Cross fingers Ballin can get through the season unscathed as his experience will b invaluable this season.

Just an update to see where our depth is coming from, looking at the ISP NSWRL site they have the reserve grade squad for 2017, hopefully there is someone there who can step up when needed .

Ash nisbet and Rhys Armstrong were both highly rated Australian schoolboys who haven't kicked in for whatever reason (AN behind a strong pack at cronulla and RA injuries).

Hopefully they can both kick on in new colours.

U can just see that bludger Sironen suddenly rolling up his sleeves & playing with intensity (ALA Blair for Broncos) for the scum from the northern beaches !!

Yep f**king pisses me off. But then again it's probs more to do with our coach

Early pre season form sironen looks like a good fit for Manly and looks like he'll be getting a starting 2nd row position too

Not so much the coach as the system.

 

[Tiger Ted]

It's f**king long overdue that this club toughens up & employs ruthlessness & cunning in how it does business otherwise we will continue to b in the doldrums & just making up the numbers.The poor work ethic & lack of grit & nous of the employees (in particular the players & coaching staff) & total lack of accountability is diabolical !

I've looked @ the rosters of our competitors for this season & if we deadset finish higher than 13th it will b a miracle !

So if Simona leaves/gets a big suspension we will be royally f**ked for depth in the backline.

Nofoaluma has apparently been training at Simona's centre position since the news of his alleged betting on games broke. Seems the club knew but did nothing (hence why they were so keen to let him go talk to the Titans).

This club is showing a complete lack of discipline and we haven't even started the season yet.

The club must have known what was going on with both Lovett and Simona as they shopped them around before the news broke...Its not a coincidence.

 

[BuffaloRules]

With the loss of Simona looking imminent, that 17 that took the field against Souffs looks close to our best I think.....

Perhaps arguments can be made for Liddle and Felise and I'm not completely sold on Naqaima yet as starting center for the rest of the season...

Let's hope those 19 players can keep fit most of the season though because the problems will come when their depth is questioned...

 

[Shredder]

Exactly BR - its injuries that makes or breaks a season -
If we can keep the same core group together, I think we will be OK this year.

 

[TiggaPlease]

I thought MCK looked fair superior to Idris in the centres, we definitely didn't look as strong when Idris came on.

Hopefully Jamal's fitness will increase pretty quickly, but at the moment I think MCK has to be in the starting 13.

Depth is definitely a concern for us.If the injury gods are on our side then we will b competitive & could surprise most NRL pundits.

U look through the Penrith roster & uve got to wonder how they r under the cap.They r in such a privileged position that they could lose a no. of key players & it wouldn't derail there season as they have exceptional depth & this from a club paying an impostor like Tamou 800k !

And I can't believe JT the f**kwit never went with MCK in centres last year and kept persisting with Kevvy

One game there already and he looked very good
