This kid scored exactly the same try last week too, he is an exeptional talent and we need to keep him for the long term
I wonder what would have happened if Williams was playing on the wing? I dare say we would have been into extra time. Well done Oldfield. He just needs to improve in defence and remember to mark his man.
Or a ready replacement for Robbo when he retires. Either way it is nice to have players waiting in the wings that can not only cover a position in the event of injury, but dominate it.
I thought he was Ok in the forwards, but I don't think he has any place in the backs with the current depth. He still looks completely uninterested though. Watch a replay of Georgies try and he is camera shot, in the perfect position to see him put the ball down and absolutely no reaction whatsoever.
T Rex had a game for us tonight I wont call it solid but ill call it alot better than the backs He was better than Kite FFS
I'd still hate to lose Robbo Spud...he's safe as a Bank, yet doesn't hog the glory. Perfect team player. Kite was ordinary as others have alluded to. Good point though about Oldfield / Robbo.
I think we are in good stead with the current crop of newcomers that are there just biding their time. I have the utmost respect for Robbo, he has played something like 150 games straight without suffering an injury and was a 3 try hero in 2008. Yes he is getting a bit slower but he is mister reliable and puts his heart and soul into every game he plays. Michael Oldfield is new to the circuit, so to speak, and is a very dynamic young player and will have many years of Footy ahead of him. It is a very tough call for Des to drop Robbo for Oldfield or Snake for Hoppa or Wolfman for Whare. but it is a very good headache to have. I think Manly will be a solid team for the 2-3 years at least
