Late Lurker Mail
@gracelands85: With Ballin linked to Tigers does that free up money for Manly or are they effectively already over the cap?
The Lurker: Manly would have to pay some of his wages so it won’t help them much
@James_Tommo69: Jack Bird to Manly rumours not going away! Also possible Steve Matai swap? #asklurk
The Lurker: No way will Flanno and the Sharks let him go - he is some talent! Not sure who you would swap for Matai? Are you talking Bird for Matai? No hope. Matai's been a great player for Manly but he's got one busted body
@reosizm: How true are the rumours Madge has lost the dressing room? Hard to believe players would suddenly start to cry bout training.
The Lurker: I wouldn't say he has lost the room but some of them are bitching about him behind his back.
Out and About
