Other wingers off contract othere than perrett and oldfield are Bulldogs(bryson goodwin,steve turner),gold coast(phil graham),Cowboys(ashley graham),Panthers(sandor earl),Tigers(matt utai,lote tuquiri),

some of these guys gotta be better than the rubbish wingers we currently have.

Ash graham is current leading try scorer at 13 tries and has good defence
matt utai has been going well

Your thoughts?

Get stuffed. Oldfield is the worst. We will spend a ****load on wolfman and he will play half the season. I would definately throw money at Perrett but, solid, consistant, team player. I would also love Nightingale here too. Perrett and Nightingale on our wings would be heaven

how is he the worst? he is big , strong and fast. He showed on friday night he can simply finish off what his inside men set up and that's what we need.

ash graham would be such a good buy again a solid defender and a great finisher exactly what we need. Utai is useless he has gotten phased out by big wingers

Oldfield, graham and perret would benefit the squad and I would defs take earl on a cheapish contract. He is an upgrade on some of our backs. Also tafua from manly is apparently off contract, he would be a good pickup.

But tbh we have to go all out for jennings and then if best can be re signed he could do a job on the wing for a season while we make briscoe a major target.

I really doubt that Panthers have even thought about releasing Jennings

Opeth, you really have to wonder if it's all been one big ploy by Gould to put a rocket up Jennings without ever intending on flicking him. Wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah mate the more the situation goes on the more I think this way , they would be retarded to let him go but I hope Gould is as stupid as I think he is.

Doe sanyone know how much the transfer fee would be? he would be a much needed and great addition to the squad.We are doomed if we don't get any solid backs for next year.

Champion, If i played outside Lyon I would score ****loads of tries too. You are a fool.

Ahh yes nice one, resorting to name calling.

You still haven't answered my question, so tell me, why is Oldfield hopeless?

Considering it seems that we aren't building for the future anymore and are looking to win it while gal is around, these are the players that could be an asset to us.

centres- maurice blair
fullbacks/wingers- ash graham, jorge taufua, brett stewart, luke burt, michael oldfield, sam perrett, steve turner, david williams
halves depth- ben jones, luke kelly, carlos tuimavave, liam foran, jacob miller, jordan rankin, maurice blair

-Obviously centre is a weak point atm in this years off contract players. We've got flash so this shows me that he should play centre if we don't re sign best. Blair is a very good player who would be good as a starting centre and backup 5/8.

-There are plenty of wingers/fullbacks. We should have the cash to snap up 2 of them. There is no way stewart, wolfman, taufua and oldfield are staying at manly. Stewart is long odds so one of the wingers would have to be on their way out, we need to jump on them now. All would be an improvement to our starting side.

- We are desperate for a backup 5/8 and maybe even halfback if the robson thing is true. I've said it before jacob miller is a future star imo, as is rankin. Rankin gives great utility value in 3 positions. He also has alot of potential. The rest minus foran are young guys who can develop as depth players and maybe even one day force their way into the starting team. Tuimavave is a good young player, might be in line to replace maloney though???

nice work but you are waisting your time !!! sharks do not sign backs !!! Interestingly we have asked Colin Best to play another year. That tells me we don't have any plans to sign big

Yep it seems this way but these are the players we NEED. Some very realistic targets aswell.
