Jamie Humphreys

So we've lost another young potential quality halfback because of the overpaid over hyped origin hero goose.
Sure looks that way, if you were going to play Humphries, surely tonight was going to be the night. If he's leaving, this should come out fairly quickly you'd think.
 
So, given Humphreys doesn’t seem to be in serious contention, what exactly is our succession plan for half? Surely, we are not expecting Arthur to take over from DCE long term? Is there somebody else in lower grades we are seriously expecting to come through?

We have zero , because we aren't a club with any sort of plan.

Bunting could have some say in it, haven’t seen him in his two NSW cup games, has some wraps on him, came from the Panthers system to Manly.
 
Is this the uninformed/ill-informed ‘jumping at shadows’ thread?

The one where people speculate about the reasons why (behind a selection decision) - based on nil evidence - with their speculation becoming ‘fact’?

It’s a little bit like a Trumpian echo chamber. That’s a dangerous thing.

I have no idea why he wasn't selected,I know he is a left footer and mainly plays on the left,maybe(?)that had something to do with it?
Talau was a half as a junior,but probably asking a lot for him to play there after so long as centre/wing.
As to DCE succession plans...I think Bunting or Arthur are probably the guys on that right side for now.
Dowell in Ball and particularly local jr Davies in Matthews are further down the track.
Davies is one to watch,solid build,takes on the line and quick,good vision and passing game,good defense and kicking game,he is a serious prospect.Alexander plays more on the left but Davies has probably outshone him this year.
For me ,I would have had Humphreys at 7 and Talau at centre with Vaega on the wing,but that is just my two cents worth.

Vaega was named in the 22 jersey for FG on Tuesday but didn’t play reggies yesterday.Not sure what his story was this week
