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 did modern day as 1998 onwards as I didn't see them play, as some here haven't. Where I believe majority of people here have seen all the modern day players play.
Plus it frees up some spots like we all know who 5/8 will be but now no idea."
"Old vs New. Pre 1998 Eels best team wearing the original Gold Jerseys vs post 1998 Eels best team wearing today's Blue jersey. The best from both eras playing against each other in a virtual stadium online. Jack Gibson coaching Gold, Brian Smith…"
"He played 134 of his 264 games as a winger. Didnt complain once like a Lomax when required on the wing. Was a team man through and through. He deserves to be in the Modern Day Best Eels team somewhere. Perhaps now that we have 6 interchange players…"
" I understand the modern day theory. It has to be the players that would work in the modern day game, But the theory should include how a player from the say 80s would perform given the modern day technology and training regime.
You cant simply…"

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
