The Youth at Manly side is Super Exciting !!

[maxta]

Young forwards like Paseka, Keppie, Guoc, Schu are not just in great form, but also adding energy and electricty in the middle.
The side has a few glitches and errors, but certainly not stagnent and tired...the Attitude is an A at this time and I say the youngsters have a lot to do with it and deserve Massive credit for the shape this side is taking and the improvement as a team.
The same for the outside backs like Saab and Harper, what they lack in experience, they more than make up for with competitive desire and have the speed we craved in recent lacklustre seasons.
When you consider there are a few promising guns yet to debut, who could well feature in the near future and have Star quality also - things from Manly are looking so Promising and personally, have an excted feeling similar to the buildup of our last Golden period which produced 2 Premierships and should have been more....
Add the Missing link Mr Fainu and we go from Top 8 to Top 4 instantaniously and I have a feel even if we don't see him in 2021, the quick, energetic Lawton could well inject more impact through the middle third and end up being a very smart inclusion.

We are miles from where we were to end last year.

The days of paying big money for old players is over.

We definitely don't want to see anymore Nate Myles type of signings that was a disaster.

Old Trent Hodgkinson was a similar disaster

Lets hope so, youth is the key with the right mix of experience

one month ago many were questioning where we was heading, myself included.

This is great news.

Or that bloke we got from the Bears in the early 90's

This is indeed exciting times. I now hope that Des will be able to earmark these players before blooding them through over the next couple seasons. I am hoping we can handle our youth like Penrith have and not like the Broncs.

Old Trent Hodgkinson was a similar disaster
