Caleb Navale

[Brookie1973]

Really stood out by just running hard and straight, which says something about the rest.

 

[Eagle 1]

Why did Seibs take him off so early and bring him on so late? Easily looked to be our most impactful middle.

Would of loved to see him do some power carrys on the edges, hopefully he get picked for next week.

 

[Cochrane]

It's fair to throw him in for the remainder of the season with a fair amount of game time and see how he goes with a view to whether he can bring something to 1st grade in 2026.

 

[KaZa]

He will be great for the next coach. Big potential.

I heard we are looking to move him on to get another reserve grade winger on the books

So obvious how much energy Navale added instantly....actually would fight to play that ball quickly, whereas these other Manly players "forwards and backs" - especially Garrick, just look at the ref throwing their arms around and looking at the ref, you get a penalty just working hard to play it - not beg for more porridge like Oliver Twist.
If Navale is not picked and doesn't play 50 + minutes, these coaches at Manly are trying to lose footy games.

I liked what I saw last night. Especially willing in defence and fast laterally - unlike all of ourforwards bar Ola.

Will Spoony give him another go on the bench? Bloody hope he does.

Good to see a few more people opening their eyes to Navale.

Pity our coach is not one of them.
