2023 Team

  • We had an issue with background services between march 10th and 15th or there about. This meant the payment services were not linking to automatic upgrades.

So here’s what our squad is looking like for next year so far… how exciting :/

Question marks next to the players that I’m not sure if they will be in our top 30 or development players or gone.

Lacking depth and a hooker with any spark but it's a pretty good starting team. People saying we will be close to the spoon need to take a good look at the Dolphins, Knights, Tigers, Warriors and Dragons rosters and reevaluate. Tom alone has us just about in the 8 and if the new coaches can make it click we will be fine. Mainly need to hope for no injuries (especially to Tom) next year, you know this year was bad when Foz was the only bloke to play every game

and the three players needed above have to be marquee for us to compete. If you're swapping out any players here, we need upgrades, simple as that.

Don't mind that at all and should be close. Maybe Parker for Harper (only for defence) and Bully has a question mark but not sure who else will challenge him.

Don't mind that ?

Dolphins 8-17 are way, way better than us, already if that's the plonker of a side we have listed.

The only player with a remote capacity of Ben Kennedy emulation is Wade Graham.
But he will surely sign with the sharks for 1 year

Unless Flanno has a chat. But even then ....
 
Think that Wade is [ or was ] on something like 600 - 700 k at the Sharks . No doubt could not expect that elsewhere now, not sure how much more he could offer and the injury issues but probably out of Manly "s price range regardless .
 
Wade Graham is fairly injury prone and a bad recent history of head knocks. Needs to retire asap for his own long term safety. Pass.
I totally agree with you feathered friend
Wade Graham is one more hit from being out for another long period
Injury prone and past his time
There is good reason he has not been signed up by now
 
Wade Graham is a good player and would be a good leader of the pack but I am concerned about his health. If Flanagan is part of the coaching team he might end up here but not on 700K.

I hope that the new coaches don't have their team selections set in stone. Id like to see players earn their selection during the pre season and trials.
I dont not know why Des bothered playing trials

He always picked the same players

I dont know how you can build team moral across your 30 playing squad that way

I am so looking forward to the end of the Downward spiral Des era
