Andrew Walker (29 year old former Wallaby utility star)
Obviously there wwill be a lot of debate on the players.However,they have been chosen by people placed with that responsibility and with the full backing of the Board.Incoming coach Des Hasler has been a major contributor.Several of the players will be unknown to many - that doesn't mean they can't and won't do the job.It must be remembered that we finished second last in NRL and First Division this season ......
nowhere acceptable to the club or its fans.
It should be noted that almost 33 per cent of the squad are local juniors. - ADMIN

I have to admit. That a pretty week looking side. The halves look alright. But you guys really are lacking some quality props. Homono goes well for manly. But appart from that, you guys seriously lack go forward. Your outside backs look pretty light on for depth. If you get a couple of injurys, you will struggle.

Yeah, we are light on centres but there may be one or two more signings (hopefully centres).I think we are alright in the props department but some are untried at the top level. We Have King, Donnelly, Heckenberg, Rennie, Cleal and with Hopoate moving to the forwards I think Haumono will also be used as a prop!

Where do you Manly fans see yourself ending up next year? Really...I'm, not having a go but you guys are acting like the new blokes you have signed will take you to the top 4 :shock:

 

[swoop]

Realistically, I'd be happy with a top 10 finish for 2004 and higher 2005/06! We have a heap of young blokes that might need a year in the top grade!

Us, Souths, Tigers, Sharks, Cowboys (maybe) will round out the bottom of the table..... again.

I'm not deceived or in denial.

The Cowboys will do better than all those sides

In my opinion cowboys will be on the fringe of the top 8, and the tigers, who spent their money extremely well, will be top 10 or 11. Manly and souths to battle for the spoon

 

[Dale]

Tigers will still have nothing. They wasted their money. The best player on the market was Vagana. And he's not that much really.
