Manly about to offer Maloney big $

[Johnny Tobin]

In my view the whole concept of the 20's competition is a joke. It doesn't provide a proper pathway for our players unless they are elite players such as RTS, Taumololo, Johnson and their ilk.

If we lose Maloney, I would be making a huge play for Aiden Sezer

I think they will both end up at Manly.

And 20's is a joke. It's all about attack. At our recent season launch one of the coaches said that a certain player will spend some time in the 20's "to learn how to attack". They don't care about defence.

It went to the party of the first part.

Wrong, everybody knows there ain't no sanity clause. My mother told me that when I was 8.

What a load of shit.... They are all taught defence well before 20's but don't get to spend the time an NRL player/team gets to work their game, the 20's exposes the players that best suits the talent and future needs of the clubs NRL playing group.

Thanks for taking the time to set it straight coach.

Maloney's reaction on Fox Sports last night suggested otherwise.

[Johnny Tobin]

I didn't see it. What happened?

[Johnny.]

He basically said he wanted to stay. Manly will go for Sezer or maybe Hodgkinson to replace Cherry-Evans.

[Johnny Tobin]

I know he wants to stay but I don't think it will happen - cap wise.

parra still firm on foran and I think the nrl as backers for the titts will sway the dce factor for the titts.lots of 2V shit at manly

[Newcroosters]

After watching tonight's game Maloney will be offered an absolute shiteload, if you don't have the forwards you have very little chance as a half to dominate. I'd say Foran to parra, he wouldn't want to hang around with that rabble

[SConcierge]

Hopefully Manly can keep either Foran or DCE, and then go for Sezer instead who i believe is also off contract. It would be a big blow to lose Jimmy, he compliments Pearce's game perfectly and i'm not sure if Hastings will be ready this time next year. Another 2 years with Jimmy would be perfect.

Manly will keep foran and get a lower tier half they cant affort to pay 2 top dollar halves they have NO forwards!!!!

Lets hope that's the case, because if they lose Foran as well Maloney is as good as gone.

[roosterproud]

dce to the titts, and foran with a quad tear. going to be a long season for mandy. my tip is 2v will be the first coach sacked this year...

[Bigchook]

In any case I don't think Jimmy will be signing anything until we see what happens with foran. Which means hopefully we get the absolute best out of Jimmy in the meantime as he's playing for his salary. However, if foran goes as is suggested, it will be next to impossible to keep Jimmy. Manly will throw the sink to get at least one top tier half. Hard to compete if we are offering around 450-550 and they'd have the money to double that. Hell I wouldn't stay anywhere for double my salary elsewhere.

[Johnny Tobin]

Now I wouldn't be surpised if they did give him another couple of years. Though it would cost us another player.
