You’d have to say if we do sign Carney that for both his experience and kicking prowess young Lachie might have to be a back up at best!
Wow, coaches studying opposition teams' playmakers! That mole really does get the scoops.
They should run at him as 1) he can tackle and 2) they wont see the hit Thommo will be lining up to put on them!
Jeez a lot of NRL footage they must have watched to identify that weakness.
Considering both Croker and Kelly will play on the same side it’s obvious they will target that side. However what the brains trust of Newcastle have probably forgotten is that maybe, just maybe TB has been working on that side of defence considering how weak it was last season with Green, Kelly, Wright. Thommo and Jorge will add some experience and strength to that side anyway!!
Excited for Friday that’s for sure!!

By Baz today on Croker:
"He's an out-and-out half. He's got a very good kicking game and is a very good defender Crokes and he's a tough kid as well.
"He and Cherry get along particularly well and the spine's looked really settled. I certainly don't see any teething problems there."
Happy to read the the parts in bold.

And yet here he is scouring the market for another 5/8 in Pearce, Carney and many others.
I don't think its any reflection on Crokers ability. Its called depth especially experienced depth. If DCE goes down we are in all sorts.

I discriminate indiscriminately
Found this really interesting... never dropped from 6... guess it's still his spot then...

I agree totally and think he just needs to be a bit more patient in attack. He wants to attack at all costs and made a couple of errors on the weekend. BUT if they came off we make big yards. I think he will have a big game against the Sharks.

He's done well and will only get better.... I think he needs time to form some combinations and the rest will come. He plays hard for us, you can't doubt that!
So he is ... the reigning lineal Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Five-Eighth!!Found this really interesting... never dropped from 6... guess it's still his spot then...

He is similar in enthusiasm but that's about it. He is far more polished as a half than Reynolds, though probably not quite as dynamic a runner.
He is solid and a good defender and the outstanding thing about him is his courage . Last week he had a head clash with one of our players defending near our try line that cut his head open and blood pouring but he continued to put his body on the line with no fear and from memory saved a certain try with his fearless defence. That was outstanding . Outstanding Plays like that bring inspiration to our team

I just fear points for 6-8 weeks. Levi not a cut on api or fainu and dce never been good having total responsibility. I really can't see many tries, Suli will provide attack once back.
That act last week really made me take notice of Croker. Was very brave and selfless for the good of the team.
When a player is willing to die for the jersey he plays for he RISES to another level
Passion is an X factor
I would die for you Nicci
I can understand the way you are thinking as we have strike players out in Turbo , Walker and Suli but do not underestimate our Manly backs to the wall spirit and the ability of Parker , Funa and Elliott . I am looking forward to our resilient building 8 weeks ahead . Tough times create tough men so sit back and watch our Manly boys grow to another level

He is regaining his confidence. Expect him to go to a whole new level in attack from here on in. Walker will not be returning to 5/8 unless Croker gets injured again i believe
So you preparing us for a trip down the rabbit hole??
