Don’t know how many times I’ve said it the Trbojevic brothers we should be clearing the decks to obtain. We get quality footballers to build a club around and the perfect leader in Jake
Cronk left the Storm, Tedesco the Tigers , Klemmer the dogs ,RTS the Roosters,Inglis the storm plenty more Brett who came up through junior systems who plenty thought wouldn’t leave their clubs. Money talks bullshit walks.
Cronk left Melbourne to be with his missus in Sydney.
Tedesco left the Tigers because they are a basket case.
Klemmer left the Dogs because Newcastle offered him a fortune, and the Dogs are crap.
RTS left the Roosters because he wanted to go home to NZ.
Inglis was forced to leave Melbourne because of the salary cap rort.
The Trbojevic brothers are Manly juniors, they only want to play for Manly, they are happy there, Manly will pay them more than enough to keep them there.
There is no amount of money we could prudently offer to induce them to leave Manly. We would have to offer them at least $1.5m each per year to even get their attention.
"I'm not sure we are in a position where we "need" to do anything. That's not a great place to be. If we want to be like those clubs you've mentioned we should start behaving like them, and that's what we are seeing the beginnings of right now. "
"Yes, clubs must spend a minimum 97.5% of the cap. Top 30 settled by 30 June. We have over five months to pick up handy mid-season buys like Walker or TDS last year. We aren't panicking or as desperate as we have been in the past or we would have…"
"He bought the McMansion before he had a secure contract. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.
Financial pressure mounts day by day as he remains unemployed.
Not on the Eels. Not on the Storm.
On him."
"I think by Round 1 I believe? Not 100% sure on the 97.5% question.
As for your idea of having players come to us instead of chasing. Not happening, we are not Roosters or Melbourne or Penrith where you ring their agent and they want to go…"

The two brothers would be gold . Build a club around them
Not a chance. Teddy is still comfortably better.
Turbo fits into the centres nicely, why would you move or drop Tedesco when they can both play perfectly now in the Same team.

They're not leaving Manly, not for any amount of money we could prudently offer them. Come back to planet Earth.
100% correct. They're Manly boys through and through and I'm sure they'll still be at the northern beaches team when they retire.
What a load of crap , nobody’s more Manly then Bob Fulton. Roosters anyone.
Different era, pre salary cap. Apples and oranges
