I’d say he is learning a hell of a lot playing off the bench behind api
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
Yeah maybe but he’s been rooted around since he got there
I think we are on the same page , but I am saying is leave the proven 1st graders alone target the ones who are blocked behind 1st graders

Pretty sure JMK just re-signed with Dolphins.
Just on Talau, if Manly want an immediate transfer WT should say give us Ethan Bullemor and you can have him on your doorstep by tonight. Bullemor is off-contract after this season, he's a strong player who hasn't gotten much of a go at Broncos or Manly. He'd add to our pack nicely.

Agree, but we can get the Lauries not the Suailiis. We have more success with the pre retirement sector.
The only proven 1st grader with miles in his legs we have signed in recent history wanted to renege.
I think it makes more sense to identify our shortcomings and profile that imaginary player, then go looking for him in every corner of the globe regardless of what stage his career is at?
Sheens was good at that.
Coaches are very guarded on praising the skills of their players. I don’t understand why?
Maguire was often praising his players publicly until that performance review, then nothing.

Good shout, I find it very surprising that Bullemor is even off contract. Very good runner of the footy, hard at the line with good footwork. I've never seen him have a bad game, although I have not watched him that closely.

Is there any real chance we could pinch Walker? I think he'd be a good pickup for us...
Underrated and high cieling.
He's a winner.

I was surprised when he left broncos. Makes you wonder why manly haven’t tied him down yet
Think I heard commentators say in his first game that he was one of the quickest at broncos at that time
They also said he was considering walking away and taking up a career in finance.

What's the inside opinion on our regies centre Saukuru.. pretty sure he's top 30.. runs like talakai.. is he an actual prospect to be a future first grader..? If he is then would it be worth throwing him in like they're doing with Bula.. season isn't going too well.. maybe blood them all.. (matamua included)
He’s not Top 30.
Needs a bit of work defensively and with fitness, but agree that he’s a good tackle-buster.
Not sure if he’ll end up a future first grader, but he’s young enough that we haven’t seen his best yet.

Thanks KR.. I assume Feledy is in the same bracket.. good tackle buster but needs a bit more maturing.. though he is short listed for as a real chance for first grade isn't he ?

It's guys like this (Livai Saukuru, Brandon Mansfield, Jimmy Ngutlik - when he returns in the pre-season & Aitasi James) who have the physical attributes, can produce something that says NRL player but lack in some areas that we really need to start to develop like other clubs. It's a test for our coaching staff in both NRL and NSW Cup squads to take these guys to the next level.
I remember reading a story about Talakai and he never set the world on fire early but John Morris really worked with him to take his game & attitude to the next level.
Definitely.
Feledy is a couple years younger though, which is why he's touted as much more of a chance.

Tupou has only played a couple of games but I think we can all see he's a huge prospect.. any chance he could be a future centre? As you can tell, I think this is one of our main areas to improve
