I agree, although not all players need flair, some just need a tough game style with a large workload

Reading the forum Bainbridge is supposed to be a gun. I haven't seen him play much, but if he's that good why is he off-contract and why haven't rival clubs gone after him?
As I said I haven't seen him play much, so I am asking anyone who's got more info about him
Is he worth keeping?

He is 'promising' I think... He's developing into a workhorse type of backrower, but he seems to lack innate abilities such as speed, footwork etc. Good in defence - very active around the ruck, but too small for a prop. Having said that, he's still a pretty big unit for a 20-year old, so may continue to bulk up. But whereas I think we need a dynamic running backrower who can throw a one-hander around the corner (sigh...BK...), I don't think he's got that in his game. Impressive beard for his age though.
In my humble opinion he is a very good footballer .... but has probably been rated as too small.
If you are on the smaller side of the ledger today you have to be in the very very very good range to make it.

DESpicable Manly
Only seen him play a few games but has the right qualities for FG. Has alot of potential but had a few injuries.
Whether he makes it in FG is another thing. More on him here: https://silvertails.net/threads/billy-bainbridge.51379/
I think their is some confusion around him at the moment. I remember reading he may have signed elsewhere, but it was all rumour at the time. Hope he has stayed.

Had a terrible run with almost continuous injuries after the early part of last season. Started the year well and was really good coming off the bench in Manly "s very good win over the Cowboys in March . Then the injuries set in so maybe this is a factor why he has not been in particular demand . Not the biggest of forwards but did have a reputation previously as a tough and determined junior. So not really sure why he has not been re signed by Manly but previously being a local and promising junior , it would be a shame if he can not be retained .

More like the next Buhrer 
Billi has a huge heart and solid skills but his body can't take the punishment
Maybe he can build up in the off season

I see the comparisons to Stewart and Buhrer, but to throw my hat in the ring I see his style, field position and attributes most similar to Watmough.....just down a few notches in each catagory....as mentioned above - must be something Extra special to lack size in the backrow and love or hate him - Watmough was an aggressive ball of granite and top shelf work rate...very rare.
Anyone know if there has been any movement on him being re-signed ? Unless I've missed something he is still off contract and not signed elsewhere.

I thought I saw him in some of the pre season pics. Maybe he ended up getting a one year deal?

I hope so, 1 year deal would be right and he would be on bottom dollar - we need a few of those to offset DCE etc
There is an old but true saying . You ask the right questions and you get the right answers

Mate when a player is good enough clubs go out and try to break contracts to get them .
