Manly Rebuild 2017

Sounds great - until you start rattling off squads like The Panthers, The Storm & others. We are far, FAR behind those other clubs both on and off the park.

This roster is a good 11th - 15th team. Just hope The Knight's don't leap frog us.

No way in hell, I get that's your opinion but here's mine, no matter how bad our 2016 side was it managed to finish 13th, right. So in 2017, with the core of that side, plus a quality 5/8, signings with plenty of potential (good or bad we'll have to see), and finally, well we can only hope anyway... NO Shocking Injury Tolls. That was the thing in 2016, injuries. 2017 we are starting fresh and a top 8 finish is likely. Your negativity is rubbing off onto others, if we think logically well then we are set to do a hell lot better than 2016. Remember 2016's side was nothing like the best available one due to injuries, whereas 2017's is the main core of 2016's best side although greatly improved (mainly because we actually have a halves pairing and a backline now), I for one, cannot stress that enough
