Some interesting stats. Of note was 7 tries from Roosters came through the edge of Parker, Garrick, Gosiewski and Foran....Foran is arguably the only first grader.
We let them all go. Api, zdc, levi and Edwin Ipape were our hookers the last couple of years and we allowed them all to leave.Honestly, my biggest take away from that article was the line "with no other specialist fullback in the top 30"
How the hell do we have 1 fullback and 0 hookers in the top 30..... What the hell do we have then ????
1 and 9 make up half of the spine (arguably the most important 4 positions), yet Manly have next to none of half these positions....
Souths are the worst team to play in the NRL when you have defensive woes.The rain might slow them down but still won’t save us.
Koula is a full back and is in there top 30. Hes a kid and Des doesnt throw in kids. But hes an option.Honestly, my biggest take away from that article was the line "with no other specialist fullback in the top 30"

They can be bullied offensively, but in attack if they start to dominate they pick apart defenses out wide better than any other team IMHO. Walker and Reymolds, Campbell-Graham, and Johnstone are absolute pests when on the front foot if you don't have a team that can bully them defensively. Note these guys don't do much in origin.
Regardless of what Manly score, I think if they keep Souths below 24 points in this game it will be progress.
I'm even thinking of going to the game so I stand there in the pouring rain and yell at Little Rabbit Dylan every time he is sluggish to get up. I should be able to a nice spot close to the fence

And our 5/8 copped another injury on round 1 to add to a long list of chronic injuries.Honestly, my biggest take away from that article was the line "with no other specialist fullback in the top 30"
