One’s always broken and the other one is over rated
Perhaps you should’ve pitched to the club your seamless strategy of terminating a multi-million dollar contract and obtaining cap dispensation to go with it.Lol @ tremendous job. They done a good job, hardly anything impressive at this stage YET. A tremendous job would've been cutting someone like Foran loose and having him replaced with a key player, not just riding the cap out with some budget buys and waiting for contracts to expire and free up the cap.
Jake is a beast. Big hitter, motor for days, can ball play and gets great yards. Perfect middle forward imo.One’s always broken and the other one is over rated
That's completely irrelevant. I know you have some obsession over the board so there is really no point in discussing this with you.Perhaps you should’ve pitched to the club your seamless strategy of terminating a multi-million dollar contract and obtaining cap dispensation to go with it.
We hardly need him though. His running game has regressed this season and has become reliant passing before line. I'm sure the Manly system is responsible for a lot of that but he's hardly this million dollar player. Murray imo is the more appealing player and who I'd rather have in the team.Jake is a beast.

Tommy is injured alot but so was Teddy to begin with and he was worth the gamble.
Yeah but going for Murray and Tommy T is not likley get it done. They (jake and Tom) want to play together.We hardly need him though.

I'm a fan of Lewis just not blind to the fact he can't organise the team properly. I can handle him as a 6 but all the chat about him leading the side around is just that, Wakeham or Cogger need to be our 7 long-termCogger's not even starting. He's behind Lewis. I assume you're not a Lewis fan?
Also I was just responding to a post were someone said Jake is overrated, which I don't think he is. And that Tommy is always injured which may be true but so was Teddy at one stage.We hardly need him though. His running game has regressed this season and has become reliant passing before line.

The only way I'm paying over a mill for Jake is if Jake is splitting his pay with TomYeah but going for Murray and Tommy T is not likley get it done. They (jake and Tom) want to play together.
Tbh I don't think we'll get them anyway. Just my opinion but if we have to pay a little extra for an Austrailan and Nsw forward to grab his brother then it's fine by me. And we may not need a forward now but it looks like we're not going to re sign Tolman so Jake would just take his place.
Allgood. I'm fine to pay a bit over for Jake to get his brother.The only way I'm paying over a mill for Jake is if Jake is splitting his pay with Tom
The only risk with these two is Tommy is seen to be injury prone. But like I said so was Teddy with his shit house knees.Better off signing more players in that 400-700 bracket and leaving the million dollar players alone. It’s to risky , look at your Ash Taylors. When you go big and your marquee player is injured or out of form it has to much impact on the team
Irrelevant? It's in direct reference to your prior statement.That's completely irrelevant. I know you have some obsession over the board so there is really no point in discussing this with you.
We need to upgrade fullback I agree to seriously challenge for a premiership but we need a centre even more (in preference for Holland/Harper/Montoya's spot) next to Hopa. So we need 2 backs and 1 new dynamic forward (to replace Tolman in 2021) would be a luxury but if this article is true we're after 2 forwards and 1 back. That's stupid if true. We'd be better off and it would be more cost effective to sign Mitchell for fullback @1M, Ramien @500K and Fifita @1M = 2.5M. For the same spend as getting the Turbo bros and Fifita (3.4M) we could sign Tom Turbo @1.4M, Mitchell as a centre @1M and Fifita @1M. This would probably be the best team we could hope to get and would definitely challenge for a title in 2021. I can't see how Jake is worth 1M or more at all. You could get grand final virtual man of the match JWH for almost half that. Fifita is worth 1M because he's a freak in attack and could be the difference in winning many games. Jake is just a good hard worker. (worth about 750K at most)Latrell > Fifita
Trbo brothers too much money (more so Tom). I'm also scared about Tom's injury record.
I agree with the price tags (what we'd have to pay) but for us to have enough room for 3.4m worth of talent we're going to have to move on a lot more experienced players then I first expected.
And once again that's completely irrelevant. My abilities do not matter in the slightest, the board can and will still be judged. No need to try and put me on the gronk to try and make them look better.Irrelevant? It's in direct reference to your prior statement.
Please detail your early termination/exit plan for Foran (including grounds for obtaining cap dispensation from NRL), and once that is achieved - who you would've bought with the funds that would've taken us deep into the finals this year and last.
