After the last 12 weeks of 2020 and the first 4 weeks of this season I thought we had to look at a massive overhaul and rebuild.. we had ZERO depth and Des was not up to the modern game.. I wasn’t the only one thinking that.. the so called professional press experts were constantly reminding us..
Fast forward 8 weeks and we now or rather Des now has a problem....
We have too many in form first grade NRL players, who have all put their hand up and deserve to be in the 18 let alone 13.. how do we fit them in....
With Sirro, Shuster and Keppie all due back in the next week or two. Add to that After a long time out Suli and Walker look as good as I’ve ever seen them.
Harper, Hamouli and Lawton are shining lights Big Toff, Crocker and Garrick have excelled ... the forgotten man Aloia was our best forward before injury and he’s a chance at getting back this season... we also have Manase on the books and a man that looked like he belonged at Manly andWas set for a big year Davey Who do you leave out
1-Tommy
2-Saab
3- Walker, Harper, Parker, Suli
4- Walker, Harper.Parker.Suli
5-Garrick, Parker, Suli
6- Foz, Shuster,
7- DCE
8- Marty, Aloia, Toff
9- Croker, Lawton, Manase
10- Paseka-Aloia- Toff
11- 12- Sirro, Hamouli,Shuster, Keppie,Lawton, Davey
13-Jake
14- 15- 16 - 17 and 18- whoever misses out from above as on current form you would take any
And I still havnt mentioned players like Saddler, Ben T, Cust who have all shown they belong.. I’ve probably even forgotten a name or two...
25 into 18 doesn’t go! And that’s not counting players like DeLuis and the Jetski who can hold their own.
Our juniors are looking good and not just looking but coming good... just look at how Shoe and BenT have started their NRL careers, they are from the same junior pathways program that holds another 6 or 8 absolute talents..
The future is looking very very bright, opposing team fans are hating us again and opposing teams are fearing us again.. the hit hard run hard and play for each other mentality is back and Bozo can Rest In Peace that the true Manly culture of winners is firmly intrenched.
I feel a decade of dominance on the very near horizon!
