Our recruitment priority for 2019

Who is the recruitment manager?

For the record Anderson was on a development contract this year so as mentioned by a few couldn't be selected. He is again on a development contract next year. Although obviously with some roster spots in the top 30 to be determined this could change depending on how Cartwright sees him and if he wants to upgrade him.

I'm not sure; however, I have a feeling Joshua Schuster or Albert Hopoate will be brought in before Ben. 2020 will be the year most likely from what I have seen (no inside info).

Ben is still a way away. Albert will be heading on his Mormon mission which means he wont be seen for a while. Schuster is the most likely and will play Flegg early next year with the plan to promote him at some point into NSW Cup.

Agree re Ben. Is Albert definitely doing a mission?

TBH, I don't even think Will is the same player he used to be. He used to have heaps of X-Factor.

He used to have heaps of X-Factor

Which would make him the ex-X-Factor guy

No way they will let lomax go.. he is regarded as the next messiah over there. Rightly so, he and Bradman best are probably the two best nsw juniors coming through

Thanks mate, wasn't sure where he was placed in their pecking order but if he's as good as I suspect it makes sense they want to keep him..
Maybe his 1st grade pathway at the dragons is just as strong as his chances would be with Manly. If we can unearth or develop a player like him we would be lucky..

Josh Schuster is potentially as good a young footy player you will find....and seems to have the Attitude to match his ability.
Hits like a tram defensively and in attack has great mobility and power with a quality offload (not this throw & hope stuff).
Only problem is the fact he is 3 years off getting a chance at the Top level....provided we keep him!!

Just hope Manly don't let Shuster slip through their fingers, like so many they have in recent years.. Confident Ben Trbojevic will stick around. Albert Hoppa, a question mark after he returns from his mission

Jonus pearson from broncos cant get a srart there behind Oates. He's a gun. Quick can catch and been in the system for a couple years. I said we should have chased him this year and still think hed be an awesome cheaper buy for our weak link wing spot. Can someone start a forum on him and try get manly to take notice!!!

.... only if he has a video with a gangster sound track showing him scoring tries and making zero tackles against Under 20's opposition.

He is a good player but just on cost effectiveness , Manly may just continue to mainly persevere with Anderson , Tom wright , Suli , Funa and even Jorge as outside back options .

He has scored 45 tries in 57 matches in qld cup. He's better than the standard under 20 highlights.
He's 23 and had 3 seasons playing Refcliffe, he's a specialist winger andva step above what we used this year

Im happy for Funa T.Wright Anderson and suli be given a go but he has scored 45 tries in 57 qlf cup games. Hed be cheap and a good extra option to have. Suli is not a proven winger and either is T.Wright and Anderson and funa are untried rookies. Barrett should have blooded T.wright and Funa all this year, he really ****ed that up for their development

I see kenny Edwards has had some interest shown in him by NRL clubs of late. I wouldn't mind him here next year. Would be a better option then McQueen and plays with a lot of heart.

I like Kenny . He is a bad boy off the field but on it he crowd favourite . Gives his all for his team
Very hard man indeed !!!

Skills on the field we'll take him. Hes the tough sorta mongrel we need. Could nearly play him at lock and push jake up to prop. Or vice versa. Might fit in with the bros we have in our squad. Plus bring up Tom Amone.
Then buy a specialist winger with pace and safe hands
