Mates yeah good call natheel
Watmough - played his best footy look forward to 2 penalties a game, drop balls, force passes and running across field.
Darcy lussick - his claim to fame is the battle of brookvale....causing the blue. Rubbish player.
Hopoate - yeah playing nothng like he did with manly following trend of jordan rapana, lagi satu of players returning....nothing like they did before.
Arthur - his claim to fame being the worlds best assistant.
Going to battle without hayne lets see how good your coach is without him.
The key teams tend to forget is buying manlys culture......is the fullback he is the reason why manly wins or loses games.
As a fellow Manly fan i would like to add;
Foran is an absolute superstar, he won our player of the year award last year despite have a poor final 5 rounds, to say he doesn't have try assists and line break assists is laughable.......If he leaves i will be devastated (in a football fan sense) as i see him as our future captain.
That said it will be tough to retain both he and DCE and if he does leave the world will not end, we can chase someone like Siezer and put the extra money towards someone like Merrin.
Watmough was our best forward last year and will offer plenty to Parramatta. I do think he is on the downward slope though and would be worried about season 3 of his contract. He is also a big personality which is great when he is positive but can be detrimental if he is in a negative space
Hopoate had the world at his feet when he left Manly and i for one doubted if he would ever make it back to that level. I think last year he did all that he could to prove that he will. Those expecting him to dominate from round 1 are idiots, he was always going to take time. Could have a huge year at fullback
I was always a big Lussick fan..........to be honest i think he would be a bit further on in his career by now, i still think he can push on and would take him back at the right price but by now i was thinking he would be parras dominate prop and a fringe rep player. Instead he looks like being a good first grade prop
Gower is a solid journeyman, nothing more
