Just out of curiousity, say we had the same 3rd party deals, could we have afforded to pay Foran what Parra are giving him? Hypothetically

LOL at the mentions of Sandow. One good game for every 5 bad ones.

I just hope to god we are balls deep in the negotiations for DCE going to the tits early and us taking Seizer freeing up the cap space for them.

If DCE goes to the tits early it would mean Manly taking Sezer I reckon.

As much as I don rate sandow very highly, I actually think he would go alright in our team.

My first choice half to partner Barba would be Maloney
second would be Hodgkinson.

Both have good long kicking games and can organise well.

Sandow needs to be behind a big pack which can create room, has a few off loads in them and can protect him in defence. I really think we could adjust our side to suit his style if we can't get either of the first two.

700 K for Maloney or Hodgko 2-3 year Deals
500k for Sandow 2 year deal

Sandow would light our team up and bring razzle dazzle like beating players and chipping over the top

Flanno would never have it

It would be interesting to see how we would go with Barba and Sandow in the halves, with holmes at full back...untie their reigns and just let them play..we would have some high scoring games.

I don't get the love for him here. He is seriously overrated.
****s on everything we have had since kimmorley

won't see him going for the touch finder with 5 mins on the clock and trailing either

Everyone is talking about Barba being the live wire and while I don't dispute the he has also been showing a temperament for selective running and pristine timing of passes. A player like Sandow would take some pressure of Barba and perhaps let him evolve his game in a somewhat different direction

I dislike Manly immensely but even I'm feeling a bit sorry for them right now.

DCE jut said Manly offered him a deal he was going to accept last October but management changed and their revised offer was vastly inferior. So I don't feel sorry for them, in fact **** 'em.

What would be hilarious is if fans etc drive the club to shop dce out now, then manly win the spoon this year.

Yea who cares, Manly have enough premiership trophies to polish with their tears and they are likely to still slap us silly when we play them later this year

I think its time to make Maloney a good offer now.

I think Mitchell Pearce will play himself back into the NSW # 7 on current form.

Taking into account the selectors preference for club combinations, Maloney will go along for the ride. His form is also very good.

His star will rise over the next 8 weeks, and so will his price tag.

He has what we need , lets make a move.

Stated on Sterlo that Cronulla and Manly making a Play for Hodkinson

No. Hooper said that with dce and foran done, hodkinson is the hot property and will likely leave dogs. He said expect manly and cronulla to have a go at getting him
