    The squad takes shape

    I've said before unless Fainu is cleared we can't afford to lose Cust. If Croker goes down and we don't have Cust, we are royally screwed. It means we would have Lawton as our only option, that's just stupidity! Look what happened to Eels when they lost Mahoney! You need depth in this position...

    Off contract players - back up FB?

    A centre that can play fullback. Garrick is solid at fullback but has ZERO ball playing skills which is a necessity in the modern game! He will run 300m a game and try his guts out but he will miss 2 try scoring opportunities by not being able to set up the outside men. I also think with...

    Not really sure mate. He seems like he is a natural footy player

    AFL , no jab no play will NRL do the same

    Agree but that will be determined by the state governments so again NRL looks like the good guys.

    Off contract players - back up FB?

    I have liked this guy since we signed him. He was one of our best in the trial last year, a genuine fullback with instinct and good support. Not sure why he hasn't had further mentions, especially now with no Suli and Funa.

    Momirovski - please no

    I think he was part of the squads but pretty sure this was his first actual premiership ring

    Walker critics be gone

    40 years is right. You can sign 1 year earlier than your contract runs out. Teams will be doing pre season in November 22, if Walker couldn't sign with Dolphins until November next year we would have a pre season circus every year

    Lawton a gun

    As Woodsie has mentioned in a previous thread, the utility role has changed significantly and we are seeing utility's playing bigger minutes than a lot of their peers. Schuster's form does not warrant automatic selection and he is at the stage of his career where he can no longer get by with the...

    Does Manly pack have enough Mongrel ?

    Im not sure Schuster is a walk up starter at 2nd row like most on here seem to think. He was used there more out of necessity last year and then just kept the spot. I think he'd be way better used in the #14 role that Walker played last year. Basically like an extra 5/8 but a big body that can...

    Lawton a gun

    That is my ideal scenario for Des to sort out Dylan's defence and move him back to centre. Put Bullemore and Davey in the backrow rotation with Olakau-atu and Schuster to play the utility role as a 13 like Walker did this year. I think this makes our team looks more rounded as a whole!

    Does Manly pack have enough Mongrel ?

    I think with the addition of Bullemore, Davey basically being a new signing and Olakau-atu, Keppie, Paseka to get even better our forwards look really good. I definitely agree a strike centre and another quality ball playing fullback option is what we desperately need!

    Walker critics be gone

    From some recent photos it seems most are already training. Not sure if its part of the real pre season or they're just staying fit

    Now we have 17, where do we put the 18th

    Dubbo :) Half of Panthers are from the central west

    I'll run around Brookie naked if Weekes plays 1st grade next year :)

    The squad takes shape

    No doubt he can and probably will play NRL but I'm yet to be convinced he is as special as some make him outbto be on here.

    The squad takes shape

    Yes OR Schuster to centre. Didn't really rate him as a backrower to be honest. He had a few good moments and tackled well but our team dynamic was way off last year with Jake, Walker and Schuster in the forwards. We are weak in the backs and have a wealth of forwards so for me Schuster to centre...

    Any Manly juniors to NRL in 2022 ?

    I see Tuitivake ahead of Sione Fainu. Tuitivake is a wrecking ball, still not massively convinced by Fainu but hope to be proven wrong. Weekes, again in my opinion will only ever be a handy squad player but still quite a way off even that. Koula is the exciting one and with little depth in our...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Isn't this what you're doing with Schuster? I mean seriously he has shown glimpses of skill and talent but Gifty was tough, skilful, had the heart of a lion and was a leader of our pack. If Schuster can unearth these tough leadership qualities then no doubt he will have a huge career BUT his...

    The squad takes shape

    My personal opinion is that Sione Fainu is slightly/massively overrated on this forum. Not sure he turns out to be a top NRL player. Happy to be proven wrong but if his last name wasn't Fainu, im not sure we talk about him in the same way.

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    He has the "potential" to be better than Gifty but a long way to go yet.
