trouble is, there are no equivalents.
Come on Killer03, when has our club ever played hardball with its young stars??? It's not like they would accept an offer and then we stuff around so much that we end up pulling the offer off the table and they sign with someone else only to have us weigh in at the 11th hour an offer worth several million more than we could of got them for in the first place.No issue with some negotiation and pushing each other, I just hope we don't take a hard ball line which alienates our 2 brightest young stars before the negotiations have even really begun.
Neither player has played rep football yet,so the club should be paying them accordingly.If they pay overs now,then by the time their next contracts are ready for negotiations,they'll have the club over a barrel and all Manly fans will see are Jake,Tom and DCE playing with the 2 Wrights Ayshford,De Gois and Mitch Rein.
Yeah that's fair enough,but some clubs will offer plenty just to drive up the price Manly have to pay knowing that they are not likely to go thereProblem with that rationale is that other clubs will offer overs to get them whether they've played Origin or not. Think Canterbury and Thurston. What you're paying for is potential and ensuring you can out-compete the other guy trying to buy them. They'll take less to stay at Manly...but not a great deal less.
I think that only activates if Table for Cartwright leaves.I wonder if they'll ask for a get out clause if Barrett leaves?
They should run. I say that with the best interests of two young and incredibly promising football players at heart.
Our club is a mess.
Quick question for both Frank and yourself - would you still support Manly if the Penns stuffed this up? If the boys left there would be a huge uproar, Manly most likely will take years to recover and fans will walk, will you be one of them? (this is an innocent question not a sarcastic one).Never thought I would see the day but I really hope they go to a strong and stable club with a great coach.
