I don't agree mate. Fainu is no where near Api as a player, Sirro was playing great alongside Daly forming a lethal combo. Parker is slow compared to Uate with no attacking threats. Plus all our players have struggled to have a season without injury. Form is temporary but class is permanent...- Holmsey

Forwards and backs are great. Problem for us is injuries, conistentcy and depth. Coaching will also go along way to fixing this.- Holmsey

No one likes us
It's always been a dumb motto. Trying to act all tough when really we deserve every thing the club gets due to the state of the club. Everything is either "fake news" or a conspiracy theory that everyone is against manly. It's all bs and it needs to be changed as the club put itself in this mess.- Holmsey

Backline is far from the worst in the NRL. T Trbojevic, Taufua, Walker, Kelly and Cherry-Evans are pretty darn good players. This backline was the same one that was sitting top 4 last year at points minus Green and Uate.- Holmsey

My off-season squad
Api is a starter. I can't believe people think he is better off the bench. One of the best 9s in the comp and you want him to play limited minuets? Api can play 80 but preferably he plays a good strong 65 to 70 and if he needs a rest have a backup. Nothing wrong with that. Luke is exactly the...- Holmsey

I keep repeating my self as do all the others who want Tom out of the fullback role. Sorry but to me that's a hypocritical comment. I'll repeat a comment if it fits the given discussion and in this case we are speaking about moving Tom which I dont think will ever and should not happen.- Holmsey

He isn't at his best but he can also use some more reliable wingers to help, better coaching and more experience. His defence is not as bad as most portray.- Holmsey

Forward Fix?
Agree to disagree but I still believe Jake must play the 80- Holmsey

Tom is fine at fullback and we have two great centre's plus Coote is pretty much done, he has lost all he had back when he was playing his best. He is a quarter of that player or less now.- Holmsey

You ask any current, former or pro if Api is a star and they will tell you he is one of the best in the game. Stop questioning my knowledge and credibility when it comes to discussing footy, just because you don't agree doesnt mean you are above me as a person or my opinion doesnt or is...- Holmsey

A NSW Cup player at best? Really? Geez 2017 and 16 must have never happened but I do remember Tom absolutely dominating at fullback, 2018 he has still been good but not at the same level and he has suffered like the team with a dip in form. Ponga is a completely different player and body type...- Holmsey

Yet again people choosing to move the rugby league discussion away from that and make it personal. I am delivering my opinion and what I have found from the professionals who have careers within or around rugby league. I am not childish because my opinion differs from that of others, and I do...- Holmsey

You do realise all these young guys will want the money all the players you want to let go in the next season had? Players salaries do rise as they become better players just in case you forgot.- Holmsey

Tom is best at fullback and you will get that through your thick hide when he is settled with a stable consistent team. 2017? Or you just going to ignore his best season? Best fullback in the game last year and you'll find a lot had him winning the daily m fullback of the year, but when...- Holmsey

Api is worth the money as is Sirro at top flight these two are marquee stars in our team too good to lose. You don't need all the money in the world to win a comp. Our current side is good enough to finish top 4 with good coaching and stability with injuries.- Holmsey

Forward Fix?
Jake isn't an impact forward though, he is a ball playing backrower who will give you a sustained 80 minute performance.- Holmsey

1 million dollar winger hahaha I'm sorry, there is no way Tom gets moved. He's too good not to be our fullback and would be wasted on the edges. Leave him at fullback, let him DEVELOP with age, experience and a good coaching staff. He will come good, (even though he is doing fine at the moment)...- Holmsey

Forward Fix?
Jake has gotta stay lock and play the 80. Tanginoa I think is still best off the bench because of the impact he can have. 8 Fonua-Blake 9 Koroisau 10 Taupau 11 Thompson 12 Sironen 13 J Trbojevic 14 Fainu 15 Tanginoa 16 Gosiewski 17 Paseka But looking at our full strength forward pack for next...- Holmsey

Manly's Best Players 2018
Taupau, Kelly, Thompson have been our standouts. The Trbojevics brothers have been good but not great. Daly has had an inconsistent season but in his great games he has been really good. Walkz and Api have been great and massive for the team when they have been available, a lot of people just...- Holmsey
