Tommy Talau
he was back from injury after week 1 finals but don't blame them for not changing the team after such a great win against the dogs. talau averaged 20 more metres (147m compared to 127m) every game and that's including saab's line breaks. talau also scored more tries at a better strike rate with...- joshcooper123

Saab will have to be one of the worst defensive wingers in the comp, he makes poor decisions and has poor first contact in defence. His game is also filled with errors under high balls and constantly goes missing against the top teams. Yes i agree on a Sunday arvo against a bottom 8 team I love...- joshcooper123

Saab's attributes will help us win games, Talau's attributes will help us win premierships... I know who I would be choosing- joshcooper123

the main signings manly should be focusing on the moment is the resigning of bully and talau as on nov 1st other clubs can sign them for 2026 bully perfectly fits the mold of the modern day middle forward with leg speed and agility talau was our most consistent back all year and deserves a...- joshcooper123

I think it's important to understand what Manly's style of footy is and how Seibs is as a coach. I was asking the same questions about moving Jake to front row last year for less minutes where I actually saw Seibs at a pub in Manly and asked him and he said Jake will be playing 80 through the...- joshcooper123

i don't mind the hooker option you display but i do question having a winger on the bench. probably 75% of games this player will be useless and i feel will be more effective if this spot is used by burbo to play 20 mins of back row cover for bateman then in 25% of those games he's more than...- joshcooper123

he's the perfect type of player of what we need, a hardworking mobile back rower. all we need is someone who can run a tough inside line (burbo can't) and have high effort plays. we already have enough strike on the field, he will fit in nicely straightening our attack and he's a great defender...- joshcooper123

a big performance from navale this month could see him get that starting 13 lock role for us, ensuring that he maintains high levels of agility- joshcooper123

2025 Manly Squad 1. Turbo 2. Hopoate (shown more promise than saab in half a season than his 4 years, needs to bulk up) 3. Koula 4. Garrick 5. Talau 6. Brooks 7. Cherry 8. Paseka 9. Croker 10.Jake (with the game becoming faster it's time to put jake front row and more agility at lock) 11...- joshcooper123

I think he will be a very handy bench player as he is quite versatile which is needed after loosing Lawton. I think he will play 14 for us where his initial role would be a middle with mobility and leg speed off the bench but can also spell Croker if he needs to come off at 9 or even Burbo at 12...- joshcooper123

The ideal and realistic signing would be Euan Aitken. A hard working left edge back rower with plenty of experience and is off contract for the 2025 season- joshcooper123

Josh Aloiai
blessing in disguise i recon him being out for 2 weeks. i think sipley should be starting for the rest of the season and bullemor on the bench with aloiai in reserves. only reason why he was starting because he is on 600k and can't be wasting that on the bench or in reserve grade. time to move...- joshcooper123

I know everyone wants to get rid of aloiai as he is on 600k but only if we can replace him with another strong forward. The ideal signing that we need is mitch barnett, a tough middle forward to join paseka in the front row and we would pay 600k for him. He's smart, tough and mobile all things...- joshcooper123
