Can Manly win the comp without Turbo

[HK_Eagle]

Manly can win the premiership without Turbo
Our only limitations are the ones we set up in our own minds

Well, we might need to start by releasing the Turbo, so we can buy reliable players who will turn up. You can’t keep millions on the sideline and expect to make important changes.

If we release Turbo to the Roosters Turbo will Rise to his best once again and Root Manly
Releasing our Biggest Star Turbo would be Manlys Biggest Catastrophic Gamble

No, that is the fantasy narrative that plays out in your head. What evidence do you present to support that argument? His injury history?

Bull****. On real stats he will go on to be an in and out talented freak whom can’t be relied on.

We let Bozo go to the Roosters and then we won the comp

Everything is possible when we have hope at Manly
And when we have a fit Turbo coming back to his best
Manly have more hope to win the comp

 

[Rosko]

We are nowhere near winning the comp with Turbo. Without him, more chance of winning the Spoonbold.

Hey Bozo… Parker out runs the cripple Turbo easily.

 

[jbb/james]

We were not going to even make top 4 with him.

we have way more issues than fullback

 

[Lyons2beaver]

Get Tooves as assistant coach
Player swap 2 x duds for Jack Bird
Get RTS for rest of season for fullback,
Avoid the spoon and maybe sneak into the 8 !

Sure Tom is a big chunk of salary cap and a Star player, but this team has plenty of other great players and plenty of other supposedly good potential players.
They seem to perform at full strength and Tom is "Always" the go to man and as the best player in the team, I get it.
But it's about time these other players stood up and showed some fight.....like the 2019 side without Tom, actually went into finals and at long odds toppled Sharks in week 1....where is the fight in these blokes ?
Well here's the opportunity, there's no Tom in a Superman cape coming back, so it's a good opportunity to see who actually wants to stand up and represent Manly in the biggest time of need.

The problem is we play moneyball every season to keep DCE and Tom so we can't afford another top line back. If Toms contract was less we could have gone hard for Gutho when he was off contract and used him at 5/8 or centre then he could have slotted into fullback for the 16 games Tom misses every year, instead we watch Morgan "roadkill" Harper get run over the top of. We need to keep Tom thats a non negotiable but his salary needs a massive adjustment.

 

[double hoops]

We are more than half way through the season, and there is just zero basis for the thinking we could win the comp this year with Turbo. Never mind without him.

 

[Uber Eagle 72]

Yes, provided all teams except the dogs, dragons and tigers are disqualified for salary cap breaches

 

[LeonardCohen]

The first 100 minutes of the season gave me hope that we'd turned a corner. The defence was full of energy and brutal. Then the Eels put on a few tries and that's been the theme of the season; leaking points. Very disappointing. I don't think we even make the 8 with Turbo fit.
