He also has some pace.
Hung out to dry on 1 lousy game whilst others were persisted with week in week out.agree we must keep mann and i would give him a shot at fullback letting duffty and field come thru reserves so they dont get blown out of the water in firsts . BUT does anyone really know why he seems to be so out of favour with mary ?? admittedly he had a shocker at fullback last year and then was banished to reserve grade . remind me if im wrong but didnt our entire squad have shockers most games but hardly any changes . Any other team and Mann would be first grade playing to his ability Hes got a passing game can tackle and elusive and seems to have a football brain sign him as our number 1 NOW
In 2017 we have Dugan, Mann, Milne and Lafai in our squad and part of the cap. I believe Dugan was on 750k. We already have cap for the above, all we need is upgrade money if warranted.According to zero tackle Dugan was on $800k a year, don't tell me we can't split that to cost to sign up Kurt and Tim ?
I'd be more worried loosing Kurt when you factor in his Utility value.
This is ideal time to get this done during the bye and solidify the squad for next year..
Mary has a significant part of his duties stripped out and given to Millward, and he still can't manage selections or bench rotation.Hung out to dry on 1 lousy game whilst others were persisted with week in week out.
If our club could not see his real value by the end of the 2016 season and extend him then, well unfortunately they have very little understanding as to who is a good player.
As to the posts re the issue now being Mann's manager that's a load of bunkum as Mann when asked where he was going to be playing said Mary had not really discussed it with him or conveyed and thoughts on the subject.
This bloke is a quality footballer and should have already been re-signed long ago.
If he goes our people f**ked up plain and simple.
possm you are so right. mann banished for a bad game last year but marketo on bench all year !! its just like he has blinkers on and wont look outside - Im surprised sele got a call up at jakes expense mary definitely has to look at better rotation and selections to suit oppositionMary has a significant part of his duties stripped out and given to Millward, and he still can't manage selections or bench rotation.
Field and Dufty are already signed for 2018. Mann has to have is contract extended. My understanding is that there is cap available to sign him but at what cost. Millward again should have signed from top down and if that happened we may be talking about a decision on a young junior or marginal first grade players rather than any of our key first grade players.Mann has been royally screwed around. We could hardly blame the guy if he signed elsewhere.
He is currently a much better defender than Dufty or Field. He has all the creative skills in attack to playa variety of positions.
Life is all about choices. Mary/Millward appear to rank him well down the pecking order when it comes to playing in the halves or centre. I can only conclude that Mary/Millward rank Dufty/Field ahead of Mann or propose to recruit a full back.
If so they should draw straws as to who should resign first.
Yep, I think most agree Possm. Let's see what happens in the next month or so before we all get our knickers in a twist.Field and Dufty are already signed for 2018. Mann has to have is contract extended. My understanding is that there is cap available to sign him but at what cost. Millward again should have signed from top down and if that happened we may be talking about a decision on a young junior or marginal first grade players rather than any of our key first grade players.

agree 100% seems like if mary signed you your in ( i got the team i wanted what a great quote ) and only reluctantly putting him back on the wing last year as a token change to the team...... definitely deserves fullback next year while the youngsters get much needed time in the reggiesI've always thought that Mann was on the outer with Mary because it wasn't Mary that wanted him signed in the first place. I thought Mary reluctantly put him at fullback at the start of last year and scrapped him at the first opportunity.
With Dugan (Mary's 1st choice fullback) now gone, hopefully Mary can see past the history and see what a valuable player Mann has the potential to be.
One game wasn't that bad the Sharks game was a horror but we also had 16 other horribles as well that day just like the game against the Warriors reserve grade team.It was two lousy games and I feel guilty as hell for paying him out at the time.
2 games but only one that was punted. Yet we were all shouting from the rooftops to drop lafai benji marketo mathewa and co but apparantly there was no one better in reserves !!!!!!!!! You couldnt blame him going if he gets a top 17 gig BUT i am over fringe first graders being signed as replacements keep the good let the average goIt was two lousy games and I feel guilty as hell for paying him out at the time.
No need to feel guilty mate, he was shit, as were many others. I don't get why calling a spade a spade is frowned upon. He's proven he's a high quality player and will reap the rewards with a contract (with us hopefully) very soon.It was two lousy games and I feel guilty as hell for paying him out at the time.
I'd rather Mann to Walker anyday.2 games but only one that was punted.

Possm, seriously why is Walker even in any conversation, let alone in a thread about Mann?I'd rather Mann to Walker anyday.
