I'm not getting my hopes up, but I am worried that his career is starting to be held back quite a bit. It was quite odd that Burns was selected ahead of him last week, even with Adam Lucius' pushing for Burns over the summer and references to Witty being the "forgotten man".

I'm not trying to be slack or anything...but if he's on $180k, I'd say go to Souths and team up with Sutton....he'll get a start there.
Manly won't pay him that out of their own pocket, I'll warrant now....although King is on $200k....so who knows... :roll:

Witt was crap in the trials and was cut by Parra as he didn't cope with the pressure. His defence at the back end of last year was poor and he needs to convince a few that he can remedy that.
He is in the side to be a footballer, not some bloke's love interest!!!!! :roll:

The game was a bit of a let down after fair trial form against Tigers.
To add to some of your points:
Agree Dunley is not the best choice to start hooker – loses his impact. At times his darts from dummy half to spark the attack quickly turn into dead ends.
Agree that Bryant’s form has continued from last year. Solid performer. To start him each week may well also lose his impact like Dunley – there is something to be said about impact players from the bench. I’m not certain what the best choice is here - do we look at not playing King and Kite together (our No 1 & 2 props) and instead always look at keeping atleast 1 of the 2 main props on the field all game. I thought they both had fair games, and King was looking a lot better than last year, and although I’ve stuck up for King in the past, I’m not throwing confetti on him yet
Watmough didn’t have one of his best games
The defence coach better not have a voice left by next weeks match. I need to watch the replay a 3rd time to determine who in defence let manly down in the middle of the ruck all freakin’match
Orford – Obviously we are all prepared to give him time, but the team was out of sorts with a new playmaker which is why I’m not reading too many “Des (or any player) on last legs†threads. It’s round 1.
Nothing bad to say about Hicks, but would rather he get’s more involved. Otherwise he’s just a sprint machine like Donald was - who doesn’t do much else.
Could we have asked for much more from Bell?
The marker/ruck defence was quite poor at times and the attack was outta sorts – hopefully this get’s turned around by rd 3 at Brookie
