It's only a game ...
After the Penrith debacle, I decided not to watch any live games till Turbo returns. I no longer have expectations for the team this year - any win is a bonus. For the moment, I've lost faith in Des after several myopic team selections in the last couple of years. It seems every team now has Manly worked out - force an early error, score an early try by kicking to Jorge's wing, after which the Sea Eagles never gain composure. At this point in time, Miski would be a better option than Jorge - similar style of player, but more pace - don't think he made significant errors in his three games last year & deserves another opportunity.
Anyway, on to the title of this post. I think we may have more Tongan players in our squad than any other club. Thus, in in 2021, if all players are fit, I would like to see this Mate Ma'a (Die For) Manly Sea Eagles team on the field in 2021. Some may question why T-Rex and why no Keppie or Taupau? In answer, I would suggest this team has more attacking potency than any team selected so far this year. If Staggs (another Tongan) could be added, better still!
Random question: Could Jake's skills be better utilized on an edge rather than the middle? Does he have sufficient ability & pace to be a Wade Graham type back rower?
