    Optimistic for 2021

    I've had 48hrs to cool off after Saturday night and now have a surprisingly optimistic outlook on 2021. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel haha. I mean, looking forward at what I think our 2021 top 17 is (assuming injury and church dance free) it's a good team to build with: 1. T...

    Do we let Taupau go?

    AFB and Taupau are not our problem. They are a strength that are both reasonably paid for how good they are. Jake is not a prop, he is a lock. I don't understand why so many people think otherwise. Hiz strength is in his work rate and ball playing ability, not his pure go forward. After last...

    Time to GO!!!

    The only backs I'd be keeping is: Turbo Funa DCE Walker The rest are either washed up / exposed or are yet to prove anything. I feel like the forwards are good though.

    There needs to be an investigation on the clock.

    Just like they got lucky with the 2 on 1 strip try and the "forward pass" in the previous game.... Hahaha

    There needs to be an investigation on the clock.

    Agreed. It didn't make a difference in the end but it gave an opportunity. For reference, I clocked it at when the ref called time off and when the ball was played.

    Will we win another game this season?

    Loved the game last night, was all effort and determination. As devils advocate though, this is the same team as the past 3 weeks where the effort was lacking. Great to see the effort but why can we string it together Top effort. Let's hope DCE keeps taking on the line like he did. Was the...

    There needs to be an investigation on the clock.

    I spotted the exact same thing. Whilst it didn't result and any difference to the game, it gave Parra a last ditch chance off the kickoff. Otherwise it would have been game over at the last try.

    2020 Manly Squad

    I also think that the new rules have made it more critical to have the X-Factor players and younger legs in attack. Sweeping changes may not be the idea, but giving a couple of these guys a run at the very least couldn't hurt. I mean, the status quo couldn't beat the Dragons.... youth couldn't...

    Olakau'Atu

    Hows Boyles groin......? That sounds much more suspect than it should..... If hes busted give him a go off the bench I guess

    It is a similar 17 that beat Canberra. But I dont recall us scoring a point after Tom went down. Our defence shows signs of being solid, but we just cant score points. After struggling to score the boys heads go down and the flood gates appear to open. I don't know the answer, but I do know...

    Olakau'Atu

    I know a lot of guys are critical of him but I though Paseka is a player that deserves more minutes. Him and Olakau'atu off the bench for AFB and Marty wouldnt be the worst thing.

    Is the UK playing at the moment? Wouldn't be the worst idea.

    Fair cop. Was probably a overly critical of him. Lets be honest, Tom isnt going to be moved anyway.

    I haven't actually followed Fainu at all to be honest. Will need to look him up.

    Manase Fainu

    Does anyone have any idea on what is happening with his legal proceedings? Obviously out this year with a shoulder surgery etc, but I haven't heard much lately.

    2020 Manly Squad

    I think that's a big thing about the quarantine thats not really discussed right now. No reserve grade means players are coming in have not played at all for weeks if not months.

    2020 Manly Squad

    Agreed, can't pay him just based on family pedigree. I feel like DCE was great to start when Walker was available. He just is one of those players that needs a solid foil. Having said that, there aren't too many halves that can get by without a solid partner. Our forwards are easy beats at the...

    2020 Manly Squad

    I 100% agree that Tom wont be moved and it is his best position. However; with the km he racks up there he seems to be always injured because of his (soft tissue etc). As the saying goes "the best ability is availability." Tom seems to just never be available anymore. Total left field, but what...

    Ben is what 18 years old now? So I would agree he is a kid and likely wont be in the picture until next year. But to say he is not even remotely in the picture I feel might be a bit off. No unheard of for players to get a start off the bench at 18 / 19 years old. But yes, I accept your point...
