As long as Manly have Cherry-Evans and Foran they will always be a threat. Those two are world class and you can build your team around good halves. Because of those two you can get away with having an average forward pack. I'm not saying Manly's forward pack is average; they've got Brenton Lawrence, Matt Ballin and Jamie Buhrer who are all good players. I think you could do with a bit more power, especially if Watmough leaves. Signing someone like Willie Mason would be good; he'll bring experience and reliability and he won't cost much because he's coming to the end of his career. However, the players that are going to be hard to replace are Steve Matai and Brett Stewart. Most teams have a superstar fullback and I'm not sure who you could target to replace Stewart. As for Matai, someone like Jack Reed would be a decent replacement. So I'd say Manly have got problems but I wouldn't say they've got major problems but problems nonetheless.
