Buher is a decent player but im not sure why we want him.He isn't a superstar so unless he came cheap id pass.
We have found two guys in Mau and Edwards.We have Kelepi coming thru and looks like Pauli Pauli will be in the backrow too.
If we signed Buhrer than I guess Uelsai and Santi wont be expected to play first grade in the next 2-3 season.
Mau,Edwards, Kelepi, Pauli, Loko, Santi and Ualsei plus Terepo, allgood and Lussick can play as middle forwards (locks) if required. That is a fair list but very inexperienced especially if Paulo and Smith aren't around (which they may be) so Buhrer could be an asset but I suspect we will have to pay overs unless Manly can't afford to fit him in at all.
If we are going to open the checkbook for a backrower they would have to be of at least a Wade Graham level player (I'm not sure who that would be tbh).
In saying that If Tonga and Hoppa have good seasons we wont need to much experience on the edges because these guys would command the defensive edge similar to how Lyon and Mati do allowing younger backrowers to settle in. I honestly think Semi and Ma'u have been both allowed to perform to their potential because of Tonga.
Mannah, Peats, Lussick, Ma'u, Edwards, Kelepi: Loko, Terepo, Mossip,Jnr Paulo. That to me would be a very good pack next year if comes back to full fitness and we can spend the money they would invest on Buhrer to pay Hayne to keep him here.
