Post-Game Discussion Manly v Eels [Round 21, 2022]

[manly al]

This is the main position we need to look at can, Lawton, Fainu,Croker ,Shu fill this void high work rate good defence and ball playing ability close to a 80min player

Is concerning that there are not a lot of options at present . Admittedly Jake did play a lot more time at 13 before Walker started his useful role there but many other sides have quality , all round good 13 "s now , particularly in attack . .

Jake will continue to do a great job at 13 and Lawton will do a better one at 14 in 2023 .We need our props ,Aloiai ,Paseka ,Keppie ,Sipley ,Boyle to move up a level from this year .We are looking great for 2023 and onwards .

Jake's the best defender in the comp, but he couldn't make a break in a Kit Kat factory. Whilst he is a 'must' selection in our pack he is not going to make our team any better next season.
We need another 'mongrel' prop. Al is currently the best of our bunch but he gets injured a lot. Tent has had the potential for several seasons but he too is injury prone. Lance rarely even gets onto the field. Sippers has played well this season but Keppie has had his second poor season in a row.
Unless we have another 'enforcer' we'll not be able to compete with those top teams who have tough packs.
Guacca has the size and ability to be a superstar but he'll need help. 'Kitty', the recruit from the Tigers, should be a step up from Davey who has played to his potential but is more a worker than a star.
For the last few season our top 17-20 look competitive, but we seem to cop more injuries than most and so luck plays a big part in a team's success.
