Manly forward Addin Fonua-Blake wants out of Sydney - so where will he land next? 👀 NRL 9WWOS
on "compassionate grounds", on the condition that Manly "receive fair and reasonable compensation".
The 24-year-old still has two years remaining on his Manly contract but the move will see him suit up for a different club from 2021. The Brisbane Broncos were ruled out of the race due to limited cap space and according to reports, the Warriors have tabled a $2.5 million offer to the Tongan international.
But former Bronco Sam Thaiday believes he should still consider his Queensland options, with the Gold Coast an attractive option. "From what I've heard he's requested a release because he doesn't want to raise his kids in Sydney. I'd love to see him stay at Manly - he's been fantastic for them - but he wants out," Thaiday told"The Warriors are chasing him hard but I'd love to see him actually at the Gold Coast Titans.
"He brings that aggression factor as well. We'll see what happens, that'll play out over the next week or so and we'll see where he goes next year, but any team would be lucky to pick up a forward of his calibre."that any club that gets to sign Fonua-Blake would get a "world-class" player that could be a huge game-changer.
