Weidler Reporting that Manly Signed Matt Lodge on a train and trial.

What a joke.

 

[Dash]

Which trial matches will he be playing in?

 

[Mustafur]

It's basically the Development contract for Senior players, like what we had Te Marie Martin on last season.

Te Maire was on a development deal - the player you maybe thinking of is Zac Hosking.

Te Maire Martin Signs One Year Development List Contract With Broncos

Talented playmaker Te Maire Martin is making an exciting return to the NRL, after a bleed on the brain in April 2019 tragically cut his career short at only age 23.

Good luck agianst all of our respective adversaries this round to all our fellow elite club forumers.

Woo thank god a early sat game

I feel like we are ripe for a poor performance and hope I’m wrong. So many injuries and Haas doing what Haas does at this time of year, plus given his heavy links to the Bulldogs and then getting players back and Sexton having a history of playing well against us, as well as us sucking in day games - just not feeling it. Hope I’m wrong.

I don't see any Haas links to the Bulldogs ... except media "speculation" and these guys are the second last guys on the planet who I would rely on for accurate information...
