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 thinking that at least some of their squad will be locals and as such have to pay PNG tax.

"The government of the day (regardless of the side) won't rip this up - it'll run the course for the 10 years now. Unless you're Trump diplomatic agreements run to term, regardless of governments changing. This is 100% locked in."
"Chief, you keep mis-representing the Utoikamanu-Alvaro situation. Alvaro was re-signed by Parra before he won the KT medal in 2018. He was our most consistent player in a terrible season. That extension was until the end of 2019 with a single…"

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
