If Manu was going to resign with Roosters, why would he wait until the first three days of November to do it when he's had all year to?? He knows what the Roosters have offered and 'unofficially' know what the Warriors were 'likely' to offer.

I don’t know whether it’s us he’ll sign with, but every move the Roosters have made in the last two weeks all but confirms he’s gone.
Buzz has lost the plot.
Let’s just hope it’s not the Dolphins or Chiefs.

NAS may become available in a few weeks. He is refusing to take the Vaccine which conflicts with his ability to play in Melbourne based on the Victoria State laws. Other teams based in other states may be able to pursue him. He has until Dec 7th to change his mind.

First Signing in - Souths retain Cody Walker.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs have locked in superstar five-eighth Cody Walker on a one-year extension that will keep him at the club until the end of 2023.
The 31-year-old was one of the hottest names to come off contract at the end of next season and could have been poached by rivals had the Bunnies not moved to lock him in just as the November 1 feeding frenzy for 2023 begins.

Buzz is really putting the boot in at the moment. Firstly how lucky rhe Warriors were to have nice accommodation without a mention of the toll living in Australia and constantly shifting is having. Now trying to turn us into another Tigers with players turning us down for less money.
I suppose when his job is to be Paul Kent's tv punchbag, he tries to look for others to bully.

That’s the only thing I’m feeling there’s some hope to his article being bullshit, can’t see O’Sullivan or Bennett offering anybody $1.4 mil. Ikavalu has gone to the sharks, I think Manu will stay put.
because they had free more cash up it was said at same time they would offer considerably less figure in hope he will stay

That's one reason to like NRL360 the world gets to see how senile he is. Or he makes the statements he's always has got away with in his articles and the other guys shoot him down. Kent a couple of time this year has told him he was in la la land tonight.
Also shows how little he knows as the other guys have to correct him on how the salary cap works.
On his comments about Joey Manu if he re-signs with the Roosters he'll twist it like we are the Tigers and can't sign anyone. Even though the last two years we have been active in the market. Ok the guy responsible for that is no longer here but missing out on one signing we shouldn't be hung out to dry on.
Also saw a piece somewhere about how the Roosters were loyal to him after his injury. Give me a break he's still under contract and they want him to get better and play again.
I though I read somewhere that he has told them he wants to play in a different position. For the Roosters fullback is a not go with Tedesco and the halves they have Keary and Walker.

The money is one side of it but he’s also said he want to play in the spine. The only way I see the Roosters keeping him is if they plan to phase out Keary. The guy is one head knock away from retiring. I’m sure they would kick themselves if Keary only played another year or two and they lost Manu in the process. But then again they chose not to play Manu there when they were pressed for halves depth this year and went with Hutchison etc. Walker and Tedesco obviously have the other spots locked down for the foreseeable future.

Would be kind of random for Manu to stay with the Roosters at this stage:
1. Will be less money
2. Won’t be a spine position
3. Have signed Momo, so now have Billy Smith, Suaali there
4. Already knew we would be offering a mill for him, so why would he have waited til now if money wasn’t important and he wanted to stay at Roosters anyways.
Can’t see it happening tbh, but I guess stranger things have happened.

I wouldn't be that upset to miss out on Manu, I think he's a fullback/centre, I don't think he has the rounded game to play halves, well at a million dollar per season level anyway. I think you're right - that the roosters agree.
The only way we would get the best out of him at 6 is having a controlling and kicking 7, like Reynolds. Walsh won't move from 1, and we will be doing everything to make him happy.
He would be more of a signing to sell jerseys and get people to games, which is what the club needs, but I'm not quite sold on his on field output for $1M.

Roosters are typically near the bottom in TPAs (third lowest in 2019)
Even if he was at the Broncos or Storm who receive large TPAs, the difference would be absolutely tiny compared to the 250k salary difference he stands to lose
You are totally correct. Clearly they knew Joey's aspirations to be a spine player. This was the best season to have him in the 6 position due to all the injuries they suffered. There was nothing to be lost playing him there - they would get to have a good look at him, and he would've touched the ball alot.

Let's be honest. If you had the two deals on the table:
- SYD for $850k. Don't have to move. Familiar environment. High performance environment. Play where you are picked.
- NZW for $1m. Based in a hotel in QLD, but TBC beyond next year. Not a high performance environment. Play where you choose.

Whichever one my wife told me to.

Quick round of golf with uncle nick- $10,000 a hole and the gap is closing.
