All of our roster is well and truly above the average NRL player one through 25 in our squad for their relative positions (I rate this roster as maybe Manly's most well rounded and solid, ever).
Players that will be our best are sure to be:-
1. Jamie Lyon. Stands for itself. He was my centre of the year last year. He is Manly's best player. He is one of the elite, best players in his position in the entire world, and has plenty more to offer. Please Mr Perry, get that contract sorted please.
2. Matt Ballin. Mr consistency is completely under rated in many circles. Many people dribble about Cameron Smith. Matt Ballin is the 2nd best Hooker in QLD, Australia and best overall Hooker for Manly. Matt Ballin isn't too far behind Cameron Smith.
3. Mystery Forward. I think we will be pleasantly surprised by all our forwards (who some will claim is aging), but with a stockpile that includes Kite, King, Watmough, Horo, Stewart, Buhrer, Rose, Galuvao, Lawrence, Fa'aoso, Mauro, with rookies like Cunningham, Chee Kam, Stromqvist, Sao & many others, we are disgustingly lucky and have a mass of riches. Of these, I kind of think Rose will surprise, and look / be much healthier.
