Rumour You heard it here first

[gbrussell]

Would love marty back, was sad to see him depart,be a big force adding him to our awesome new 22 pack.!! Wait an see I guess.

If Des lets Marty go, that means he has been released twice by the same coach at different clubs.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Is this because Aloai dropped him at training captains run why Aloai was stood down

 

[Baby Blues]

I think he did; NRL.com articles says he sign to go back in 2018, Marty's extension was published Dec 2019 - so classic Des

Ok my bad thanks for the info

 

[DGAF]

Didn't Marty just publicly post that he was going to be at Manly in 2022?
Was reported on their Silvertails site..... supposedly interviewed on 1170 Sen Sydney and said so himself about 2-3 days ago....

 

[WestenBulldog]

Marty and Stimson could play hairdressers before training.

 

[Bulldogsteve]

id be shocked if we bought him TBH

I reckon Vaughny will be in the 17 somewhere Baz.

 

[Chris Harding]

would the Sea Eagles be chipping in on any of Taupau's salary?

It can come out of Hasler's salary.

 

[Matilida]

800 is way too much for Marty.

 

[Kiwipup]

Who the fuck is bullemor?

 

[Bazildog]

I reckon Vaughny will be in the 17 somewhere Baz.

Great news

 

[dogluva]

To be fair to him I don't think he was in charge when Taupau signed his extension?

NRL star’s move unlocks three-team switch

Manly’s move to snatch rising star Ethan Bullemor from the Broncos has potentially unlocked a three-team player switch.

www.news.com.au

Ryan James was strong wouldn’t mind him on the cheap looked good in blue and white

 

[D- voice]

Bullemor> Manly
Taupau> Canterbury

Womanly must be paying him the 800k for to play for us

 

[no1bulldog]

He’s shit these days too ok’d and only made a name lifting weights…. Pass

 

[boggie23]

Unless he comes very cheap it’s not worth bailing manly out.

Guy will be 32 before next year stars. Either through falling down the pecking order at manly or age he isn’t as dominant as he once was. The nostalgia would be nice. But on 800k even if we pay 450 that is a large chunk of cap. And will he perform as a 450k player week in week out?

Vaughan, Jackson, Ava most probably won’t be here long enough for a premiership. Last thing you need is another flush out in 2 years.

a young forward to replace Elliot. And maybe moving flanno and cotric for a decent half I’d take. Getting a 32 year old former hard man on his last contract you’d have to be desperate. In his day was a game changer. Will never forget the run he took with a busted knee against I think parra. Another disastrous release by hasler. That guy seemed retarded or just made every decision to bring the club down.

 

[ddt192]

Unpopular opinion but I don’t really think we need him.

 

[doggieaaron]

Unpopular opinion but I don’t really think we need him.

Agreed

 

[GrogDog]

I never wanted him to go, just like Finucane however they obviously did. We missed his prime and no way is he worth 800k, that's absolutely ridiculous money. He's worth maybe half that. It's hard to see where the club is thinking with regards to some important pieces, namely 7 & 9 so I don't know if blowing any money we have (Gus said we don't?) on another prop.
