Mann picked to wear the number 7

[Frank Facer]

Finally Mary has picked Mann to wear the number 7. Myself and many others on this forum were calling for a Widdop Mann halves pairing at the start of the year. I have continued to call for it. I don't know if Mann will be success at halfback, but he has to be an improvement on Mcrone. I am hoping that it will be a success and that Mann will add another dimension to our attack.

McCrone isn't the answer at 7, so fair enough.

Trouble is, neither is Mann.

 

[Saints Forever]

Just hope Mann is given at least 3 full games at 7 to gel with the team

May you eat many a humble pie my friend.

You know what, if we go on to fail from here, and Mary sticks with Mann or even tries other NEW options, I will literally be okay with that. I will not get up Mary for failing if at least he f**king tried.

But if we stick with McCrone, it's literally almost a certainty.

Mann is a poor man's Jason Hooper. Can fill a gap here and there.

Just lifting the blinkers off some on here.

As long as he doesn't kick the ball dead constantly he'll be an improvement, and we'll be happy to have him there until Hunt arrives.

 

[Saintsified]

i reckon he will end up being a superstar 7

I'd say the only problem is, he hasn't been retained for 2018 and beyond as yet. I've been calling for this halves combo all season mainly because Mann seems to possess all the skills to do well at halfback.

Now we have an offer to Hutch and Mann on the table and neither player has accepted the offer as yet. Seeing that Hunt will be our halfback next year, it would have been better for the Dragons if Mann was already retained. If Mann is a success, you can be sure that other clubs will be standing in line with offers superior to ours.

Stgeorge don't put offers on the table for existing players until either the player leave us in frustration or they are playing so well others pounce.

Mark my words - Dugan and Packer will be massive voids in 2018. Experience is essential to build great youth around unless you have a miracle event like 1977 when we had so many rock stars at once who all went on and made it as true champions of the game.

Hey Gitano
Get off this post
We all know you don't like Mann
But stop crying like a little schoolgirl about it

Hope Mann & his manager don't now want Halfback money in their deep discussions with Millward!!! This is brewing to be another mess.

If it means McCrone sitting on the bench, I'm prepared to give him the season.

Disagree. I reckon he will be like Clint Gutherson, capable of filling a few positions, a dangerous runner and a match winner on his day.

When I saw the team list with Mann at 7 and McCrone at 17, I climaxed

 

[RedVDragon]

Mann is a natural footballer he has a good read on the game and when he play in the halves he did well.

I cheered when I saw no McCrone in the list. Had to look twice, finally Mary about time.

He want kick much the kicking will be Widdop's along with the running of the team

I actually like the idea of McCrone being on the bench,especially at the expense of Milne.I think giving McInness a short breather can only be a good thing to keep him a bit fresher.And should a back go down he moves into 1/2 with Mann replacing the injured.
