No end in sight

C’mon… if you really wanna play pro footy that badly, you take the chance that is given (let alone the dozen different opportunities). How many kids have we seen do exactly that with their one or two limited chances? I’m constantly impressed by various newbies putting in and standing up in a game when given the chance. Weekes farrrkkked it big time, IMO. Doesn’t mean he won’t come good long term, but I have no problem with Manly letting him go when they did.
Enlighten me? Which players are you referring too?
 
A bloke called strange
Seriously mate, if Weekes was that good a 5/8 I think sticky would pick up on it. Scratching my memory Schuster was the next 5/8 when we released weekes, or maybe we already signed Brooks, but seems weekes was always a fullback regardless of team.
 
In my opinion manly have the best outside backs in the comp. Brooks has plenty to work with.We also had somewhat of a successful year. Much more than Canberra. There is so much more than what goes into these stats you mention. Or what helps equate to them.

I’m often watching games and listening to players in other teams I have never heard of, turning up and doing some great stuff. I would need to sit down and do a bit of research to give you actual names, TBH. Bostock is one that comes to mind off the top of my head, let along Strange himself whom you mentioned. Even the rugby convert for the Rorters has been decent. Shibasaki (though no rookie) has stood up for the donkeys and impressed. De Groot for the Titans has grabbed my attention at times… Players with limited opportunity initially, but made a fist of it.

Ok cool. Bostock has been in and out of the dolphins for a cpl of years now. He has only really hit his straps this year in fairness. Strange was given nearly a whole year at 6 last year and sticky is getting dividends from it now. The waga dude whatever is name is lol.. was a wallaby and I agree doing well. But obviously good stock as a wallaby. De Groot for me, verdict is still out, but maybe only getting a run coz foran is injured then Campbell goes back to fullback potentially? Nevertheless de Groot is getting game time there. Good for his development.
