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.
We all would love Lomax to stay but if his mind isn't on Parra then no point in forcing the bloke to stay. Great player but if he wants to move on then so be it
That's bullshit Eli and whats more why are you guys so focussed on Lomax. If you think the NRL are going lie down and not enforce the contracts then you do not understand Vlandys at all.
He doesn't roll for a "he wants to move so be it".
What about the other players that will be breaking contracts, one way or another Vlandys will make it hard and futuristically uncomfortable for any player breaking a contract.
This whole process is going to be negative at every national association level and a lot of legal fees will be accruing, whose going to pay legal costs, this is not a players association supported process!
He's a good player but if his mind isn't on the job then I don't see a reason in keeping him. Plenty of other nrl players who will jump at the chance of playing first grade. But we don't know what his headspace is at the moment so we have to wait and see
Vlandys will definitely make it difficult, keen to see how it plays out 😂
I don't reckon Lomax Will leave. It would be great to Lomax and Garrick as the wingers
I cannot see any reason why we should be chasing Garrick......he is in twilight years anyway, he offers nothing for us other than being a Gerringong boy! Yes is a good player but does he meet the prime directive?
I am getting the perception that each and every player that is leaving a club is Parramatta bound.
What's that word about being a development club, by all means chase players where we perceive a lack of experience and have no one suitable developmentally coming through.
