That was a fair ressies team on paper too. I think we should be looking at some of those young raiders.

They have some good young players in their team, Noah Martin would be a good pickup, plays an edge and has some skill.

Not sure what the difference will be re results,if they revert back to a MWSE reggies team.Manly have never really cared/succeeded in reserve grade.

That's a fair hit out. Very good stats in a well beaten side.
Does he look the same shape?
He was starting to look a little prehistoric the way props are evolving these days, but the bicep injury at least gave him a few more months of running, post-ACL injury.
So surely our trainers have been able to get him in decent nick, just in case he's needed in first grade.
The haircut?
I saw Lodge when I was walking out of the ground yesterday and they had just finished warming up outside and were heading in for kickoff. I thought he looked fit and lighter, more V shaped. I actually had to check the League Live app to make sure it was him.
Three misses don't inspire me with confidence. Him and Sipley's slowness and arm-grabbing cost us the Dolphins game earlier in the year.

Synergy.
At least the reserve grade would train, play and feel connected to the Manly Warringah area. Plus they would be closer to world class beaches to soothe their aches.
It would give we fans a chance to watch them play at Brookie more.
Frankly, the results couldn't be much worse so I can only see an upside with "keeping it local".

I only spoke about the results,which is what most people get upset about.Of course it would be better if they were all under the same umbrella but it still won’t make a difference to how they perform on field
It's not proving to be the flourishing nursery ground supplying us first grade quality players. Seems more like the waiting room to either go somewhere better or give it away. Then again we've never had decent reserve grade teams. Seems the worse they go the better 1st grade goes this year so keep it up BWSE.
I don’t thinking there is room for both Sipley and lodge at manly. We have enough of those body types. I would chose lodge and release Sipley. Sipley has the potential to be very good but has never looked fit to me and really struggles moving laterally. Just my thoughts
This game not on Foxtel tomorrow, a big game for a couple of players to push for selection next week in Simpkin, Sipley and Lodge..
