Read thread incorrectly - ignore all the below which I will leave for entertainment & payouts only....
Top 4 definately
Maybe 1st or 2nd & a realistic challenge to Nth Qld.
In finals probably win it with defence as Sharks done tonight...key difference, Manly would score 4-5 tries unlike Sharks who were gritty , but really only managed an intercept try that cost Cows a 14 - 0 lead.

The team would just be struggling to be in the 8, injury riddled, not being able to absorb the power game and tank by season end.
The only positive is the extra ball playing options would keep the games more entertaining with reminders of our past golden era.
The lack of power plays were putting extra pressure on our halves and back-line to create reliable consistent go forward through more risky lateral spreads and our attacking output would be suffering from a lack of central penetration to create a conducive environment for our back-line moves to shine.
The early stages of the Souths semi of 2013 made it obvious where Manly were heading.

Well we'd have no Choc, no Foran, no Ballin, and no Hiku for a start. Add no Killer, no Matai, no BJ and no DCE and I'd say they'd be on struggle street just like the current team.
We'd go crap.
From our Round 18 team that thrashed the Tigers in July 2014, Hiku, Foran, Lyon, Matai, DCE, Ballin, and Lawrence are all unavailable injured.
King is retired.
Horo, Symonds, JSL, Hasson, and Lui are either trotting around in Europe or playing reserve grade.
Brett Stewart is a shadow of his top form, while Starling Buhrer and Tafua are probably not at 2014 level either.
