Agreed. Pure speed. I want a specialist full back to play there. Not some winger playing fullback. its a specialist position.. Funa and Garrick dont have the skills to come into the line and create opportunities or that genuine support play.. passing etc. Its more than just catch a bomb these days.

The reality is that most fullbacks start off as wingers

Not so ... unless you mean most junior fullbacks start their NRL career on the wing for experience ...

notable exception was Snake ... but Tommy, Will Hoppa and more recently young Hoppa were all fullbacks that debuted on the wing and centres ...
 
And how many original full backs have gone on to play in other back line positions , at N R L level , S O O and even international level

2 observations:

1) The front-row man-spread-off between Aloiai and Siro has a casualty in Burbo. Poor lad is being forced to squeeze his own nut-sack between those famous 'urbo hammys of his. Seems Burbo still has to earn his right to man-spread with the big boys.

2) The first few words in the names list are "Back row: Josh Schuster" - prophetic?
 
Looking at the latest photos both Koula and Fainu look fit and powerful. I think Koula can have an impact this year and Fainu looks to have the build for the modern game as a middle fwd. Maybe a year too early for him but gee we have some very good juniors ready to make a mark in teh next 6 - 18 months.
 
I am Manly thru and thru, but I just have a feeling something is wrong in the club. I just feel disconnected with the whole place and team. I can't put my finger on it (and I hope I'm wrong) but i not confident in this year. Do we still have owners or they just don't get involved anymore?....and before anyone slags me as a traitor and disloyal, its the way I feel going into 2021 season.

I think it is good we don't hear from or see the Penn's for a number of reasons, but mostly because I think it means that Humphreys is doing a good job.

Look, 2020 was one super weird season, including the way we fell apart. But on reflection, I think we may underestimate the impact the COVID bubble had on what is a pretty young squad we have. Not being able to see family and friends would have been very hard, particularly as morale would have been low from a tonne of injuries. Other teams were in the same boat of, course, but I am happy to write 2020 off.

So I understand (I think) we you are coming from. But I reckon it will only take a few early seasons strong performances to reconnect.
 
Beat the Chooks and things will look a lot better. They are far from unbeatable, in fact they've got their own halves problems.
We've taken a battering in recent times, including Fainu on serious charges, key injuries and a losing season, top prop jumps ship, young star drops dead after training. And more. It's a wonder anyone of them can raise a smile actually, but a win will do wonders. Need Marty, DCE Dylan and Foz to lead the way and do a job on the Chooks, then we won't look back.

I understand why you may feel this way. I believe that this season is ripe for Manly to turn a few heads, no one in the press talks much about us or rates us and that is how Des loves it, under the radar and anonymous. We have our challenges for this season, our roster is thin in areas and we need an awful lot to go right with injuries if we are to have a chance. Do not underestimate the spirit in the club!

Mate I honestly don’t understand why our roster is considered poor by many out there? Yes we have a hooker issue but where else are we so ‘weak’??? I looked at our full strength roster & compared it player for player to most of the so called top teams & I’m fvcked if I know why not many rate us. Our team at full strength is as good as any & capable of a top 4 finish if not higher. Looking at the Eels, Roosters, Storm, Raiders, Souths etc. we have just as much depth & fire power as they do! There aren’t many players I’d swap for our boys for sure! Player for player compared to the above teams we are a pretty fvcken good team! I don’t give a flying fvck what hasbins like Sterling, Fittler, Johns say coz to me it sounds more like envy & hope that we fail coz they know we are a threat! All these cvnts that think we’re a nothing team are in for a rude shock. If the boys start well then I can’t see many other teams stopping us!
