Yes, but Melbourne don't overpay to keep those guys, and don't estimate the toughness of Junior. You listen to most players and they'll tell you he's a nightmare to tackle.
Melbourne don't pay market value for anyone , apparently...... price is irrelevant, we need to do,it to win a comp. so we have to make it work. Teams don't win comps without having experienced imports in their ranks for the young blokes to learn off somewhere alone the line. Our slow as fuck development is proof of that.

The Panthers just won a title without any high priced imports. BTW, development is always slow.

Not true.
They poached Kikau from Cowboys, Korosau from Manly, Capewell from Sharks, Pangai from Broncos.
Sure they don't have as many recruits as other clubs but they still do it to patch up important gaps.
If they didn't nab Korosau or Kikau there is no way they land their premiership.

Kikau did come from Cowboys before he made a name for himself. Api was let go by Gould from Panthers at Ivan's last stint. Manly didn't want him and Cleary was happy to have Api return. Sorensen and Capewell were unwanted at Sharks. Both careers sky rocketed since joining Pennies. Homesick Capewell is the buy off the century for Broncos. Pangai was at the right place and time with nothing to do till next year. What a player sad to see them go.
"In Flegg against manly last nite we won 52-6 and played as a team. Finally. No-one had a bad game and Kade Moujalli was rated the fans player of the match. Leluai, Talagi, Hudson and Petrus were next best but Cameron Bamblett, even at 6, is a…"
"Manly under Seibold: 0-3, 60-98 (-38) vs Raiders, Knights, Chooks
Manly post-Seibold: 3-0, 118-42 (+76) vs Dolphins, Dragons, Cowboys.
Manly have doubled their points-for and halved their points-against post-Seibold. Obviously if the Eels wish to…"
"Seems it is Galvin's role at Dogs that is the issue, not necessarily Galvin per se? Galvin permanently replaced Sexton at #7 for Dogs in Round 20 of 2025. After 19 rounds going into Round 20, Dogs were 3rd (12 wins, 4 losses, 3 byes; 366 (f) vs 270…"
"Thanks mate. The Manly team are shit to be fair. They are coming last in JF with no SG ball players in the team still.
Jordan Rankin has been doing a great job recently. He deserves a massive shout out."

korisou was at souths first
Yeah Brett, "like Luke Bailey 4 Titans or Glen Lazrus 4 storm?
Or what Dallas Weston and Ray Strudwick did 4 Parra?
Getting tired of these rumours already.
It isn't a rumour, he has declined his option.
I thought this blog was a gee up, brett, but you make me fear it's true.
He was strong this year, maybe strong enough to start the window sliding shut if he leaves.
He should play where he feels most valued.
