Napa is the sort of player we don't need - banned every other week. Imagine... Napa, Evans, Reynolds, Gale, Sao and Connor together, the match review panel would be relocating to hull

Newcastle chasing Rueben Garrick to play full back in 2023, which would push Ponga to 6. Must be planning to be without Clifford

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Tue Oct 25, 2022 8:10 pm  

be a big boost if we can get clifford,not only a good half back,but a decent goalkicker too.

Tony Smith signed Drinkwater for Rovers if I remember correctly, but according to most, he underwhelmed big time. Be a good player to have as an option though if nothing materialises down under.

Signed ahead of the 2019 season when Sheens was still in charge, played half a season (roughly) under Smith before returning to Catalans.

Always thought he was reasonably solid for Rovers, given that we spent 2019 fighting relegation - wasn’t one of the ones most to blame for that imo. Did have a couple of ropey games - including one after I’d been sticking up for him, iirc. Suffered by comparison with how good some people imagined Chris Atkin might have been if he’d have been picked instead.

The swap deal between Brooks and Klemmer is off ... Maybe that puts our deal with Clifford in jeopardy.. https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/the-mole-d ... ca2f033ea1

We are still relying on Newcastle signing a new pivot, makes certainly a bit of a risk.

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Wed Oct 26, 2022 7:04 am  

Manly desperate to keep Garrick, how long can we afford to wait for Newcastle to say if they will release Clifford or not, is it time to look for an alternative option?

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Wed Oct 26, 2022 7:58 am  

Garrick wants to play FB but won't be at Manly. Ponga is moving to 6 at Newcastle.....
