I don't think the talent pool at the club is responsible for the sub-par performances...I think the drama has simply caught up with us, and the playing group is not buzzing like it needs to be.

This is a tough competition, and talent only gets you so far. You need 17 committed players to take the field in order to win against any opposition team outside of maybe the Raiders.

I just don't think there is a good vibe at Manly for obvious reasons, and it's showing on the field. Sure, we are short a couple of stars in the forwards to challenge for a premiership, but there is enough quality in our roster to make the finals and cause headaches along the way IF we play with spirit and commitment. We proved this against Melbourne; we were under siege and played like men possessed, but it's hard to get up like that every week with the cloud that's hanging over our club.

Don't look to the squad of 25 for faults in order to account for our current failings. The nucleus of this same squad were a bees dick off taking out the minor premiership last year. We are a club in crisis, the effects of which are now starting to manifest on the field, instead of simply off it.
 
This is a fun idea. Top of mind thoughts.....

1. Snake - Where's his head at?
2. Blair - Wolf in sheeps clothing
3. Lyon - Older legends get hurt
4. Matai - god we need him
5. Hiku -A part of future
6. Foran - mentally shot
7. DCE - mentally shot
8. Starling - no impact
9. Ballin - A legend sign him
10. Willie - passionate but limited
11. Buhrer - a manly boy forever
12. Mateo- skilled will fit in
13. Lui - a box of chocolates
14. Jake T - A young burgess
15. JSL - sideways man, run straight
16. Symonds - too clean
17. Lawrence - not a factor
18. Burgess - trying hard, can fit
19. Tafua - mentally shot
20. Gutherson - no factor in 2015
21. Horo - done
22. Hodges - not a factor yet
23.Williame - promising, future star?
24.Sao - NFI
25.Andrews - NFI also

The Manly team - fractured
 
My Attempt:

1. Snake - Best player this year
2. Blair - Waiting on Taufua return
3. Lyon - Legend but age injuries
4. Matai - Legend, one too many injuries
5. Hiku - Centre in the making
6. Foran - thinking of season 2016
7. DCE - trying, but lacking heart
8. Starling - 1 game........ and gone
9. Ballin - 80 mins of quality
10. Willie - Slow but giving 100%
11. Buhrer - Future Captain
12. Mateo- Good to see offloads
13. Lui - Runs hard
14. Jake T - The next Gift
15. JSL - big potential, good player
16. Symonds - Mr Fix it (mabye we should rename him No-More-Gaps for all the holes he is plugging this year)
17. Lawrence - Hasnt played in 2015
18. Burgess - Running hard, will improve
19. Tafua - Injured
20. Gutherson - Gone, unfortunately
21. Horo - For sale
22. Hodges - future Hooker
23.Williame - Coveing injuries fairly well.
24.Sao - Potential Wrecking ball
25.Andrews - Another potential wrecking ball

Manly - Early stages of rebuilding.
 
I watched the game. Basically we had no ball for the first 11 minutes.

DCE gave away two (yes 2) penalties for holding down opposition players on tackle four and five in the first two sets. That out us back on our own try line for the start of the game.
 
I'm sorry people but im not a fan of JSL...not sure what he brings..nice guy...but that's it...
Snake...is our best player at the moment..BUT...getting old...bringing the ball back..can't break the line or cause a half break...but when he chimes into the backline...Super.....
The issue...our injuries...will cause more pain and the season could be gone before we get everyone fit and the best team on the park.....im hoping the State of Origin period will help us...

1. Snake - putting in, getting old
2. Blair - poor defensive reads. next
3. Lyon - Legend ...injury prone
4. Matai - Legend, injury prone
5. Hiku - Fullback, playing wrong position
6. Foran - Can't read his mind
7. DCE - Always trying..
8. Starling - out.solid
9. Ballin - Super Man..
10. Willie - Giving his best
11. Buhrer - needs fitness..Very Solid
12. Mateo- Worst buy, lazy ass
13. Lui - Needs to improve stamina
14. Jake T - Potential plus
15. JSL - CRAP..sorry people
16. Symonds - Underrated....
17. Lawrence - maybe change to back-row...
18. Burgess - Running hard, going well
19. Tafua - improve high ball catching
20. Gutherson - Potential...
21. Horo - not sure what happened?
22. Hodges - future Hooker
23.Williame - Covering injuries fairly well.
24.Sao - Potential Wrecking ball

You forgot:
Hasson - Where are these goat pictures?
 
Overhaul in the Forwards . Players with line speed and ones that make metres going forward and not running side ways . If we dont fix this deficiency no halve combination can excel.
