That said, I'll clarify my Levi opinion given this is my first forum post.

I've had massive raps on the kid since he was coming through the 20s. Have thought that he came into first grade too early - which was exacerbated by playing behind the worst pack in the comp (basically the successor the Mullen's curse).

But the last half of last year has really drained my confidence in his development.

The most optimistic scenario would be that the additions of Gavet and Klemmer let the kid display how talented he really is, especially his running game off the back of quick play the balls. I guess I'll keep hoping that's the case for the moment.

What was he good at when he was coming though? He does have a decent running game but he isn't that quick. His defence is nothing special. Can't kick. His passing is okay but also nothing spectacular and his footie IQ is as bad as they come...

Plus he doesnt play 80 min. He did have a bit of a kicking game as a junior didnt he ? perhaps shelved under Brown ? Throwing a tantrum this season has certainly put me off him.

My guess is Levi will be let go at the end of his contract i- Woolford replacing him.

Slade every day of the week for mine. Nothing flash but man that guy gives 100% every play.

From Toohey's article

Klemmer and Mann both expected to be released to take up long-term deals with the Knights. Sounds like the plan is still for Mann to play hooker. Knights aren't currently pursuing anyone else, intending to wait until the right player becomes available to fill the 30th and final roster spot.

Poor Browny must have sleepless nights thinking about the perfect dummy half for his team. He's gone through countless players at the club trying to find a decent one.

But Mann to hooker tops them all. Has ever played there in the NRL? Says how much he thinks of him as a back.

He found one, but his knee exploded.

Not too many off contract next year, only skd, Griffin and buhrer. Won't see much turnover.

I like the idea of Mann at hooker. Great defender and he’s played 5/8 so must have some sort of kicking game

I'd say he's gone through a few back up hookers to support our young potential star Levi who isnt yet an 80 min hooker and needs time to develop. He found a perfect hooker in Griffin.

Mann will be a good utility player and Woolford has a chance to displace Levi as our developing young hooker for the future. I'd say the recruitment of Woolford indicates Levi's cards are marked.

Griffin will hopefully return to the prefered option come 2020.
