How long before we have Sullivan at 7, Amone at 6?
Probably when Hunt is offered a job elsewhere. I can't wait for a Sullivan / Amone halves pairing that is together for a three to five year period.

We have talented young backs coming through the ranks but very few forwards. So I suppose most recruiting will be for experienced young forwards.

I think we need higher quality staff in the football side of the Club; replace Horan and Millward with people who can get the job done.

Great article online on Smh about this guy, I have a feeling this is the guy (with Sloan) that we have been waiting so long for. All the best with your No 6 debut today Junior Amone
Agreed, Amone & Sloan have been bright lights in a pretty dark season. Initially we were all hyped about Jayden Sullivan but he’s been held back by injury & Amone has really kicked on.

I hope Amone has a blinder today so Hook can see it’s worth the risk to invest in our youth.

The SG Ball team that played and won the GF in 2019 was:

1. Treigh Stewart - playing JF with a few games in KOE Cup this year.
2. Tyrell Slaon - 1st grade debut 2021
3. Aaron Scoupp - 1st grade debut 2021 (Bulldogs)
4. Max Feagai - 1st grade debut 2020
5. Mat Feagai - 1st grade debut 2021
6. Junior Amone - 1st grade debut 2021
7. Jayden Sullivan - 1st grade debut 2020
8. Sean Payne - ?
9. Connor Muhleisen - JF and KOE Cup, earmarked as future 1st grade hooker
10. Josh Coric - played SG Ball gf this year straight to Koe Cup
11. Blake Dowell - played JF this year
12. Jackson Sherab - same as Josh Coric
13. Oscar Fitzpatrick - ?
14. Zach Herring - played JF this year
15. Trent Griffiths - ?
16. Ammon Munro - ?
17. Oliver Parish - ?

Out of that squad, 6 have already played 1st grade.

Interestingly the Manly squad had Josh Schuster and Ben Trbojevic, with only Schuster seemingly cementing a 1st grade spot.

Maybe our 'future' is brighter than some may think.

Love this guy

"Some coaches stick to a plan " . This is code for Mcflopp nearly having a plan, one only, and when it fails he goes to his box of tricks and finds the Plan B missing !

Interesting that we all get frustrated and demand the 3 Amigos in the side as a remedy for our poor performances but the reality is that at this time it is not the answer. It really does look like Mbye & Bird are just keeping the seats warm and there actually is a plan in place for them that the coach is sticking to. Still think Sullivan as playmaker will be the keystone to all of this ( couldn't we have done with him the last 20 on Monday ) but understand the dilemma the coaches are under with his injuries.

yep DP, Sullivan was building nicely and my thoughts were he would have made a showing around SOO, he was just getting sorted with Sloan in ressies. I would be very surprised if he makes it this weekend after being taken off in a stretcher and neck brace. But I think you are right that he is the key to both Amone and Sloan, even though I do think that Amone's defense is a bit shaky. I'm hoping it will improve with more time on the field.
