When i suggested that Jamil could be sought out for the main Manly squad for next season, was assuming that Manase would not be available for next season. Did not see him play this season but for Black Town last season Jamil showed a really good work rate , resilient enough to play in the middle , some natural skills and versatile . Still not sure with both Cust and Croker "s ability to cope with the defensive rigors of playing as 9 "s . Nothing these days for a N R L [ especially low profile ] player to be released from a contract . Maybe still some other available and suitable 9 "s out there , again certainly contingent if Manase is definitely out for next season but converted 9 "s or utility type players adapting there at N R L level is nothing new
