Young Forwards - Do we have any?

Bailey Simonsen as well.

Hot Tamale from the raiders as well apparently

The Roosters are smart in their ability to get quality talent into the ranks very early; they claim them as juniors but they're not local boys. They've just been brought to the club at Harold Matts level. We should do the same but we look in the wrong places. Western Sydney is a market flooded with other NRL clubs competing for talent. Manly should have been smart about the Central Coast years ago, when the joint venture crumbled. The area was there for the taking.

Manly just do not have the money the clubs with a real chance of winning have, either from a leagues club or super wealthy owners willing to do what it takes and make a loss year after year for their love of the club. Thank the long shadow of Super League (leagues club) and the GFC (Delmege). Very sad. Go Manly.

Is anyone actually taking Tamale or Simonsson over Saab or Hoppa anyway? Every team loses junior players it’s just how it goes

He was somebody else’s junior.

Meanwhile Scott, seen here with brother Brett,

was too busy scouring the Never Never. That is everything west of the Roseville Bridge - but more particularly west of the Silverwater Bridge - for talent, when he missed this Belrose (a real Manly junior) player:

Wish Latu could of stayed someone else's junior and not our's.

Wish Latu could have stayed someone else's junior and not our's.

Has all the talent but his injury track record is looking really bad for someone that hasn’t even turned 20 yet. May have dodged a bullet on this 1 but time will tell
