This Manly team will be missing the BEST tackler in modern day footy...
Jake does so much work that we have come to expect it, but that middle will be far looser without him.
The amount of critical tackles Every game are simply expected, not sure who can go close to filling this void, though there will be big expectations for Waddell to step up.
Truth is, you can't replace Jake and it will be a defensive lift over the entire park to help somewhat fill this void.
An area Penrith still offer power is in this forward pack, with a few overlooked for origin that will still want a "Remember me" game to the selectors, which adds extra Attitude required in this area, as there's no secret that Penrith will play tough and direct - straight up the guts.
Personally looking forward to see how the middle holds up, though must confess - no Jake has me very concerned.
