    Run Koula Run

    Agree - Olakauatu is destroying Koula with his ball hogging and general lack of ball skills. I believe Ola should be moved into the front row where is sole attribute of physicality will be more valuable. Should be replaced inside Koula by someone who knows how to create space and pass.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Cowboys [Round 20, 2023]

    Obviously disappointed with the result but thought that at least Manly never gave up. But it is now obvious that the current line-up is just not competitive against good opposition. Probably too late now for this season but some suggested changes I would like to see are: 1. Move Olakauatu from...

    Latu Fainu

    In reality Fulton is very average. Not big and lacks pace. He is courageous, but that is about all. Matterson is twice the player.

    Liam Martin?

    Agree completely.

    Fletcher Myers (young fullback/centre)

    Have not observed much positive footage of Talau with the Tigers so far to make me have too much optimism about him.

    Blacktown Workers ... 2023 ..

    Also interesting - Tommy Talau listed as a reserve for the Tigers. So looks like that transfer (w/- Latu) deal has not yet happened (and hopefully will not).

    Latu Fainu

    Koula is an excellent footballer - has great pace, excellent fundementals, and guts. He is still very young but is a great prospect - can be, and should be a match winner. Main problem so far are the logs playing inside him, none of whom have the minimum balls skillls or football nous, to give...

    Latu Fainu

    Don't think Talau will go to wing - reports are that he lacks pace. But then again - as Manly is clearly on the down-slide, nothing would surprise me any more with this administration.

    Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega

    Agree. Also not sure he has adequate pace.

    Recent recruitment and moving forward

    Condon, on recent performances, looks as though he will be a good signing.

    Tommy Talau

    Weekes is a good'un, has the priceless quality of speed. Needs managing properly.

    Cooper Johns

    Completely not up to NRL standard. Too small, lacks pace, fragile defence, only up to catch and pass and not very good at that. It is as though Manly went into this game with a 12 man side - and not the first occasion this season. Really his continued selection is just indefensible. Young...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Sharks [Round 11, 2023]

    Weekes should have been in the side long ago. He is bein g handled terribly.

    Pre-Game Manly v Sharks [Round 11, 2023]

    I agree - it is a complete waste of time persevering with Johns. Weekes is twice the footballer.

    Pre-Game Manly v Sharks [Round 11, 2023]

    If they play Johns in at 5/8 it will be another thrashing for Manly.

    Blacktown won today

    Also Nathaniel Roache - if he played. Reckon, on a pure talent basis - he may be an answer to Manly's problem at dummy half.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2023]

    Can anybody tell me why did Manly go into this game without a 5/8??

    Will Siebs bring in Fainu at 6 when he turns 18?

    Saturday was my first full viewing of Fainu. Whilst generally he had a quiet game he was in a team which was completely outplayed by a bigger and older side. But on a couple of occasions Fainu displayed flashes of substantial talent. He has a very nice passing game, has speed off the mark, and...

    Tommy Talau

    Reading the Tigers forums - most opinions are that Talau is SLOW and unmotivated. They're not sorry to see him go!

    Tommy Talau

    Made one strong tackle - otherwise nondescript - as per usual.
