Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Schuster now officially released by Manly.
He would now only command about 250-300k maximum and I know it’s far from ideal recruiting known lazy trainers who carry that same laziness into game days, however not many players possess the size and talent of Schuster.
In NRL terms 250-300k is a low risk, if the player gets his act together, trains hard and produces his best we have a bargain, if he continues to be lazy we simply don’t re-son him past this season.

Offer him a 1yr with 2yr MO deal min contract year 1 and incentives year 2/3 if it works out.
Be very low risk.

Still would like to see Addo Carr on the wing for us.

 

[lathami]

Appreciate the well thought out response.

I said it before he is way to small for our side, Olam is short fauutape is short, Staines is not that tall and a dweeb. We need height and size for our wingers. He looks good in a great side, news flash we are not a great side! We have Willet, large and Maskaski coming through. I’d save my cash for a shiller type with speed and more size and a hell of a lot cheaper.

 

[lathami]

Agreed.

I’d take Nathan Brown off Manly for 2 years and swap to Bateman.

Yeah, nah!

 

[lathami]

So he is giving up $425k over the next 2 years to leave the Dragons early …. Seems very odd

We were offering best $700,000 last season, I’d take Zlomax for $650,000 any day over best!

 

[GCfan]

It wouldn't be at 800k.
Manly will probably try to have a revised price placed on him by the NRL so a potential suitor could get him at a cut price and they wouldn't have to contribute anything.

Agree. They’d need to throw a far whack at the suitor I’d think. I forget who said it but I reckon he doesn’t fit the culture we need, hardworking fight to the end etc. don’t know the kid but looks talented but lazy

It’s an utter joke and a kick in the guts for the dragon faithful.

I’m happy to sign Shyster on a discount and let Benji try to work his magic.

As he’s been doing with a lot of our retained players. I don’t see any of them playing as badly as they did last year and before that. Not quite the consistency we need, but somethings snapped. Don’t ask me how he’s done it but I hope he continues with it.

Honestly 300k would be a good price for him. You have someone who could be a 3rd forward/prop from the bench but cover some positions in the backs.


Ofcourse it won't happen and no we shouldn't sign him. His attitude is wrong for what we are buidling.
We need to remember and keep in mind that Benji is a Rookie coach. NO PROBLEM CHILDS! That includes Latrell Mitchell.

Taumalolo at the Cowboys or someone at the Titans??

Unless Adam had a heart transplant when he got his knee done, he has no place in first grade. I've never seen a guy less interested in defending for his team other that Moses M'Bye

I was playing poker at the casino one night, no-limit. You hit pairs on the flop 1/7 or is it 8? Anyway I got to 20 fkn 2 before I cut and run. Each time saying I gotta hit this time. 🙏. But no.
I think you understand where I’m coming from but I’ll say it to make sure, I am not getting back on that Douhie train again. But Demps, I’ll always give you a lift to the station and wave you off from the platform. 👋👋👋
