2023 Confidence level.....

[Wombat64]

Lots of media crap this week but just out of interest where do you really reckon we'll be this time next year?

Assumptions being no decent recruits outside of what we already know, only the loss of the players we already know are leaving and Dessie still coaching?

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

It'll be interesting to see how far the losing streak extends. We NEVER start a season well, and I can't remember the last time we won in the opening round. So we may well be up to nine or 10 losses on the trot.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Is Tommy playing the full season ?

 

[Damien2812]

To be honest I think we will be about the same since we don't have much coming in so far.

 

[KNUCKLES]

At this rate I think our best hope is 9th

 

[Andrew..]

Turbo playing a full year may help compensate for the lose of Foran, Walker and Taupau but if he goes down again then I think we could drop to the bottom 4.
I only hope the club has 1 or 2 more signings to announce, even if they're just up and comers, we need something positive to get excited about.

 

[Rafferty]

To soon to say, but it’s not looking real flash as of this moment.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Is Tommy playing the full season ?

History suggests not.

 

[Ryan]

Worse, but also interest levels pretty low.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I can’t see how we can vote not knowing what the squad will look like.

I’d say at this point more likely the same but it could just as easily be better or worse.

Our club is notorious for not telling us who the 30 ( or 28) are going to be until closer to season kick off.

So who knows what’s happening.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

I would guess there will be a bit of a roster turnover

Considering we have about 12 players on the books at the moment Des is going to have to play the kids. Said it before and will say it again this has a real 93/94 feel to it. Some talented kids (that have to play) that will need to be complimented with some players over the next couple of years to go the final step

Who knows who’s still to leave or who is staying, contracts mean nothing.

Who knows ( apart from the very limited announcements) who’s coming in ( if any).

We can’t make any predictions until we know the full story.

Don't you mean flipped over and cooked on the other side?

 

[Damien2812]

We also seriously need a good hooker and some decent props you can actually lead and be that Ben Kennedy type we need.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

My guess is Manly will have a very strong year. But a lot to play out over the off-season will affect this - possibly starting tomorrow!

 

[Disco]

Always live life with undue confidence...its much more fun that way.




Sooo probs top 4 then 😉

 

[chuckee]

Depends on which players “have been training the house down” in January

 

[Ryan]

I think we'll see a heap of that Blacktown team that won 2 games all year need to step up. This will be the team Des will field:

01. Tom Trbojevic
02. Jason Saab
03. Tolu Koula
04. Brad Parker
05. Reuben Garrick
06. Josh Schuster
07. Daly Cherry-Evans (C)
08. Josh Aloiai
09. Lachlan Croker
10. Sean Keppie
11. Haumole Olakau'atu
12. Kelma Tuilagi
13. Jake Trbojevic

14. Karl Lawton
16. Taniela Paseka
17. Ethan Bullemor
18. Toff Sipley

Des Hasler

And that team will run 2nd last. I'm guessing 5 wins, 19 losses.

And the only way to look at it @Mark from Brisbane is by taking it how it is now.

MOD, no Weekes?
