Agree apart from Talau. Average player and if Lomax stays would cause drama having them in the same team

Hahaha to be fair I completely forgot about the Sergis connection, obviously won't happen if Lomax stays around.

I try and take my judgement on players from the actual fans of that team... I think opposition fans quite often over/underrate players from other teams as they don't watch them as closely. If you go through Manly forums plenty of their fans think Talau has been hard done by and has outplayed a lot of their other outside backs when given the opportunity.

Teach Nelson to tackle around the legs. Never anything above waste height and use him in charge down situations. He has long arms. But that is a job for the DC.
He is certainly an asset on offense (my side of the ball).
No one gets taught to tackle around the legs anymore, it's no benefit to the defensive team and only leads to quick play the balls... it's not 1995 anymore (unfortunately).

Any player Melbourne let go is an instant red-flag for me.

I am pretty sure I heard Tommy Talau is going to Penrith next year

Shibasaki to me screams of a bloke where everything just aligned for him this season and made him look better than he actually is.

I could see a club coming in and paying him 600k+ for him off the back of this season and he turns back into the fringe first grader he had previously proven to be at multiple clubs.

Still some poor attitude signs from him i.e. turning up to training after a night on the drink... he seems to get gassed a lot through games as well and that's even after being hammered by Madge all season.

He scored two tries in the GF where Nick Meaney made him look like G.I, but there was really nothing special to either of them. He also let Eli Katoa run around him with that last play where it could have cost them the G.F.

I actually think Tommy Talau as a back-up Centre or Winger would be better value for money. I know a lot of Manly fans much prefer him to Saab and are spewing he is leaving.

I think Nick Meaney is an under-rated player, tbh.

If we get Pezet then geez we’d have a decent spine next year.

His kicking game from what I’ve seen is already extremely good. I’d imagine with him and Moses we’d kick plenty of sides to death.
Can we just keep on kicking field goals instead
