Rumours and Stuff

[Eelementary]

Semi I guess did but in a way was bought in from Fiji and was nothing but dramas.

The question for 2022 is who debuts? I won't count guys who got a run in the last rnd against Penrith so if they force way in this year I would see it as warranted.
This season we unearthed Penisini which was fantastic. But I still feel we need to be bringing more then 1 kid a year. I guess Russel also did debut and Arthurs so it was what we need to see every year.

Lets hope Hollis who many don't rate steps up. I think he has a future tbh.

I rate Hollis. Big motor.

Loizou will likely get more game time.

And I wouldn't be too surprised if Matthew Komolafe got a run.

Salesi Fainga'a may get a chance.

Hollis is one example of unfortunately having his progress stalled due to covid.

Poor kid has only played a dozen games or so in 2 years. Then copped an injury to his thumb just before they relocated to QLD so he missed out in the back end of the year by not being in QLD.

Hopefully these 19-20 year olds dont get lost as they have all basically missed 2 years of development if they weren in first grade.

What about Naiduki?

Interesting part is that he’s a Parra junior, sniped by Manly from Westfields Sports High as is the rest of his family. When Manly appointed the sport master as part of their recruitment staff, it has paid enormous dividends. As I’ve said before, we were far too complacent when it started and still haven’t got back into the school in any comprehensive way.

Yes, maybe the final part of the jigsaw that needs to be addressed. We should have first pick of all the kids coming out of that school.

Whil

Whilst I agree, Matto is often left on the ground during the opposition ptb. With regards to Carty, he will no doubt be moved into the middle. Nothing surer. Its BAs thing.

I just feel Matterson is our best defending forward and in the middle with RCG he plugs the gap Jnr will leave on occasions.

Impacts players for me are guys who have raw power. I do not see this in Cartwright. But let's say the defense is a little tired imagine having guys like Brown,Papali and Kafusi steaming up the middle. It would be a nightmare.

Not much chance of becoming involved with Westfield if the sports master is still involved with the Manly recruitment system. Maybe we could offer the sports master a deal he could not refuse or encourage future kids to attend different schools.

He has potential.

Just seems to me that Komolafe seems to be higher up the pecking order.

there should be a 10 round lower grade season over the summer. Played in quarters, unlimited interchange or whatever/

There will be some interesting players next season.

Kafusi - He needs to cement a spot now in the NRL. He has been eased in but has turned 22 now. Should be now looking to be always chosen unless an injury.

Dunster - If he can go up a gear we have a long term wing prospect. As it stand he is a good option but a big off season and he will own the position.

Penisini - Have little doubts that he is going to be in the side every week now.

Greig - Could end up being a bench option

Russel - I think he will be in and out if the NRL this season.

D.Brown - Time to step up after a few years now in the NRL.

Others who might be interesting are Hollis,Stone and Hands if we signed him. Our depth should be strong with a lot of guys pressing g that are up and comers not old and experienced.

Kaufusi and Drown are yet to prove to me they will make it as good FG players. Of course I hope I am wrong.

Why don’t you just f**ken marry Jordan Rankin

Because he's a bloke, ffs.

Brown will player 15yrs in the NRL. Just at what level?
Kafusi if he is going to step up it will be 2022. I think now its his time to go to that level where if fit he is always picked in the top 17.

Dude is in the top 30, unlike some of those other names.

Manly don't own the school. They just have one of the school's employees on a part time gig.

They've both played more first grade than most NRL players had ever played by the same age.

They are already good NRL players…it’s just how good will they be….

I take both you and Pou's point mate. I am yet to see either player have blinders. I hope they come good and blitz it, I really do, . I personally have not seen it. That is just my opinion

Far enough but also factor their age into it too..

FMD it’s 2021 boomer. You’d think people who were around during the free love era would be a bit more open minded
