i think the NRL helping us could be as simple as letting potential sponsors know we will 100% be around.

could be as much as trying to actively find them, but either is ok with me. just need to remember it when they help the raiders land elgey or some future star.

Manly halfback Daly Cherry-Evans meets with Titans officials on Gold Coast

GOLD Coast’s attempt to lure Manly’s Daly Cherry-Evans to the Titans appears to have gathered steam with the in-demand halfback visiting the NRL club on Monday.

Cherry-Evans made a flying visit to Titans headquarters for talks with officials and to check out club facilities as the bidding war for the 25-year-old heats up.

The Titans are reportedly set to offer the Queensland and Australia representative a three-year, $3 million deal to join them when his current deal expires at the end of the 2015 season.

Cronulla and Parramatta are believed to be among other clubs courting Cherry-Evans.

The playmaker’s manager Gavin Orr confirmed Cherry-Evans had spent the day on the Gold Coast as part of ongoing negotiations.

“He was just checking out the facilities and infrastructure of the place and seeing if they wanted to present something to him from the board,” Orr said.

“He’s only interested in the club’s that he thinks he can improve and they’re one of the clubs.” The Titans are desperate to land Cherry-Evans, with the reported deal offered eclipsing that given to Scott Prince when he became the club’s first marquee signing before their inaugural NRL season in 2007.

Titans coach Neil Henry has already dined with Cherry-Evans in Sydney and said he would be a huge asset for the club.

“He would be tremendous for us,” Henry said earlier this month.

“He’s certainly an experienced player now. He’s got great leadership and he can get a team around the park.”

id love to know his take on the demountable training boxes. a drawcard im sure.

[DavidBouveng]

no matter what happens here, this is good for the comp that he tours GC.

We all know the tactic players and managers use to bump prices by appearing interested in a change of clubs. its very 2003, and old hat now.

The more advanced tactic is a club driving the price up, so that the opposing club retains the star, but cant offer its next tier player / players what they need. example - we are chasing DCE openly, but maybe matai or peta hiku on the quiet. We make loud noises with our left hand so they pay a premium to keep DCE, while our right is working on players who are soon to be squeezed out for lack of funds.

the other effect of this as a whole, is that if ALL clubs are ensuring that the top players are offered big money contracts forcing the club to pay top dollar to retain said star, it impedes their ability of signing or keeping some $200k player, as Foran is now demanding $900k to stay instead of his $700k worth because 'the bulldogs will go to $900k.'

everybody wins...except fans and clubs lol.

I've never agreed with a draft before as per what the AFL do but this is giving me the sh1ts. Have I missed the 2015 season because everyone seems to be talking about 2016. Instead of a draft I would prefer that no player negotiations take place until after the Grand Final but could we rely on clubs/managers to play by this rule - no chance. So a draft it has to be, and this garbage about players needing to know well in advance to plan their lives is rubbish. If I was offered a job interstate I would get 6-8 weeks max to get packed and move which is ample time.
If you think I am only raising this because it's Manly - dead right. But look at it on the other foot - if some club was circling William Zillman for 2016 and he hasn't even played QCup in 2015 most Titans fans would be ........oh well bad example, but you know what I mean.
