I've been told a part-exchange deal with Manly



Wasn't he due to become a father though? Not sure what has happened about that

Part exchange with who, Luke Burgess?



More fool any NRL club that takes him on. The conduct rules over there would see him spending most of the season sat in the stands.

Sir James Lyon please

Twitter by plenty.

or Brett Stewart remains a class act. My glass is half full of amber nectar.



If I switch it for luke warm badger slash, perhaps Bobby Kostanothin, the utterly unknown manly 5th choice hooker of Lithuanian extract is more likely.

If we were doing a swap deal I've seen that Manu Vatuvia is possibly on his way out or the Warriors and he has been linked with super league could it be a swap deal with Hardaker if true?

If 'Mariorugby' has posted it, I believe there's more chance of him going to the NHL...... We're we not signing a Catalan player not too long back? Bosc was it?

His interview for today's evening post hardly stunk of someone about to leave either 'we won't throw in the towell' 'we can't be down all the time'........ End of they year I can see it happening maybe, but rumours doing the rounds are for an immediate release which I can't imagine is true, if it is, despite his performances this season, that'd indicate we're ready to stick in with Golding, which would really tell you we have thrown in the towel, as he is currently of middle 8 quality Max!

Luke Burguess is out of contract at the end of this season and cant see any nrl club wanting him so no swap deal needed to sign him

Luke Burgess has in part become a casualty of Sam going to RU. That broke the whole rationale behind Souths trying to keep all the brothers together. Had Sam not left Luke would probably have stayed under (cheap) contract at Souths for a while as the PR value was huge.

I think Hardaker has the Ability to do well in the NRL but his general immature attitude and self destruct nature means he is a ticking time bomb over there.

The owners of Manly were GH's invited guests at the magic weekend. Any chance this rumour has just sprung from their visit somehow?
