    Does Manly pack have enough Mongrel ?

    No Marty is getting old and probably done. Did not look up to it once in Week 1 & 3. For 2022 we’re basically relying on one of the other 3 props (Keppie, Paseka and Aloiai) to really step up if we are to win the comp Have said for a while we should use any and all cap space to sign Stefano...

    Clive Churchill should have gone to Stephen Crichton

    Maybe the best in game kicking display i’ve seen in a big game Because he didn’t score a great solo try or do something magical, and he is a favourite in the media, people always go “robbed!”. Simply because some people don’t see how valuable something finessed like a kicking game can be

    Harper's been so bad he needs to go

    Exactly, Rugby League is a team game. What does “how many tries do they concede” actually mean???? Serious??? Rabbitohs, Penrith and Melbournes defence is miles better... you have seen first hand they concede few tries

    Harper's been so bad he needs to go

    Also the SOO centres don’t get a look in because we have a handful of top fullbacks, maybe the largest crop of gun fullbacks we’ve seen. Both Tommy and Trell are versatile and star players. This doesn’t mean the best centres at the top sides don’t add value to their team: Campbell Graham was...

    Harper's been so bad he needs to go

    Strike centres dint need to be top try scorers. Your telling me Jamie Lyon and Steve Matai didn’t add immense value to the old Manly team, just because they didn’t make the top handful of try scorers each year? Our wingers have scored a heap of tries due to our good shape and Tommy, the former...

    Harper's been so bad he needs to go

    whether you want to persist with him or not surely no one here thinks a centre combo of harper and parker is nearly scary enough in attack? look at the rest of the top 8s centre storm - olam, smith panthers - burton, mom souths - gaigai, graham eels - penisini, blake (weaker, penisini is a gun...

    Whats happened to Cade Cust?

    This is the problem with Croker He’s been great and well deserves his spot but we really have an opportunity cost here in not giving Cust a go.

    Shortlists

    For me only two positions assuming Fainu comes back in July 1. Prop Tapine - aims up really well and is exactly what we need for the next 2-3 years. If we have the view Keppie / Paseka or one of the other young props in the squad will be a top 5 prop in a few years he'd be the perfect signing...

    Does Fainu walk back in?

    I’m sure you would hope so hahahahahah

    Does Fainu walk back in?

    Walker’s bench spot is cemented so I would just teach him how to be a 9 for 20 mins a game if possible for now He’s shown he can adapt to basically Prop, from Centre, so I back him

    Does Fainu walk back in?

    The investment isnt just in Manase It’s in his Brothers too - one of which has been back-to-back (I think) player of the year in juniors and tipped to be one of the hottest prospects coming through as an all-round footballer Brent Read was saying on Triple M we may not even need Schuster to...

    The Shoo

    On second thought i would keep him at 12 The bloke is young - he adjusted to the position well, making him learn another position at centre would just put him back to square one However i do agree with some sentiment on here of shifting him to 6 sometime through the season. However again - we...

    Deeper Analysis

    the reason for all the tackling was how poor our line speed was in the middle and on the edge. we wouldnt pressure them - we'd merely stay at our 10m and absorb their running game. that is what lost us the game IMO, and that will be the main issue for us not being one of the top 3. our...

    Does Fainu walk back in?

    After seeing him off his face on instagram live shows how dumb he is Will come back and then inevitably get in some other kind of ****

    The Shoo

    Im fine with this happening I’d just really like a centre change, we need a breath of life out there attack wise Either this, josh to centre, or burbo to centre, or if koula is ready, him centre/wing and garrick to centre

    [Resurrected] Ben Trbojevic hoping to follow in footsteps of big brothers at Manly Sea Eagles

    I would be taking a punt at Burbo to combine with Schuster on the edge, Burbo 3 and Schuster 12, they played all juniors together Parker to go Saabs side as he is good at the tough stuff and seems to get his winger more ball than Harper anyways

    Manly's spine is not good enough

    If it were me I’d be having a punt on Ben Turbo at centre to combine with Schuster at 2row. He has all the attributes, size, speed and of course the last name Put Parker on Saab’s side as Saab is more suspect in defence it seems and at doing the tough stuff than Garrick

    Tonight is the night the premiership window opened.

    Are we sure Sironen was $600k? Ive never heard that. I have heard $450k Also I think DCE at $700k is unders - theres 5-6 good 7s in todays game and we have one of them. I’d pay $900k for him. Again, thats $350k overs. Taupau on $800k next year and thats well overs I agree I think Daly has a...

    Tonight is the night the premiership window opened.

    Speaking to people who know tolu he’s apparently “by no means a centre” as is too small, so we can probably wipe that one. He’s a wing or fullback, nothing else they said. If tolu is to get into the side it probably means Garrick to centre
