I agree with you. He is a decent player. He knows his job and performs it pretty well.
I get why some people don't rate him though. I think it has more to do with his personality and perceived lack of aggression on the field.
I don't get why people don't rate him. Sure he's no JWH or even Aaron Woods in attack but then neither of them defend anywhere near as well as he does, in fact I don't think there are many front rowers who defend as well as Mannah. Our middle is always much more fragile when he's off.
If not rating him means he's not the best all round middle forward in the game then sure, but in my opinion he is the backbone of our forward pack and crucial to us having a good year.
Having guys like Beau Scott and Watmough (if he plays at his best) around, hopefully improvement from our young forwards, and more space from our improved halves will give Mannah the chance to expand his game as he wont have to carry the whole pack by himself.
