Backrow has been our big weakness for years and finally things start to look brighter..and than turn to rubbish again.

Backrow is a position you need experience in, so you can’t just throw a kid in and think he will do the job

Always a chance they let him go because they had someone else lined up…but I doubt it

CHN with Papalii would be devastating as a second row pairing.

How long is he contracted to the Raiders for?

Going by zero tackle he is off contract at the end of the year 2022.

That move would have my vote of approval.

Not yet a proven first grader but definitely showed positive signs that he could well be. 

Disappointing if true! Would much rather the rumour of Garner to Manly eventuating.

From The-Pom
 
Kelma is a big loss. But Manly offer was way above dollars wise then the club was prepared to offer & also added an extra year.
Blore’s scans have confirmed an ACL injury so his season is over.
The young backrowers Nanai & Luki won’t be joining the club.
Nanai has indicated he wants to remain in QLD with Dolphins & Cowboys playing tug of war.
Knights offer is massive & not worth the trouble, if he leaves QLD it will be the Knights.
Our development players are all edge players & the club has belief in its junior stocks for this position, they will look for a semi experienced back rower to support Papalli in 2023 but believe Blore is a long term option (pending his return from Injury)

One really wonders how Manly have the wherewithal to splash the cash considering they have 2 million dollar-plus players,and a stack of highly paid top liners.Defies belief!

No, a good player but One headlock away from retirement. CHN would be better.

Des is not necessarily the best salary cap manager.

I doubt he would come back with Madge as coach.

I wish we had got TPJ.
