Alec Tuitivake is a big beast who I reckon may take time to get to the speed of NRL, but would prove an X factor player who will dent any defence
Problem this next game is Rabbits and you want more mobility to control the quicks like Cook and Murray in the middle, maybe not the ideal time.
Shu is 2 weeks off
I don't think the Okalatu tackle should have been on report or a bin, he'll be there
Marty is back - likely
Keppie - 95%
Davey unless scans show worse will make it
bullemore, Lawton, Ben T and De luis "if needed" will make up the pack
Will be a competitive side and long as they have a dig like that second half I'm happy enough
To be fair, the Manly pack has done ok recently and their tempo in attack has gone up 2 levels and at most times are controlling the play balls better also defensively, though the first half against Sharks was a few times they didn't help that poor right edge by allowing touch footy plays and an easy, unopposed shift.
If you watch the 2nd half, apart from the obvious wih Koula "Getting up" rather than retreating, the inside also slid far better and controlled the lead up better also.
I feel Souths will attack the same side and the biggest concern, is the damage created by Cook and Murray thru the guts to loosen the defence up.
