The Eagle Eye
Reserve Grader
These players are off contract at the end of 2016... Some of these players should be resigned and others let go.
- Luke Burgess - Halauafu Lavaka - Siosaia Vave
- Pita Godinet - Brenton Lawrence - Brayden Williame
- Fabian Goodall - Blake Leary - Rhys Armstrong
- Nathan Green - Feleti Mateo
- Jayden Hodges - Hugh Pratt
- Nicholas Hynes - Tony Satani
- Isaac John - Josh Starling
- Dylan Kelly - Jorge Taufua
Players who Manly should resign IMO-
- Pita Godinet - 1 year (He can cover hooker or halves and he's been great this year but needs to work on his defence).
- Fabian Goodall - 1 year (He's playing out of position in NSW cup but we should keep him since Satani may be leaving).
- Nathan Green - 2 years (Great cover for second row if they get injured or suspended)
- Nicholas Hynes - 1 year (He would make a great combination with Isaac John in NSW cup IMO)
- Isaac John - 1 year (He can cover in halves if Daly is injured)
- Dylan Kelly - 2 years (Apparently he's playing well in NSW cup so might as well keep him) Lol.
- Halauafu Lavaka - 1 year (Very close on making his debut but not this year and he is very dangerous with the ball)
- Jorge Taufua - 3 years (He's improving under the high ball and he's a great finisher)
- Brayden Williame - 1 year (I don't mind him, he's doing his job and he's not making silly mistakes like he did in the beginning of the year. But I think centre is his best position).
- Rhys Armstrong - 1 year (I don't know him so might as well resign him).
Players who should be let go IMO-
- Luke Burgess - Super league (I think he'll end up in super league IMO)
- Jayden Hodges - Cowboys or Super League (Pita Godinet is slightly better IMO)
- Brenton Lawrence - Tigers or retire (We have so many props next year, I wish he can stay but I think he'll leave)
- Blake Leary - Super League or another NRL club (I don't rate him and we we already have small forwards - Lewis Brown and Jamie Buhrer)
- Feleti Mateo - Retire (I think this is his last season to be honest, he can't crack into the side)
- Hugh Pratt - Another NRL club (Great player but we have to many hookers next year)
- Tony Satani - Knights (Apparently he's signed with Knights I've heard, I'm not sure but
Goodall should cover his position at left winger in NSW cup)
- Josh Starling - Sharks (I think he could be David Fifita's replacement and we have to many props next year)
- Siosaia Vave - Eels (He's signed with the Eels, your career will be ruined big Vave)
Remember this is my opinion... We're going to have a big forward pack with a great backline next season.
Players who we should target for 2017-
- Tui Lolohea (He could partner DCE nicely)
- Joseph Manu (He would be a great replacement for Steve Matai who could retire this year)
- Francis Molo (He can be part of our depth, prop is his best position)
- Blake Green (Another option who could partner DCE next season).
