Kaeo Weekes

I think he played ok, I wouldn’t say he dominated the game for a number 7, he put the one kick in that Cotric scored off.

He kicked 3/5 60%, no line breaks or line bteak assists from Kaeo, for me he is a long way off having the kicking game for a first grade number 7, more of a running 5/8 for me which is very similar to Ethan Strange.

Rather Scorpio ask yourself how successful Manly has been in the past decade letting those players go. I wonder how successful Manly would have been if they had retained some of those kids they spent a lot of time preparing for their big chance and then showing them the door after a handful of games. Schuster I understand. He had several years of opportunity and though I think he will come good eventually, it was obvious that he wasn't in the right frame of mind to continue. Manly acted appropriately. But in answer to your question, several others who had played only a hand full of first grade appearances for Manly, or even none at all, despite obvious talent, were shown the door and several have succeeded elsewhere.. Knee jerk reactions in my opinion. Looking for the quick fix. Showing no patience. The Storm would never have done that. I know I harp on this issue, but to me its been ongoing since 2015. Before that, as far back as I can recall (that's back to the 60's) Manly held onto their young potential stars. Let them develop at their own pace.

Lolz, this thread is an over reaction if I've ever seen one.

Weekes hasn't been able to make the team only coming in via injury and was awful last week.

Would have been dropped if they had any other halfback option.

We imploded and he looked okay in the second half but he ain't one we are going to rue letting go.

He was average.. his forwards gave him a bit of time in the last 20 mins and we made him look good.. end of story
