    wingers

    With Wolfman / Blair / Gutherson released, we've gone from having too many wingers to looking a bit light on in that position (not that either did much last season). Assuming Lyon moves to 5/8, Hiku to centre, and Tom T on wing, our reserve outside backs are Moltzen/ Williame / Satini...

    Anymore signings?

    Many on this forum have rightly complained about our lack of power forwards. I have high hopes our new strength and conditioning team can boost our power/speed across the park. ie everybody is noticeably bigger, faster and more agile at start of season, and no fatties. None of this starting slow...

    Anymore signings?

    What about Tom Symonds.. surely he's in top 25. Burgess too.

    Moltzen

    I think he could be our recruitment 'find' for 2016, despite all the negativity, for a few reasons: 1. With Gutho gone (assuming Killer is 5/8) he is our first specialist reserve back. That means a lot of NRL. 2. West Tigers are hopeless. Look at how well Blair is playing after leaving to join...

    Bargain buy props needed

    Unless we have a major prop signing in the wings after finals, we look very short upfront. Assuming Vave/Andrews/Baker/Burgess etc go, our front row stocks by my count are: Myles Jake Lussick Starling Lawrence Jesse SL Addison Knight That won't scare too many packs. Lawrence coming back from...

    Small pack in 2016?

    It's possible we could have the comp's smallest pack next year, if we go with: Jake / Api / Myles / Mateo / Symonds / Buher + Brown / Lawrence / Lussick / Parcell. Still a great pack.. very mobile, good ball players .. but would have liked a giant power forward or two to balance the...

    What's killing our go-forward

    There are lots of obvious reasons for our poor go-forward this season compared to previous years: few Monster props, an ageing pack, to many small backrowers etc. I'll add another factor: Ballin passes too deep to our forwards. His passes to DCE etc are mostly great; deep and just in front of...

    Which props do we let go

    Assuming we sign Lussick, in addition to Myles, we have far too many props for 2016. Who do we let go? For mine, it's: - Hasson - Andrews - Vave - Mason - Baker That leaves: - Myles - Lussick - Jake T - Burgess - Lui - Lawrence (he should play backrow) - Starling - Sao - Jesse SL - Addison D

    Jake and Ligi

    Am super impressed how Jake is not following the usual approach when young props come into first grade: try to show everyone how tough you are, give away penalties, make silly mistakes and get injured. He is smashing people with textbook-like tackling, particularly on tryline, having efficient...

    Hiku

    Has anybody noticed how many penalties HIku gets for us. Seems to generate more penalties than any other Manly player, particularly in our half. Would love to see stats on this. I suspect it's due to his late footwork and size. Half slices through lines, gets up quickly, defenders try to keep...

    Strength and conditioning

    Fellow Eagles, I loved the win last night but am concerned about the sheer physical development of Storm, Eels and other teams. Both sides looked noticeably bigger across the park. Storm forwards, in particular, looked huge. Manly seems to have barely changed in size over off-season, excluding...

    Kite

    Anyone like the thought of Brent Kite returning to Manly for a final season in 2016? Assuming Mason goes this year, Kite's experience would be very handy - not to mention a Manly great finishing where he should. Imagine Kitey helping young Jake / Sao develop.

    Ageing roster

    Am sick of references to Manly's ageing roster and implications it it is a reason why Foran could leave. Yes - Mason, Stewart, Matai and Lyon probably have 2-3 more seasons in them (Mason less). Ballin can play on for several years, as can Lawrence, as he started late. And a big chunk of our...
