Addin Fonua Blake

[The Who]

It is what it is mate.
Some things are more important than footy.

There was at least one guy playing for Parra tonight who had been in jail. People can turn their lives around.

 

[Midnight Rambler]

A star is born. Straight into the starting side. Prop or 2nd row, either way. Easily the strongest forward we have, Kapow included!

 

[Heckenberg]

is he in our top 25 squad? could this be problematic?

 

[Brooke]

He received a big cheer from the Manly crowd when he came off after his first stint. I thought he went really well. I won't judge him when I don't know the circumstances of what happened with his charge.

Wicks I'm sure of and I think Mau as well. But if you have served your time I guess you shouldn't be denied the opportunity to continue in your chosen field. Even if fans struggle with it.

 

[CBreeagles]

This kid needs a bench spot, anyone want to give us an idea of how our pack would look with this guy in? Who misses out?

 

[Fluffy]

Thought he was solid without being spectacular but as a debut you can't ask for more than that.

There will always be questions over his past but in reality i would have to stop watching the game completely given GI and others that get drooled over.

Probably Starlo or BJ

 

[Mr Manly 007]

1 drop ball didn't ruin a great NRL debut . Great metres & strong defence - will only get better . Probably our best forward and should retain his position even at full strength.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

Vave, and now possibly this bloke being a bit of a surprise revelation for me at least this year. They know how to bend the line!

 

[Johnny blake]

Addin had a strong debut, good runs and tackle work rate went well. Still has to get used to the nrl fitness. Not bad for a 20yo

Congratulate him from us on a great first game, eager to see him in maroon and white in the future.

 

[Bird of Prey]

He will do me plenty of go in him.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Probably Starlo or BJ

I thought they missed Lawrence, in a big way.

 

[nightster]

He had a pretty good debut .... one thing that irked me was when he dropped a ball he just stopped and threw his head in the air ... aren't they coached to chase the dropped ball and fall on it or nail the dude that picks it up ..... also after a tackle please don't get up and run back into the line with your back to the attack ..... run backwards watching the attack .... we have many guilty of that one .... Gasnier and Voss are so biased in their game call

 

[Disco]

Could be a sneaky supercoach pickup after next weeks game

 

[bob dylan]

Geez we have a few big boppers now. I am impressed with all of them, it's very competitive to get a spot in in the 17.

The size of these guys will take a lot of pressure off Buhrer when he returns. We will see the best of JB if he stays injury free.

 

[HappilyManly]

BJ's problem is his injuries now plus being in the last year of his contract 🙁

Forwards we have otions in.

Now for Goodall/Lavaka to step up to beef up our backs 🙂

 

[The Investigator]

Loved the look of this guy! He ran hard every time and provided good impact. Deserves a bench spot imo.

 

[Turbo]

This guy looks like a future Jason Taumalolo. Our pack is going to beast next year.

With solid reserves like
Lussick
Lawrence
Starling
Knight
Johnny walker
Buhrer and others keeping competition for spots. IMO we will sign Tamou, Klemmer or another gun forward
