    Monday Buzz: Manly on verge of signing big name player

    As others have said, there is no bad in this signing. It will be a train and trial contract. He is experienced and explosive out of dummy half and could really carve up under the new rules. Maybe the perfect #14 and great depth. If he doesn't perform then he stays at Blacktown and nothing lost...

    what 5 Manly players under pressure to perform 2022

    Agreed re Jake. Needs a big year, either needs a positional change or to play less minutes to get more out of him while he is on the field!

    what 5 Manly players under pressure to perform 2022

    Agree. I dont think guys that are playing to/close to their ceiling are under pressure at all. I say Paseka, he is due to step up and finally become a genuine top NRL prop. Schuster, has all the skills but another year like last year and people will really start to question him. DCE always has...

    If Croker can do "THIS" - will be Massive Boost

    If Friend wasn't playing for Roosters and played his career with Tigers or Titans I dont think he would get anywhere near the praise he gets. I never really rated him more than a tackling machine that played in a great team and was made to look a lot better than he is. Verrils scored a dive over...

    If Croker can do "THIS" - will be Massive Boost

    Is Croker crap and out of form? Roosters have been dominant and recently won comps with Verrils and Friend at hooker. Neither are dynamic hookers, similar to Croker.

    Manly Positional changes - that could work ?

    My money is on Koula. He will be our version of Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow. Koula kind of reminds me of a mix Brian Kelly with his evasiveness and strength for a smaller build and Addo Carr's finishing ability. I think he is a genuine star in the making!

    Manly Positional changes - that could work ?

    He was trialled on the halves last year and I just don't see him ever playing NRL in the halves. Fullback could be his position if he wants to play 1st grade. I still think Des will use Garrick as back up and then bring in Koula/Tuipulotu to the wing but if we happen to be without Garrick and...

    Brookvale Centre of excellence

    I don't really like the seat colour set up. I get it resembles the hoops but out of all the design options I wouldn't have went this one at all!

    Manly Positional changes - that could work ?

    He was defending like he does on the wing with the up and in but what Jorge does well is when he goes up and in, he usually gets his man. Much like Matai, neither have the speed to give the opposition too much space so up and in works for them. His defensive reads are actually a strong point for...

    Manly Positional changes - that could work ?

    100% Watching him at Blacktown playing left centre was very intriguing and his skills were a lot better than I ever expected. Seen him put Koula away down the touch line a few times and if you didn't know it was Jorge you'd be asking Manly's recruitment team to go sign this big unit gun centre...

    Manly Positional changes - that could work ?

    As others have said.... I reckon Bullemore could carve up at centre.

    Manase Fainu

    I would be training Walker therebfor that very reason. I'm sure he can do it well, he could even be dynamic out of hooker. Make him a genuine utility, much like Peachey was at Titans. We dont have a genuine gun hooker to put on our bench so I don't see the sense in having both Walker and Lawton...

    Manase Fainu

    Croker played 74 - 80 minutes 13 times this year. I think the back up hooker on the bench is overstated in our team last year. Jake (if needed) can cover hooker as well as Lawton can and Walker is already coming on to play lock anyway. I do agree having a genuine gun #9 on the bench would be a...

    I reckon Lawton misses out. We have so much depth in the forwards, its gonns be hard to pick a bench each week.

    We have Dargan (not sure the spelling) on a train and trial. I'm sure he will take Cust's place. I really rate him highly!

    I "would of" stopped but now I want to continue ;)

    Craig Field released

    Could of and should of instead of "have" Does my head in, I reckon 90% of people say it the wrong way!

    Does Manly have the Best Young guns ?

    Yes forgot about him. He looks something special, that's for sure!

    Does Manly have the Best Young guns ?

    Some if those guys are very young and still unknown but yes I believe we do have the best young guns but im still including the likes of Garrick, Saab, Olakau-atu, Schuster, Paseka and Keppie. All still relatively young. Add in Koula, Burbo etc then it is exciting times ahead.
