Recruitment and retention

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Didn't he spend the advance on his contract on a swimming pool? Hence the difficultly getting out of the contract as they wanted the $$ back

Yes. The Dragons gave him an advance to pay for a house, out of his salary.

So leaving early, meant he was paid, for what he wouldn’t be doing. Therefore, an early release was an issue.

lol sounds like molo deal still up in air as club realised more than what they wanted will go of the cap ( and shane still wants him seems its club issue not a coach issue )

Tried to pull a swifty over the Dragons but they caught on. Oh well, I don't think anyone is that fussed about him.

 

[mr_c]

Think the drags had to much coming outta there cap than they thought

Yep the deal might not go through, because he owes them 100k or something.

no its the fact they have take more outta the cap ( dragons end )

Don't really care. We don't need another aging journeyman. Not against signing him, just don't really care.

Me too. I’m hoping it falls through. Dodging a massive bullet.

He has been poor for them.

I'm hearing from today's game from a sauce.
Not sure if he was talking sh#t

But molo signing for Tigers.
Apparently he was at the game today seen with tigers team.

Again not sure if true.
But time will tell.

Finau Latu.

 

[mr_c]

Finau Latu.

yes hes one we looking at but belive there is atleast 2 from tigers one was playing one is a junior

 

[Dolph]

Finau Latu.

Another lock? Gilbert, Plath, Knowles from next year and some Dragons lower grader who is apparently also a lock. I think this rumour isn't true. He's 18 and probably a gun but another lock is the absolute last position we need.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

I thought he was a half. I’m dumb though.

Will see mate.
Time will tell.
I'm not saying either way.
Just repeating what I was told.

With your statement you know different.!

DCE not staying at Manly. Get this deal done!!!!!

And what happens to Katoa?

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

And what happens to Katoa?

He plays 5/8th. Learning from DCE.

Katoa is going to be a gun. I am so high on his potential, I think he is going to g to be the number half when he matures.

 

[Dolph]

DCE not staying at Manly. Get this deal done!!!!!

I don't think signing a 36 year-old is a good move. Plus Katoa is our halfback. Need to strengthen other positions.

Forget the romantic homecoming, I honestly can't see DCE coming to the Dolphins. Do you really think he's going to uproot his wife and kids for a two-year deal in Qld with a club that won't be a serious GF contender in that time? Redcliffe might be DCE's home but his kids are Sydney born and bred - it's where their schools are and their friends are. If he leaves Manly (and I hope he doesn't) then the Roosters are the only real option - they'll remain in their home and he'll make the trip from the Northern Beaches each day for training
