Needs to be fed by Schuster with Koula outside of them. Move them to left edge or move Schu to the right.Needs to be used more like Shaun Lane, where Dylan Brown seems to link up well with him.

And Parker 🤦♂️Even without the players that are out this weekend
We really do have some weapons that can do some damage
Haumole
Shuster
Koula
Saab
Garrick
Paseka
All we need is a coach that can do some justice to the roster
Still no word on his extension 😩. But seems to be happy at Manly😉 one of his best games last weekend.
He extended to 2025 last year. Are you expecting something else?
Haumole Olakau'atu Re-Signs with the Sea Eagles
Haumole is locked in until the end of 2025www.seaeagles.com.au
Easier said than done, Ola attracts 3 and 4 defenders all grabbing his arms and legs, trying to get an off load away in traffic is risky business. It'll come with maturity, in the meantime he's a nightmare for opposing teams to deal with.He really needs to develop an offload and a passing game.. He has the skills for it.. i saw it more in the youth games.. but so far in the NRL.. he has been told not to or hes choosing not to.. not sure.
Once he develops this side of his game.. he will be unbelievable. At the moment the defenders just rush at him as they know hes just going to charge it up. Create some doubt and put Koula and co away.
That's what I thought as well, end of 25 wont take long to pass. Maybe that's what Ola wants.I might be wrong but I thought they were trying to extend him further.
I read that also.I might be wrong but I thought they were trying to extend him further.
Yes but theres been many opportunities for him to pass and he hasnt.Easier said than done, Ola attracts 3 and 4 defenders all grabbing his arms and legs, trying to get an off load away in traffic is risky business.

I get what your sayin, but the way Ola just explodes into the line I doubt he'd get an offload away safely tho. Sure, if it's a clean bust with support backing up I'd be disappointed to if he didn't look to pass it.Yes but theres been many opportunities for him to pass and he hasnt.
Probably doesn't need to do the offload now, especially with Lodge onboard. He's made a few of those passes already. Now if we can get another forward of a similar mould, we would be looking a lot better.I get what your sayin, but the way Ola just explodes into the line I doubt he'd get an offload away safely tho.

Totally agree. It's not like he's slacked off. He's still putting in the work even though he's well marked now. He is entitled to have a bad game. Meanwhile you have players that can't string two good games in consecutive weeks.He's one of my favourite players at Manly. I am surprised he has copped some criticism of late (although everyone is entitled to their opinion). I think he has had a consistent season, it's just that the purple patch he had early on, set the benchmark. I think teams are well aware of the threat and he is heavily marked now. We just need to be better at getting him one on one with defenders. The only way that happens is with ruck speed.
