Nope Lolol….look at the numbers & see who’s actually below average. Not saying Garrick is an immortal but FMD he’s been great for Manly as a Winger, Center, FB & clubman! The clubs 4th all time highest point scorer, soon to move into 3rd above Jamie Lyon if he stays. But yeah he’s below average!! Yet the sun shines out of ‘other’ below average players!

Being the full time goal kicker is great for racking up the points. He has been with us for 6 seasons. As I said before, he is a below average player when you take into account his defense - which has been poor for several years now. His attack is excellent, I don't think anyone would dispute that.

I dispute that mate. Hi defense is no worse than ‘others’ in the team! Anyway our opinions differ…..so be it.

We will have to agree to disagree but if you watch his performance in the PM's XIII, I believe it was last year, you'll see that he was a manifest liability in defense. The exact same issues we see when he plays for Manly. It really stood out.

Boys. Love your work. Agreeing to disagree shows class, and conflict avoidance. Imagine how the world would be a better place if others could do the same. For my two cents, Garrick is a great winger, and a position 6 - 12 on the ladder center. What I mean by that is he plays well against the lower teams, but when we play the top sides, he gets found out. Feel free to disagree.

It might gets down to the cap, if you want to keep Kolua and Hoppa and Saab is signed to 29 already then you might need to give Willet a run on a cheaper contract. Hearing we are trying to swap Brown for Jack Bird, he is a good centre but concerned he may be injury prone.

Saab is the worst signing extension given in our history. And til 2029 FFS.
