Harry's Hypothetic...
Restoring Manly
(don't worry there's a yart nearby)
2018 Off Season;
- Release Lloyd Perrett, Akuila Uate, Shaun Lane (already gone), Jack Gosiewski, Lewis Brown, Jonothan Wright and maybe Lochlan Croker depending on how much his contract is.
- Attempt signing Corey Oates or Jayden Sua (or similar) to start in the second row alongside Thompson
- Attempt to sign Ken Maumalo from the Warriors to replace Taufua who will transition to a second-rower and fight it out with Siro to make the bench
- Attempt to add boring, no nonsense players to fill out remaining depth and introduce sense of productivity in this lazy side. Hope for one of Sauaso Sue or Suaia Matagi to join the depth
-Train Tom Wright as 5/8 or halfback for the entirety of the off season. His time is getting closer, 2019 will be his year.
2019 Off Season;
- Release Trent Hodkinson, the loser of Taufua vs Sironen, and the inferior of either Api Koroisau or Manese Fainu (only space for one hooker in top grade and Fainu will be forcing his way into first grade by now you'd expect)
- Attempt to sign the panther's under-utilised Waqa Blake to push past Suli into the starting backline
- Throw the bank at Cameron Murray, offer a reasonable contract to the Raider's Luke Bateman
- Release Addin Fonua-Blake unless he can up the ante in his effort. He isn't in shape, and that sends the wrong message to our side. We don't stack a side with size, otherwise we end up like the bulldogs, we stack a side with variety, talent and toughness
-Try lower some contracts of high-income earners such as Walker
Leaving us the following side (roughly, I understand how unrealistic this may be, although this is the type of side we need to work toward over the following two off seasons to restore manly, we don't have the juniors to do it unfortunately, as they've all been taken from the Western suburbs anyways. To be honest, I don't really see why this isn't achievable side). What direction do you believe we should go in the upcoming off seasons' to save manly?
1. Tom Trbojevic
2. Waqa Blake
3. Dylan Walker
4. Brian Kelly
5. Ken Maumalo
6. Tom Wright
7. Daly Cherry Evans
8. Jake Trbojevic
9. Apisai Koroisau/Mainese Fainu (only one stays at manly)
10. Martin Taupau
11. Corey Oates/Jayden Sua
12. Joel Thompson
13. Cameron Murray (very important, massive workload)
14. Jorge Taufua/Curtis Sironen (only one stays at manly)
15. Kelepi Tanginoa
16. Taniela Paseka
17. Luke Bateman
