He is as good and probably better (then some of these) then middle forwards Glabsy / K Bromwich, Liu, Collins and Tetevano who all played for the GF teams last week.
Depends what your pack needs, he’s a good worker and great in defence. Our pack is full of them.

That wasn’t your point...........just pointing out even the GF teams have players like Mannah!!
Pou made the statement, would he make every starting 17 in the comp? Debatable, he might scrape in as the 5th or 6th middle in a side.
My point was he was one of our best, it shows we need more quality in the middle why is that wrong???

No but I can find the sides that Mannah would make every day of the week. Most, amirite ? Might miss out on one or two of the sombrero sides.

I am just giving my opinion in future.
Mannah wont be ahead of Terepo Jnr or Alavro. They are all in peak.
Mannah may decline this season coming. He may not. At 32 players can drop form fast. While some of these young players coming through could explode onto the scene. Who would make way?

Terepo offers something Tim doesn't. He busts tackles,can offload and pass before line. A lot more attack in his game. This was his first full season in a while and he just got better and better.
Next year he will be in his peak and I can see him improve again. He will be dynamite

Tim has been a main stay in our forward pack since he was 21. Playing that many games with his work-rate would take a huge toll on his body. I reckon Tim has another season of regular first grade left in him before we have a couple of guys taking over his spot. Nothing against Tim, he's stuck with us all these years and for a long time was the only forward actually providing us something.

But with his young family would he want to move over to England? Probably not. He'll probably retire once his contract runs out and I hope he wants to stay around the club and we can find him a job. He's the sort of person you want around the club teaching the young guys about what it means to play in the Blue and Gold.

Agree with all of this 100%, especially the part of staying around at the club. He’s been a fine servant on and off the field for the club.

So we haven’t been doing that the last 7 years since Kearney and the academy???
I thnk a lack of focus somewhere in the last 10 years has meant we have not had the number of quality 18 - 21 year olds coming through in order to have options to debut our juniors every year. This seems to have changed over the last little while and one would expect it to improve if there is a focus on local development.

Statistically he has been nearly as good (and probably better based on minutes played) as JWH and Jess Bromwich the number 1 props for the GF teams .....

Well I’m just glad we are focused now, it should be very exciting.
