Its hard to predict who will be the star signings for 2014 as some will over achieve & many will....flop.
The signings I refer to are the fringe NRL players or relative unknowns across the NRL during the past 10 or so years.
Looking at Manly there has been many more than any other team imo, though I do have Maroon & White eyes.
The Bryant, Hall, Horo , Lawrence, Le Strange type players who struggle at 1 club then come to Manly & thrive, being touted as potential rep players.
Is it the recruitment picking gems in the rough, or simply the Manly trainers & coaching staff combined with a successful history that helps them find an extra 2-3 gears??
I struggle to find success stories that can compete with these, but theres obviously a few others in recent times.
Not including the Inglis marquee signings who are already in the superstar catagory, more the ones who have gone from nothing to a gun NRL player from not only Manly, but all NRL teams....
