I’ve heard rumblings a rival Sydney club is ready to make a big play at Garrick for 2027 - and potentially earlier.
Hinges on a few other dominoes to fall, but don’t be shocked if Reuben puts pen to paper before New Years.
It would likely signal a permanent return to the wing.
Did some research and a number of Manly fans are adamant and convinced Garrick is gone & coming to Parra. Obviously means Zac Lomax is gone and off to R360

If lomax is gone, what the fuck is Vlandys doing, not putting bans in or compesating us for it. Fuck the NRL man.
Well what can he actually do? All he can do is sue them for breach of contract, even then not worth the hassle. Not like yoh can arrest them if they leave the country for R360.
You say we will ban you and he will say "great, I'll take my $3mil a year". What can V'Landys actually do? At the end of the day if you were offered 10x what you are on now with a new mob doing the same job you are currently doing, you saying you wouldn't take it? Not the NRL's fault.
Also with compensation, how is that going to be? Added to our cap? If so I think many other clubs would be pissed as we would be if it happened to them not us.
We could do worse - he's no Lomax, but he does kick and can handle a wing.
Far out it's annoying to lose Lomax though, I mean I get it and I don't blame the guy at all, but can Parra please start getting a bit more luck going our way? It's enough that we've made a heap of bad decisions in R&R, we don't need bad luck thrown into the mix as well.
To many rumours right now but one things for sure if we do lose Lomax that's a disaster for us an absolute disaster.While Garrick has versatility he doesn't bring that physical presence needed in the back 5.Heaven forbid if Lomax is gone we need to find a yardage guy.
