There is no A.I. Just better computers
The Core Four:
Brett Stewart
StevenMatai
Jamie Lyon
Matt Balin
Some clubs are one star players, teams like J.T's cows or Hayne’s Eels. Some are All Star teams like the roosters or old broncos teams who somehow have an embarrassment of test players. And of course the Melbourne's.
Manly in recent times have a Core Four. Great players have come and gone in and around the core four however it is what each of these players bring to the Sea Eagles on and off the field that IS what Manly is all about.
Killer's 190 games for Manly since 2007 have been such a high standard that no other player in the Nrl has been more consistent at such a high level. Best centre in the game and our Captain.
Matt B 195 games and almost all of them consecutive. You never hear a bad word spoken about Ballin on or off the field. He is the glue in our side whether defending or setting up our sets. A very underrated player by armchair footy fans everywhere.
Snake has had more bad luck than most of us get in our lifetimes. Too many injuries and off field crap that he just never deserved but you never see him not putting in on the field. His skill set is second to no other full back.
Skivvy turns games with a single tackle. He plays through pain like no other player in the modern game. He does the work of a forward, never ever gives up and is so committed to his family - he should be the role model to all people starting a family.
These players have been our most consistent for the last seven or eight years. They take the pressure off our halves, make our wingers look like stars and clean up after our forwards. Ballin's 80 mins and 50 tackles allow our 2nd rowers to play more mins, Snakes playmaking covers for the halves if they are "off" and gives them infinite option in attack. Lyon and Matai are simply two of the best centres in league and set the bar high for all those who pull our colours on. Regardless of what wingers we have and what forwards come and go and if DCE and Foz are in or out and if JLJ or in the past Liam Foran fill in we are always in with a chance with our core four. They are our Gold Class players but more than that they are the team, they are what Manly is all about. Exceptional human beings. Exceptional players.
These guys are living, playing Manly Legends.
