I am so sick of this disgusting contract drama with DCE (Drama Child Exemplified) that I have decided to start a positive threat that focuses on other players who deserve our support.
Here are five players who can go up several gears in 2015:
1. Dumanis Lui: Looks bigger and stronger this year. Great at back-end of 2014 and more game time will help.
2. Starling: Unfairly criticized in some quarters last year. Had a decent rookie year in first grade, in an undermanned pack. Will benefit greatly from more experienced props around him.
3. Wolfman. Never write off champions. Will be incredibly motivated, and Tafua's injury opens a door.
4. Luke Burgess: No shame being behind other Burgess boys. Watch for breakout year in 2015.
5. Horo. Plenty of detractors on this site. But he has size and speed, and looks hungrier this year. Horo in form was a huge asset, on and off the ball, for Manly in 2014. Will push for starting spot.
