Hope so, but not hopeful should Waddell be playing instead. Recall all three Souths tries were scored down the Manly right side defence - and that is where Waddell was positioned! His lateral movement and agility is not athletic at all.
With respect to the upcoming Tigers match-up - reckon Manly could well have the backline to compete well. But on the other hand it probably will be in the forwards where we will struggle, as I think the Tigers would field a more athletic and aggressive pack than ours. Will be very interesting to...
Crosby is indeed a very good prospect. Was a R.U. schoolboy standout. Tackles and runs hard. Not sure whether the Warriors would let him go, but they have already resigned several of their young up and coming forwards. The very opposite to Manly.
Need a dummy-half who has a bit of leg speed and can scoot when the opportunity arises. This position has been a significant basic handicap for Many for a number of seasons now. Has to be rectified as a priority in any team rebuild.
