"We certainly have been poor in recruitment for many many years. I certainly don't have a wrap on the current R &R committee . But it is such a tough environment . Our salary cap turmoil has our club hyper vigilant to auditing, compliance ,…"
"I think the comparison to big Ben Smith is a good one the penguin was under rated as a centre and backrower injuries cost him a couple of seasons. Samrani is pretty similar "
"It's a good point FM. I often think about a stat from the old NRL Under 20s comp (Toyota cup?). Only 5% of players in that comp went on to play more than 50 NRL games. Early hype is no guarantee of a long NRL career."
"Yeah you're right, I do say some stupid shit sometimes. Also hearing that Jenkins rumour is 100% true."

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.
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
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
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.
It just ain’t happening, not in a million years.
