Manly pack clearly outplayed the Rooster 's pack in that qualifying final though Roosters did have an off night , Collins may improve them a bit but the Manly pack should again have their measure next season . Keary is a key player for them along obviously with Teddy but hopeful again that Manly [ relatively injury free ] can more then match their line up next season. Roosters however would still surely be expected to be in the 8 at a minimum
Agree mate….just not convinced Walker & Sualii are anything special. The way everyone carried on about Sualii sounded like he was the next immortal in waiting! Walker had a few moments, then got bashed a few times ensuring he got dropped to the bench. I dunno let’s see how 2022 pans out.
Suaalli was passive, seemed quiet and overawed on the field.
True MA, a lot of so called experts were tipping against us on this game. But kudos to us we did what good teams should do and put the weakened Roosters to the sword.
I'm hoping Burbo might be a bolter for one of the centre positions. If he comes along according to his potential he could be anything.
To be fair Sualii was only 17. Agree he didn't offer much but what 17 year old would stand out at NRL level? Same kind of argument could be used for Schuster, the way some carried on about him you'd think he was an immortal in waiting too but if you watched some of his performances you'd be questioning that. Same as Albert Hoppa... The list goes on. I expect both Sualii and Schuster will be superstars, just can't expect too much too soon, especially a a 17 year old. When I was 17 years old I was a 75kg pimple faced pip squeak. I couldn't imagine ever playing NRL at that agent alone expected to be a star straight away.
I know mate & agree but Schuster did show in his early games what he was capable of & was earmarked by Benji for stardom. Also the hype around Schuster was nowhere near what was said about Sualii! The hype around Sualii was front page headlines….what followed wasn’t much of a story. I’m thinking there’s a reason South’s didn’t break the bank to hold onto him??? Maybe he will become a star but from what he showed last year there were other kids who showed plenty more. Good luck to the kid & I hope he shows something but I just think he’s overrated. Schuster everyday of the week for mine & that’s not because he plays for Manly. Can’t wait to see young Latu Fainu play NRL….
Ide love to see it... The backrow looks pretty set so if burbo wants game time maybe centres is it..
Big story on nine news last night about him, calling him a future origin star, what a joke, what's he done ffs,much better unheralded players going around imo
Agree , we leaked far to many points even in games we won , roster is pretty good but like others here we need a hooker ( will he ever be able to play )
Hard to judge Sualii with injuries and limited time and is going to be a very good player, with Walker he has some flashy moments, but imo appears 1 of those players riddled with critical mistakes/missed tackles....but is very young, so could end up a Keary type player.
There are a lot of potential young players coming through in all clubs and I'm sure at the end of 2022 there will be some no one wouldn't have expected to announce their arrival in the NRL in such a fashion. It happens every year but usually just a few players.
