I regulary watch the Holden cup and they are a breath of fresh air. Seeing these fellas out there giving it all and showing the Manly spirit is wonderful. We have about 6 outstanding players in the team, look out for these guys to hit first grade within 2 years.
1. TOM TRBOJEVIC
This kid is a sensation about the best prospect I have seen since Brett Stewart, devastating try scorer and maker of tries, reads the game so well, he is 3 plays ahead of most of the players, glides across the park with minimum effort, I will call it now will be a Kangaroo within 5 years!
3. LUKE GARNER
A really good player and replacement for Killer or Skivvy in 2 years, good finisher and solid defender.
6. WILL PEARSALL
A clever ball player and solid all round game, his combination with Riley Travers is a budding one but in time will be lethal
7. RILEY TRAVERS
This boy is injured at the moment but he started the season on fire, the captain and natural leader and has a great all round game. One to watch for the future.
8. ADDISON DEMETRIOU
A pocket rocket, build close to the ground, runs hard and straight and is destructive, reminds me of a Sherman tank, a real crowd pleaser!
9. HUGH PRATT
A reliable hooker, gives great service out of dummy half and really compliments our halves.
I have highlighted just a few of the guys, We have solid wingers and a really good and mobile pack. When you think of all the doom and gloom that have ravaged the first grade this is the future and what we have to look forward to,
Now I implore the Penns and Kelly, please sign the 6 lads I have highlighted and as many of the other guys in the team to long term contracts and build a team that will in 2 or 3 years be once again the most feared team in the comp. Lets learn the lessons of 2009 and make sure we dont lose a generation to coin from predators, with the departure of our halves we now have the chance to get this done.
Go to it Kelly!!!
