I think Uate has been better value

 

[ricardo]

Dylan Walker and Brian Kelly haven't been bad either. Green also going well.

I still think the biggest mistake that Kidwell made with the Anzac test was starting Russell Packer and having Marty start on the bench. By the time Marty got on the field, the game was pretty much gone and the Kiwis were on the back foot.

Exactly, dumb coach of kiwis.

Marty is the best signing for Manly since we snared that kid from Wee Waa.


(Unless there's someone I've forgotten!)

I thought he was better suited to prop but completely changed my opinion now. I think he is the best prop in game atm without question. He runs onto the ball at pace getting over the advantage line with ease, then adds footwork before the line to attract 2 or 3 defenders or make them miss, then can get a ball away onto of that! Add his size and aggression and footwork plus a dam good defender he is number one!
We need to extend his contract! He definitely warrants a pay rise if blokes like packer are getting 700k and woods 800k. I think marty is only on 500k?

I have had to change my thinking on Marty"s most effective position this season also . At the start of the season , i thought back row, { But he also did have a slight problem with lateral defence , there ] . However in recent times , definitely prop , and like AFB, a genuine strength and power player . I think that Marty's contract has already been extended until 2020 , and let"s hope that he is contented with the arrangements

Wasted in the second row, though I'd consider it for smaller packs. He is a prop with footwork and strength. Putting him in the second row is like putting trex on the wing

painful memory, t-rex on the wing. so much promise

 

[pjayz]

Love the guy - such an awesome player. He is more than just strong, he can offload, he is aggressive and passionate which rubs off on his team mates. He is our enforcer.

where her earned the Queen Mary tag, and grew into FIFI

 

[winnyason]

On signing i would hope club is trying to extend AFB further

 

[mickqld]

Absolutely the best prop. Meters after impact are just phenominal as is Jake. These 2 are the top prop and lock in the game.

 

[Ryan]

Not sure if it's system, coaching, players, whatever, but since Trent took over, we've gone from one of the lower metre gainage teams to one of the best.

 

[Chip and Chase]

and he can lift really heavy things

But Ryan, don't you know Twenty can't coach @strone33 keeps telling me and I believe everything I read on Silvertails!

Haha...mate, I thought picking Wright over Hastings was crook, or at least putting Walker back there and Brown into the centres was a better idea, so I can't cast any stones at anyone else for their opinions

I honestly thought given The Titans form the past 3 weeks, we were gonski, but boy, how bad was I wrong.

Apart from that extra spark in attack we lost nothing ( in fact possibly gained something ) with Wright as FB.

Clearly a far more experienced player and defensively was in the best spot all of the time, that's a small criticism I have of TT but he's only learning.

For a lesser man than I, it would be embarrassing to be continually proven correct ... but then again, I am used to it.

Wright was very solid, played great. Tom would have had a field day last night with all the holes in Titans defence. Wright has been training since November at fullback and last night it showed. Well done Trentster

"Strobe light" is very conspicuous by his absence!
