He might come good. But right now lock at Blacktown seems like a great fit.

Kelma is pretty much the perfect Manly recruitment target: cheap (but not cheap enough), occasionally looks like he knows how to play football, and comes from the Tigers. He's settled in well with the rest of the team, meaning he's consistently "meh": not great, not terrible, capable of good moments (he has good hands and will occasionally make a strong run), capable of terrible moments (his goal-line defence is horrible). An average player on an also-ran team.
Not sure how focussing on replacing individual engine parts is the answer when the engine is out of tune. We play to slow, have no line speed in defence, kill off our own momentum with slow pasess from dummy half to to effectively a second dummy half standing flat footed 5 metre behind the play the ball who then plays in slow motion. That is so easy to defend against. Seibold is getting it terribly wrong at the moment.
Gone to the Eels effective immediately. No great loss, he was lazy as.

Great news with him moving on. You mentioned he was "lazy" which he is. The person replacing him is also considered 'lazy'. 🤔
Ben T is a pretty hard worker in my mind 😃

Jen I feel that you don’t really mean that! No one wants anyone to do well at the eels!

Agree regarding Ben T but isn't Schuster suppose to go into the back row?

Good result for us. I thought he was a good hole runner and had really nice hands for a backrower. But his defence, especially one-on-one anywhere near the goal line, was too often found out. I do feel a little for the bloke given we signed him for three years - which is on us, not him - and wish him well at the Eels.
Lock, 2nd row , bench, 5/8th - Schu will come good.
Yeah, that's a funny one, didn't Parra see any of Tuilagi's games and how he played....obviously not.
