Understandably, everyone is focusing on the great signings.
But let's think about the outgoings in last two years:
- Watmough: injured, headed for retirement.
- G Stewart: Struggling in Super League
- Foran: possibly injured. Persistent hamstring problems
- Hasson: Not even in Parra reserve grade side (is he injured?)
- Jessie SL: Not in first grade this week at Sharks
- Ligi Sao: Not in first grade this week at Warriors
- Cheyse Blair: Injured at Storm
- Ballin: injured to round 10 at Tigers
- Mason: to France
- Chee Kam: probably not in Tigers first grade (18th man in weak team)
- Littlejohn: halfback due to injury in Tigers
- Dumanis Lui - probably Dragons bench (wish we'd kept him instead of Burgess etc)
- Gutherson: winger in Eels
- Hiku: centre in Panthers
By my count, 3 maybe 4 of all those players Manly let go are playing first grade this week.Pretty fair outcome for us.
Bozo made the tough calls to let players go and, so far at least, they are paying off.
