Mann was puss yesterday.
Will be interesting to see what position Mann will play next year.....whilst a good finisher hes not exactly the fastest winger going around......so that leaves fullback or the centres....thats unless our coach sees fit to sit him on the bench as a utility cover and he plays 5 or 6 mins if not at all......
...you know that we are currently starting down 2018 with Nightingale on the left wing, yeah? Mann may not be the fastest, but Flo (god bless him) is by far the slowest.

He's not an elite half. Possibly wing or centre and definitely can fill in at half or fullback in an emergency but that's it.

Look at the halves and fullbacks in the semi final teams. Names like Cleary, Moylan, DCE, Turbo, Hunt, Milford, Boyd, Maloney, Pearce, Keary, Cronk, Slater, Morgan, Coote etc. All rep players and/or Grand Final winners.

Did we really think having a stop gap half in Mann, and a 10 game rooke in Dufty against the names above was ever going to be anywhere near good enough??

And what do all of those combos have in common? They've got at least 1 talker in the spine. From what I can see, absolutely none of ours talk or guide the team around. Dufty isn't organising from the back, Mann and McInnes look to be mutes and Gaz isn't a coordinator. Nobody knows what anybody is doing. Hopefully Hunt will change that. My worry is fullback. We have some talent but we need somebody willing to take charge out the back. None of our options look willing to do so.

Mary will us him as a utility back on the bench or if injuries slot him in anywhere thats needed.
I think centre is his best position.
That why bellyake use him there.
If bellyake thought that was his best position thats good enough for me.

Listen. I have forgotten more about League than you'll ever know. I have played at NSW cup level for multiple seasons and know a footballer when I see one.

Mann is no 7. Not his fault. I'm just bringing reality to the uneducated masses on here, yourself included.

I don't know what you know or dont know.
So fcken what you played a few game in a 2 division comp.
But you are a lst grade tosser.

I think McGregor has already alluded to the fact that Mann is a handy cover, and a bench player. I'm surprised he re-signed.

Have to agree with you to be perfectly honest...being a young bloke and obviously wanting a full game if McGregor stuffs him around like at times he has he will disappear

Listen, I have played NRL, SOO (for both Qld and NSW) as well as World Carp fishing and then my son deleted the memory on the playstation, so I know a footballer when I see one too.
f**king uneducated masses on here piss me off too.
You're a f**king hero genius dope.

Gitano the only credible thing you have stated & i take your word for it is that you enjoyed getting your nuts squeezed by opposition players. I think that says it all

I thought the same thing but realistically he's probably going to be in a similar situation at another club, he might even be playing more reserve grade.

Anyway, this could be simply his role as a player in the NRL now.

Time will tell but Mann could have left and didn't. He hasn't found his spot yet and will have a chance to do that next season.

That type of thing got me into the game. Sort of like the Raudonikis face slapping stuff.

Mann had success as a winger for us in 2016.
Is it worth it to put him on the wing. He is faster then our two wingers we have now.
No disrespect to Nighty in saying that
