Manly has no attack. In recent weeks martys enthusiasm and second phase play is about the only attacking option in the team.
I understand his costs and our position with props and it makes sense from that viewpoint. i dont see wingers being anything but defensive in this team due to our lack of vision to shift the ball.
Only cust and walker have shown glimpses of using the outside men with walker rumoured to being shopped about , and cust struggling with consistency and composure ( fair enough too )
We can sell the bank, the house and the kids but until we get more from our halfback in terms of vision, we will be also rans.
Cut sirro out ffs and use the centres, move the ball early, stop routinely dishing the ball back inside to at least see whats out there. Maybe even try a pressure building game , based on kick chase. Turn our defence into attack , then maybe outside backs might be handy. Put up an attacking bomb
Parker was on fire until walks got injured
If brisbane are looking at taking hunt back surely we should offer dce to them. Or has hunt proved more value .
not a stats man but currently marty has more impact than chez in attack. He has even had to kick this season.
Its tough and i understand the question but our forwards are doing the job mostly , our spine is pathetic and the rest of the players are just making up numbers due to being completely overlooked, as opposed to being outplayed.
If we were unloading cherry even with some freight, maybe 200 k it would make sense to release marty as we could really change the team dynamic with 1.7 million but selling marty to get wingers and depth that will be overlooked seems like a step backwards if we want to score points
We have structural problems that a lick of paint wont fix
Even if manese returns it wont take coaches long to sort him out and reduce his impact , putting more emphasis back on the halves which will be the same same
