Pretty spot on assessment, our bench as it stands of Bullemore, walker, paseka and Keppie our bench. I expect Ben turbo will be a lot more comfortable next seasonDefinitely exceeded my expectations and added much needed energy in limited game time, but to be honest will struggle to get a spot in the 17, the addition of Bullemore will not help....but great depth and personality, I like what he brings and wish him well.....gutsy type and I'm a fan of that slso
I would like to see him get an opportunity. Who knows, he may be above Bullemor in the pecking order at the start of the season? Last year's finals team was very much shaped by early season injuries to key players. There are no guarantees as to how next season will unfold.Andrew Davey came here with good wraps terrible injury in round 3.
Adding him and Bullmore to our already growing pack, exciting times. It's really important that we have taken forward steps with our roster. We didn't back up our good seasons after 2017 and 2019 because we regressed in the quality of roster. So I'm hoping with us only adding positives to this developing contending squad, we can actually back up a good season, the first time since 2013, and keep our premiership window open.

Will never happen Nightster, but certainly get your thoughts here....the bloke is the perfect example of giving 100% and is no nonsense....set's the example with his actions and if he found the NRL at a younger age - could well be a coach favourite and more importantly a bloke the players want to play for, due to his all in attitude.and he is the perfect role model for the young guys ..... he would have been an awesome captain... probably missed that boat
He a tough bugger and has life experienceHe was injured in Round 2, not Round 3.
In Round 1 he got the 3 points as Manly's best player in our MVP poll, and next game only lasted about 3 minutes before injury.
If he can get his knee right I'm sure Des will give him an opportunity. Des values hard work and never-say-die attitude above just about anything, even talent. Exhibit A, Lachie Croker
We’ll put good sir. The notion of a “top 17” is irrelevant these days. Rarely if ever are the best 17 available. You carry a squad and select the best of what’s available. Everybody needs to be ready to step up and play their part. I feel Master Davey is a valuable asset to our club. His luck with injury will change and his determination to succeed will rub off on others. I think he’ll offer more to this squad next year than we think!Perspective time
The Gutsy Davey has a history of determination and resilience and he is not forgotten by those that value those great characteristic qualities
The worst possible mindset a coach can set in his players is that they own their NRL 2021 positions
NRL positions on the field are leased not owned as a player is only as good as their last game
and in our last few games in the finals few players can vouch for their starting spots
No one should own a starting position in 2022 and every player in our 30 man squad should compete for a starting spot
One thing for sure is that the Gutsy and resilient Davey is a competitor
