I agree. Surely those two offer more. Shipley was great last year
Taniela Paseka is he the answer?

He's not a standout
Why's Sipley not there?

If his job was to not do very much in attack or defence, I agree.
I kid, I kid. AFB makes all the other front rowers look substandard and Taniela didn't do anything wrong. But I'd still have Keppie, Boyle and Sipley ahead of him if I could.
Sorry but he’s ****ing terrible , never ever thought he was good enough and tonight on first proved it!!

I don't disagree with you often Mark but I thought Tent had a real go tonight.
He’s as lazy as all ****!!
Gets the ball, ambles to the line , then turns so he he can get a pass away which NEVER happens and submits easily.
Never saw him bend the line once.
But , that’s just an opinion of course.
Might have played more minutes tonight than he has before and is clearly still adjusting to first grade. Tends to jink or think too much (?!) when taking a hit up instead of just launching that massive frame at the defence. Continues to improve, we lost Marty so it was a big effort and tonight might be very good for his confidence.
Unpopular opinion but I thought Paseka was fine tonight.
I think sometimes he is a victim off his size in the sense that fans expect more of him then our other bench props (Yes I know he started but that is tactical, AFB and Marty are our 1 and 2)
To compare him against Keppie based on NRL.coms stats

And dont get me wrong the above is not to wrap him nor to have a go at Keppie, moreso I just don't get the venom that Paeka cops.
Sure you can argue for Toff or Boyle but I dont think its clear cut and Des sees them all week in training so I'm willing to back him.
Also lets not forget Paseka is extremely young for a prop

Not really sure why he isn’t copping it after last night, made over 100m and made his tackles and a few of his runs got us involved the front foot. He had 2 tackles breaks compared to 3 for AFB

Look, Paseka wasn't "bad" as such against Brisbane last night. However, its about time he started using his size and strength to his (and obviously our) advantage. The guy is 6'6" (197 cm) and 120 kg and is easily the biggest forward Manly has not to mention one of the biggest currently in the NRL. He should be a dominating forward, yet he's more like a gentle giant at times.
When we were down 6-0 last night there were 2-3 times that he had a chance to crash over and score from close range. Yet each time instead of charging for the line he tried to back in against the defence and look for an offload that was never going to happen. He needs to back himself and go hard.
Taniela needs to shed the gentle giant tag and get more aggression into his game ... I wish I could change the record, I've been saying that for 2 years.
