Manly Warringah Sea Eagles
Development players for 2021.
I see Fainu as an outstanding talent ans his mobility and engine are ideal for the modern game
Very young and (I believe) not eligable till later in the season and to be fair to this potential champion, there is NO rush for a front rower to debut.....he will get his shot and be a Seaeagle for many years.
Saddler has always reminded me of a David Klemmer type...tall and rangy with aggression, suprised did not get a run in 2020, but you never know, could be a show and add mongrel we lacked (Aloiai definately will)
Weekes was a schoolboy sprint star who has represented NSW at junior level, the raves from good judges about his speed and evasive skills hopefully add up to another quality back who just maybe the half Manly are hoping to fill in at 7 in good time....I have not seen much of him, so happy to run with the fact he is a boom youngster with potential.
Jade Anderson - Well this bloke must be 38yo ???
Seems to have been in he mix the past 10 years and tbh, looked like our answer to Addo Carr in the juniors with dynamic speed and evasiveness, plus that sniff to push up on the footy at pace and read the offload....he did at times have some poor drops in his game and his defence was reasonable, not great, which I feel has held him back from a debut....but Manly still have him around so someone rates his potential so never say never...but can't see it, particularly with the new outside back signings
