Will we start favourites for next year's spoon?

[Mark from Brisbane]

Agree with everything you’ve said mate. Elgey will prove to be a handy pick up, his passing alone will give our backs more ball. Has a decent kicking game as well .Get him tackling every day to help his defence.

Feki/Maumolo on one wing. Anderson on the other.
Maybe look at Ethen Lowe as a bench second row. Or someone in the same vein.

Lowe would be perfect , just the sort of extra forward we need.

I hope so, will make it good odds for my annual premiership winning bet!

My $50 this year is looking forlorn but over a decade I’m still well in front.

Exactly the same thing I’ve been doing for a long while now - a pineapple on the premiership. Had some big nights rubbing the victory in on the back of those wins.

The positive is if Cartwright and Ferris are around, I won't be watching, so it won't matter tbh.

All Ice Hockey for me from that point.

It's been similar to that for me this year. The least interested I've been in footy for many years.

Depends on who the coach is. Can't see Elgey making us a better team

He may sharpen our attack but he's a turnstile in defence

It's old bust does highlight issues he has.

So was Green

Don’t forget the Cowboys were considered one of the hot favourites this year.

How you can suggest that we’ll be favourites to run last before the end of the previous season is beyond me!

There’s a LOT of water to travel under the bridge between now and the start of the 2019 season.

Lowe would be perfect , just the sort of extra forward we need.

I a similar vein. Id love Javid Bowen in our list. He's too good not to be playing a grade each week.

If souli,parker, kelly,tafua are there we’ll get the spoon.

 

[NYEagle]

Nah not a chance. I think we are edge top 8 next year.
This club is not stupid, they will get a good player or two, and a new coach will have this bunch firing.
Titans will spoon next year with Tigers, Eels down there with em.

All depends on injuries .I'm hoping for no injuries and a heap of blokes chomping on the bit for a shot in 1st grade.A new coach who is a hard arse and as soon as a player (any player) is seen not giving 110% ,he is dropped to Reggies next week.
Couldn't do that this year ,players were safe and complacent. Next year if you let opposition run past you ,like we have seen plenty of this year.Bang ,you're dropped.
That's what these players need.They need to compete hard to keep their position in 1st grade.I bet Tommy throws fewer forward passes if his coach isn't his best mate ...
Sh1thouse year ,already looking forward to next one.

Scott Penn is quoted in today's Manly Daily thus: "We are very happy with our current squad."
Wow.
So it seems he is not placing any blame on the players for recording the worst season in Manly's history. What a cop out!

Under any other competent coach our squad would be competitive . Trent the quitter is the cop out .

We lacked a 5/8 in 2018, Elgey will fix that AND his defence is no worse than Blake Green’s.

Pretty sure this is the first time I've had to disagree with you Mark. It's bad man, real bad.

.....arrr shiit, I just said in another thread I wasnt going to bag him until round 8, to give him a fair go.....ok, start again. No more bagging Elgey until then.

PS. But I do reserve the right to give agree/like/winner emoji to others that bag him!
