THE RISING STAR
It's hard to go past Tom Amone.

The rampaging forward proved unstoppable for the Workers in 2018, working tirelessly on either side of the ball and earning valuable field position with his strong carries.
The 22-year-old was ranked first in the competition for post-contact metres (1327),third total run metres (3428) and total runs (329), and averaged almost 30 tackle per game.

He was rewarded with a place on the interchange bench in the Intrust Super Premiership Team of the Year, a well-deserved reward for one of the most consistent and influential players in Workers side.

I suppose Easts have offered him a contract lol.

He has to be better than Winterstein surely

 

[BOZO]

This guy sounds good . Under a good coach he should become even better
Another good thing to look forward to next season .

I'm 52 years of age,two bad knees and poor site in my left eye.I still think I've got Frank covered

 

[manly al]

Even though it was not i st grade , still pretty impressive stats , and still relatively young for a League forward . Hopefully with the right coaching guidance and encouragement ,he will be able to make his mark next season in the Manly i st grade squad .

Good stuff, good to see some talent stepping up

With zero disrespect, that wouldn’t be hard!!

 

[ricardo]

Frank's good. I don't get the hate. Tackles all day and does a job.

 

[manly al]

Frank is a budget listed utility [ taking into account that he can fill in as a centre when other options run out ] and form fell away a bit last season . Don"t expect that much improvement from him next season but again as a budget type player with some reasonable ability , could still have something more to offer ,even just in the depth department .

Was it the 2017 game vs roosters at brookie where frank swatted manu aside like a fly and set up a try?

That was a great game, but the tables have sure turned since then.

Frank is good but to improve as a team we need some one better .

I like Amone ... hope he rips in 2019 ...

But a word of caution .... Sipley, Jamil Hopoate and Cameron Cullen all made the 2017 ISP team of the year ..... none of them had what you could call stellar 2018's ..... but Hoppa and Sipley are young .. still time ...

Here it is, frank had his best game for manly, so did Parker.

Agree, with a good coach they will go much better.

Agree, with a good coach they will go much better.

Agree .... you will recall that one of the demands of Barrett was for a full time coach for Blacktown instead of a part timer .........

PSS ... Gotcha ....

 

[Tragic Eagle]

He’s finally found his calling.

 

[The better Robbo]

Amone plays with heart and does alot of the tough hit ups. Definitely deserves an upgrade. I can see him getting plenty of game time. He's the exact type of hard working forward we need. Rarely makes a mistake either
