This would be my starting 17 except Sipley gets the 8 (until Lodge is fit) and Schu is locked in on the bench in place of Matto.

Schu, Jake A, Josh A, Humphries, Lawton, weekes, Talua, all battle it out to get game time.
Personally think we finish 6th to 11th…

Agree with this. Burbo only just turned 22. Next year is his breakout year. Gordy too.
Schu doesn’t deserve a starting or even bench spot ahead of the others.
We need to offload Josh A and pref Schu

[Pete W]

Bayley Sironen is being released by Warriors. Get on that Seibs.

With Burbo, Schuster, and possibly Parker making up our backrow stocks for next year, we will need an experienced and quality addition here. Fits our needs perfectly and won't break the bank

(If this can be accomplished, still need an elite pack alpha in the middle, and a decent centre. 3 key signings, and a little luck with long term injury, away from a decent Manly line up)

Jake Toby for Fullback

Jake Toby for Fullback

Why when you have Turbo & Koula who are both significantly better?

 

[ManlyTragic]

As long as Turbo is in our team for the majority of the season we'll win more matches than we lose. Getting into the top eight is realistically what we can expect.

I think I read that our winning percentage is 66% when turbo is playing . If we win 66% of our games I think that qualifies for top 4!

Some stat person will correct me I am sure!

My team too, although i'm sure Turbo will go back to FB and Koula to Centre.

Only change from this lineup for mine depends on Lodge's contract sitch and injury return date.

Gotta have Lodge in there somewhere after the little we saw of him this year. He brings something the others don't. Likely at the expense of Keppie or Sipley depending on form (Sipley ahead based on recent form)

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Jake Toby for Fullback

Maybe if Toula, Garrick and Turbo all go down to injury. Pretty intrigued with what Clayton Fualalo can do though.

 

[40 nil]

I think I read that our winning percentage is 66% when turbo is playing.

I just did some quick calculations. According to the site below, Turbo's winning average over 9 seasons is 53.82%. His best seasons are 2019 (83.33%) & 2021 (72.22%).

However, over the last five seasons, his winning percentage is close to 62%

I was meant to respond DCE007's NSW Cup team which he/she left the fullback spot blank in his 2024 YART. Toby in the NSW cup fullback spot.

[CRPSI eagle]

Now Brooks is coming I’m assuming he will get kicking duties as he is a better kicker than Garrick, I don’t think Garrick makes the 17 squad.
Good back up though.

How do you come to that conclusion?

He has kicked 23 goaks in his NRL 11 year career.
