I wish a signing would happen qik, but rekon Maloney and hodgo will all back themselves to perform and further drive $$$$ and not commit for atleast 2-3 months .. Sandow and seezer will committ qik to a club to secure their future.

Sezer said before the season started he won't be signing anywhere for a while, wants to concentrate on having a decent year first and foremost.

They will have to choose if they want to play under flanno or toovey. Easy decision for me.

Neither.

Doesn't sound as though Toovey will be at Manly next year if you believe the whispers.

Yeah good point. I suppose having DCE could also entice him to stay if they can pay him what he wants.

While Maloney has played halfback he isn't a natural halfback and he tends to fade in and out of games.

To get the best out of Barba you need a dominate halfback who will know what play is on when to kick it when to pass it etc. Maloney ain't that man. Hodkinson imo is the man we need to get the best out of Barba.

I agree with you here Hamsy. Maloney is definitely a second receiver type of player with a great running game. I think he could possibly make the move, but considering Hodko is already a half and has played a lot of football with our hooker and 5/8 he'd be my first pick.

I'm terrified we are going to end up with Mortimer.

Hodkinson is the man for us. Good kicking game, great under pressure, great goal kicker. He is the James Faulkner of rugby league. Passing game is getting better and better. Put on a great cut out pass for a try last weekend. I like Maloney, but for our side, Hodkinson suits perfectly. You don't need the best half back in the comp to win one. Look at the Cowboys. The money we save on buying Hodkinson over Cherry-Evans, buys us another decent player. We need Hodkinson.

"(From Flanno) We're committed to Jeff Robson, Robbo's been a great player for the club and he's going to decide if he runs around against next year. If he does it will be for the Sharks. We're just going to take a deep breath and look out for a half next year."


Abandon all hope of getting a new halfback in 2016.
