On reflection I do think Myers would be a better proposition, I thought he looked strong in ressies on Sunday
[Resurrected] Bradman Best

We have to start giving these kids in Blacktown a run instead of assuming they won't cut it. At least they won't cost as much as a fringe first grader from another club who has been average at best.

Agreed, the last thing I want to see is another promising player lining up against us because he was overlooked by short sighted coaches, imo some of these guys would offer more than a few of our entrenched 'stars'

And having played in the same jersey in the juniors, you would assume they would have some sort of pride playing in it.

Or average at (Bradman) best.

If there's anyone i'd sign that is off contract, that would be Scott Sorenson. He could be the Ben Kennedy leader our pack needs.

I'd take Best if the price is right. We havent seen the best (excuse the play on words) of this kid yet owing to several injuries that have curtailed his progress. He was interested in coming to Manly before. The kid has talent and we need a better attacking centre combination if our coach is not going to see Weekes as an option. Go for it I say.

NO!!!!
Stop recruiting from sides that are outside of the 8. Especially guys that those sides are willing to cut.
Recruit players from the Storm or Rabbits. Look at the influence that Kaufusi, Bromwich's, Finucane, Mark Nicholls, Adam Reynolds have had on their sides.
Wayne Bennett understands this. Why doesn't Manly?
We have recruited the dregs from the Tigers and Saints. Now we want the Knights crap?

Scott Sorenson is off contract. He is the leader we need.
Maybe Flanno could bring him over.

A much better suggestion given his current team.
Winners win and losers keep losing.
I guess you are gambling you can "reform" him for more cost than taking a punt on someone like Meyers (hopefully the right spelling) who would be cheaper with a higher upside but less of an immediate return on investment

Best is not a Manly junior. I believe he played for Woy Woy. His dad was apparently a Manly lower grader.

Woy woy is a bit further north than manly.
His grandfather Peter Byrne also wore the maroon and white
Yes please
Would Have Scott in a heartbeat here but he won't be coming we just don't sign quality players anymore

I wouldn't blame him. The coach will be the big reason why good players won't come to the club.
