They still live with mum and dad for goodness sake! They're never leaving Manly.

Another wish list hope that won’t happen.!!!

No dreams will come true with pay in charge.

 

[Bluebody]

I don't see it happening at all.

 

[The DoggFather]

No chance with pay in "charge" UNLESS they pay massive overs for them.

Ritchie says it will take 15 million to entice them to Belmore hahahaha...we're that unattractive a prospect and career killer.

Is that meant to mean something?

Right??

and there is no chance the board will fork out that kind of dosh for 2 players

Yes the boys will move the wife and all the kids, when they come along, into mum and dads house too. Never, ever leaving

 

[Papa Emeritus]

Signing them would be better than most of my wet dreams, but it will never happen.

I am pretty curious to see how Manly manage to keep them both considering the insane money the giraffe is on. I could easily see paying 3 people approx 1 mil+ each causing major issues for the rest of their squad.

1.3m for Tom and 1.2m for Jake, can Manly compete with this? 12.5m over 5 years. Any combination, e.g. 1.5m for Tom and 1m for Jake. Whatever it takes.

Honestly the more I think about this the more I dont think it would work.

They have it easy in Manly, its their club. They live at home with their parents. They go to and from training together. They literally play down the road from where they grew up. Coming to the Dogs would be way out of their comfort zone and I dont think they would perform.

Latrell is a better option.

 

[Nasheed]

BUT, Manly think this too. And are mistaking their loyalty for weakness and underpaying.

But i do agree that they will get sentimental and return down the line when Manly starten up with a proper offer. And the league will welcme them as 'boys coming home where they belong'.

Honestly focus on Darryl Clark, Ponga and Luke Thompson instead. Nasheed.

 

[bradyk]

Latrell isn't a better option. Latrell and let's say Arrow would be 2nd best option tho in my head.

my problem right hre in bold.
The guy has game thats been soled by the opposition.

800k and thats being way beyond generou. He is a 650 player, just like Jackson. Nasheed.

 

[Bad Billy]

Signing two of the best players in the game will turn us around ???
No shit Sherlock.
**news flash**
Signing Cameron Smith and James tedesco will turn the bulldogs around.

He's worth 1m. Non debatable. We'd have to overpay, hence the 1.2m, or we just offer Tom more and if they want to play together Jake will come for 1m. Jake's 1 of, if not the best, forwards in the game that can also ball play like a half.

Even if Des was still at Belmore there would be zero chance. All we, the other clubs and media are doing is forcing their price up to the maximum Manly can afford. They and their family are full on Northern beaches people involved in the local footy and community and are never going anywhere but Brooky.

Much more of a chance of snagging Ponga for $1.3- $1.5 mil per season and building around him than getting those 2.
