Turbo tied up long term

[madmax]

Might be on a back ended contract 💰

Oh I thought you only got ‘back ended’ contracts if at the Roosters 🤭. Oh wait ‘rear ended’. I mean there really are some cracks appearing at the Roosters. Lots of innuendos floated about DCE so he’s gonna have to watch his back….😳. Isn’t an innuendo an Italian suppository?

Guess that means Lehi staying on the wing into the indefinite future on the assumption that Turbo may finally have a better run on the injury front .
Gifted individual footy player [ Lehi ] ' but just did not seem to have the same effectiveness in the main from the back when playing there on occasions this year and after really standing out there regularly in numerous games in 24
No doubt again , opposition defence paying closer attention to him when playing there but fortunately , has continued to do well and make the most of his opportunities on the wing this season
Think that he is still signed for 2 more seasons but Turbo "s new contract apparently covers the 3 seasons after 26
Thought like a couple of others that Lehi could go quite well as a 6 with a bit of adjustment but with Walsh and Large coming on and Brooks and Fog in the system , not going to happen or even to be considered any time soon
Maybe could or receive offers soon elsewhere approaching full backs money but also hopefully , just enough incentive and reason to continue on with Manly in the continuing Turbo era and beyond , even if it means more wing play then not and on some respectable coin

I really worry about this because if he is constantly down for another 3 seasons, the 2027 hope of renewal will just move out to 2030

Big Papa Hoppa might start agitating for a release.

Big Papa Hoppa might start agitating for a release.

So he should, based on what Turbo has put in for the past 4 years. Young Hoppa has probably played more games already.

Second year syndrome.

Lehi did look a little flat (by his standards) at stages this year but was still one of Manly's best.

In fact finished 4th in our MVP including MOM in rounds 7 (fullback), 12 (wing), and 13 (fullback), plus getting among the points at both ends of the season. Very hard for a young player to excel over such a long demanding season.

Kids a star!

It is now.

I don’t think any team would currently take Hoppa over their known quantity fullback.

For 2028 (the year his contract is up), these are the fullbacks he will have to unseat:

Brisbane - Walsh
Canberra - Weekes
Canterbury - Ponga apparently (??)
Cronulla - Kennedy
Gold Coast - Kini
Manly - Turbo or Hoppa
Melbourne - Faalogo
Newcastle - Sharpe
North Queensland - Drinkwater
Parramatta - Iongi
Penrith - Edwards, or a Penrith junior
PNG - ?
Redcliffe - Hammer
St George - Possibly Sloan
Rabbitohs - Latrell or Gray
Roosters - Name escapes me, young guy who is very impressive
Warriors - CNK or Tuipiki
Wests - Bula

The only options here, are PNG or St George, if Sloan leaves. I don’t think those are great options.

Maybe the Roosters if they ditch their highly touted junior, although I doubt it.

Keep an eye out for Cronulla... I'm just throwing it out there.
