Why...I'm pretty sure if anyone is ignoring you can still see their posts/threads?

the person on my ignore list started the thread. so it just comes up as "ignored thread".

there is a work around. i have to log out enter the thread then log back in and i can post in that thread again. absolute pain, which is why i don't go into it too often

...it does make sense someone like Flegs would appeal...Manlys front row depth is very thin. I still contend though there is a price point with him where you're better off letting him leave.

I'm his biggest fan but I agree, though that said, he brings something none of our other young props bring - aggression and intimidation factor. Patty is definitely getting there with this too but Payne just doesn't have that yet, being a big pillow basically. The issue though, is that Willison hasn't kicked on as hoped due to a million injuries and Robati most likely won't be at the club much longer. Bayliss-Brow seems a plodder at best and as highly as Te Kura is rated, and goodness me his potential seems boundless, he is way too raw and way too young to be a regular front rower. Fleggs offers a LOT but certainly not million dollar a year lot. Then again though, neither does Haas frankly. And how likely is Haas to be here after his contract finishes given his previous shenanigans and moron manager?

I truly hope we keep both flegs and Herbie. I've been a herbie fan for a long time (helps I'm also a futurama fan). I loathed flegs for a while because he was constantly making errors or being penalised, but he seems to be more consistent now and controls the aggression a bit more.

I keep going back to it, but considering Staggs is signed long term, I just don’t see how we keep both him & Herbie. Cobbo will be looking to move to the centres next year and Mariner will be looking for a starting spot. Ideally we would not have got into a bidding war for Staggs, but we were weak at the time. If Staggs form doesn’t pick up we might have to make a call and shop him around.

I would be hesitant in flogging staggs off to get Mariner on the field. We have learnt when we lack experience it hurts us.

Staggs is hitting a good point of experience and as long as he performs adequately he may bring other bonuses to the table.

This

One big bonus that Staggs brings to the table is that the opposition know how dangerous he is, so him just being there opens up more space for Cobbo

This is a big year for him though...

Can he stay healthy when the team needs him most?

Can he develop a level of consitency in his game?

Can he live up to his contract? At the moment he is under performing relative to the money paid.

At his best, he is one of very few genuine strike centres in the game...

I want him to stay too...for the right money.

He keeps showing glimpses...but also makes mistakes which are costly.

At a minimum, this year i'd like to see the gap between those 2 narrow.
 
We arent keeping Flegler, Carrigan and Haas. Lets face it, Haas will want over a million, Flegler is probably looking at $800k and will have a deal at Manly for that amount and Carrigan is worth more than the pair of those so we are going to have to give him a massive upgrade on his $450k a year deal. With His performances and development he's going to be in the million a year bracket if Payne is. We cant carry probably the best part of 3 million of our cap on prop's.

Especially if Jensen can be held onto on a low wage. Willison, Te Kura. All good teams have a base that they build their pack around and then squeeze value out of youth or value buys.

I'd happily ditch Flegler if it meant keeping Herbie, Carrigan and Haas. Flegler always reminded me a bit too much of Lodge in the way that he plays.
 
That is great news, very happy to hear it, he is one of those aforementioned great bargain buys. Given Willison has stunted and due to injuries may never kick on, plus most likely losing Robati, Palasia moving on and Taupau not getting any younger, he will continue to get a lot of games.
