Probally got rid of him because he was always injured.

From what I understand he was relatively injury free last season and played the house down for the Clydesdales. Under Sheens, his old coach, he should do very well. I just hope he gets the game time he didn't get with the Broncos.

Provided Hodgson, Richards, Prince, Elford and Reynolds can escape the injury curse they will be in your top grade side more often than not which will allow Marshall time to adjust to the rigours of having to play week in and week out. Marshall needs to develop without the pressure of taking the Tigers to the finals.

Graham and Sattler will also help with the attacking side of the game as will a fit Ben Galea.

Payten will be a good pick up however I still don't fully understand the reason the Tigers let Manu go. Potentially he is a better player than Payten given the right push.

Manu wasn't resigned as the Wests Tigers with all the juniors coming through the ranks are trying to push for people who want to be at the club and work hard to be the best player they can be.

Manu granted would be great if given the right push but how long does a team need to give a bloke to make that push work???????

With the quality of juniors we have at the club I don't think Manu leaving will be a big loss - especially with the likes of Lima, Viane, Harper, Heighnigton, Thomson, Harrison, Wilson, Sattler, Grahme, Senter, O'Niel, Galea, Gibbs, Hunter, and Laffranchi to name a few I think that our back row and bench will be well covered.

In regards to the chaos that Manu made we do have a player who should play first grade this year and to be honest I think will be more devastating than what Manu was in Jeff Lima - In saying that we still do have Gravy as well ;-)

Exactly right and that is why he struggled to be resigned the first time his contract had expired as well.

Yeah, he runs the news content on the official tigers site.

He's doing a pretty decent job of it too.
