Your pretty spot on Al - the balance at Manly is "Not there" salay cap wise. Team like Sharks have a far more mobile pack, plus a nimble dummy half. The plan.... Pay "BIG" for AFB Most the other forwards at Sharks sit around the $500,000 - $600,000 salary and this includes Nikora and McGuiness...- maxta

No end in sight
Weekes was crucified when he was thrust into NRL at 5/8 against a rampant full strength Penrith at their Prime....he was murdered and it really burst his bubble and was not the same again.... I think he is doing some great things at Canberra and has that X factor about him, but will always be a...- maxta

Seibold presser ..
As far as Seibold coaching I felt at times I have seen some fancy and pretty football....but where is the aggression....when the going gets tough, Manly seem to slink away like they are not willing to get down and dirty on the physical side of things, so basically when a team comes out to play a...- maxta

I feel far different and from the start looked very flat....it took a fairly lucky try to bring them back into the game and once the Sharks kicked away the white flag went up and the intent and attitude was fairly slack for much of the game....I think it's a fair summary to say the Sharks wanted...- maxta

Good points and much I agree with In fact in many ways the saying about "not up to 1st grade " in a way doesn't make sense, but can from a different view....as we are talking about players who have already played 1st grade right ?? But here's the point I try make How good was BK ? Absolute gun...- maxta

In literal terms so do I. However when a player who has busted his guts and played out of position and is on the verge of medical retirement, it becomes reality. Would be 3rd option at dummy half at best at majority of NRL clubs and no insult to a soldier of a player, but I believe that's where...- maxta

Fair comparison in many ways Kenny is certainly not flash or agile, but definitely more robust and is more of a threat than Croker....Croker is tough, but often still minced where Kenny is simply a stronger body- maxta

Some take it personally about Croker, but your 100% correct....it doesn't mean fans don't appreciate his heart, it's probably bigger than most, but the ability is unfortunately not u to what's needed as an NRL dummy half.- maxta

It's great you rate him a reasonable NRL standard and I don't think your "disrespecting" me, it's simply your opinion and your entitled to it. But I just want some clarity here on your opinion apart from "He can tackle". What other NRL sides would start Croker at hooker ? If he is available to...- maxta

The real problem is Croker was a junior 5/8, who Manly made into a dummy half after losing both API and Fainu, as Croker does add "utility" value....but the 9 is a very specialist position. Croker has enthusiasm and that is a MUST for any position, but lacks the key elements, making Manly...- maxta

David Fifita
100% grab him for that strike left edge if possible, most players bar Foran and Tino fall away on the Gold Coast....get him fresh and sprinkle some enthusiasm amd watch out - the old Fifita could well erupt.....be great for him and for Manly- maxta

Look - he has been gone for a while now ...destination was always Roosters, so would like to simply move forward in a Positive way. The reason Manly stuck so hard on the lures for Fogarty were all about this and now he is coming along gotta keep building in other area's where most needed. The...- maxta
