Yes agreed but i meant after that, no barba killed them they had nothing no spark and its still the same hence 2nd last. Foran is good but he has no help he has good shape and direction and puts his body on the line for zero result. And hes injured alot haha

Foran is their gun player (which says a lot doesn't it. He's their gun yet is nowhere near the same player he was at Manly). Problem is that he either has no help or he's not even there because he's out injured.

NRL 2019: Brad Fittler names Manly Sea Eagles as his smokey for the premiership

Manly are the only team capable of beating the Storm, Rabbitohs or Roosters to the 2019 premiership, according to NSW Origin coach Brad Fittler.

The Sea Eagles currently sit fifth on the ladder despite most pre-season predictions having them at the other end of proceedings.

Speaking on Channel Nine's Freddy & The Eighth on Thursday, Fittler said Des Hasler's side were the only threat to the current top three.

"The Sea Eagles have got Melbourne twice (in the run home), they've got a pretty tough run but I feel like they're my smokey," Fittler said.

"I think if any team is going to beat that top three, it's the Sea Eagles."

In Hasler's first year back on the peninsula, Manly have been the surprise packets of the season, though both Fittler and Immortal Andrew Johns fancy the current top three.

Johns also flagged his concerns for his former club Newcastle, with Nathan Brown's side dropping four of their last five.

"I'm terrified about my Knights," Johns said.

"If a team's going to fall out, it's going to be the Knights.

"I've got the Knights scraping in. I think it will all come down to round 25 against the Panthers."


Fittler also had Newcastle qualifying for the finals on the grounds that their competition for a spot was similarly unreliable.

"I just feel the other teams are as inconsistent as the Knights. I just don't feel like anyone's going to jump them," Fittler said.

Looks like Freddy has finally seen the light
