We have the makings of a good team with Bula, Tupou, Toa, Pole, Utoikamanu, Klemmer, Api, Bateman, Blore, Twal, Da Silva. They have their work cutout though with the rest of the roster. If the Fainu boys show some promise along with Feledy, Galvin, Faagatu, Lauilli etc there is something building for 2025.
Recruitment has to be spot on at this point in the halves, centre and wing. We need some strike weapons out wide and two additional halves. We need speed.
Based on what we have now the kid from Manly will start day one which is not wise.

It makes you wonder what Manly were thinking. Talau is an absolute liability although athletically he's an impressive specimen, he has no football IQ at all.

We have to manage this right. Quite a few times I have seen us recruit players with connections and it goes south.
BJ Leulia with Luchiano L... We sack elder bro, loose younger.
Daine Laurie recruits Brent Naden here. Laurie shelved and Naden will probably leave soon.
We piss off Samuela, well Latu will walk back to Manly. I think Fulton will get this and I hope Benji gets this too. We haven't managed dropping people very well so far.
Samuela Fainu and Chris Faagatu are very different players.
Samuela is very tall and looks quite athletic for a man of his size. He mainly plays on an edge and is potentially a very good tackle busting edge forward that we are lacking.
The fact he can also play as a middle is an added advantage as it gives he and the team flexibility.
Fasgatu is a much shorter more compact type of middle forward who looks like he winds up with every carry and has the knack of getting quick play the balls.
He looks a very good prospect, but not really suitable to play on an edge.

This is why Manly are in for a WORLD OF HURT.
Tommy Talau is managed by Issac Moses.
Issac Moses manages 19/30 signed players at Manly. Oh and Brooks, Talau and other guys under Issac Moses.
Brisbane actually got rid of a stack of Issac Moses signed players when they got rid of Siebold.
Now we have huge issues. We should have smashed St George. To loose 18/14 against the other wooden spooner side shows we have huge issues. But at least things are looking up

Talau, my idea is when they sign up to play for another club, thats when they stop playing for my club, let them go to manly now, we are not going to get out of this anyway, think we secured the spoon today.
Give someone else some experience in the top side.

Next season we are going to start having a forward logjam.
Klemmer, Utoikamanu, Bateman, Papali'i, Blore/Pole are already there.
Twal & Seyfarth are in the mix.
James is looking like he fits as well.
Faagutu, Fainu are likely in contention.
Matamua on the fringe.
Lualilii & Tumeth, Jordan Miller & Mansfield as well.
Almost getting to the stage you don't WANT to add too much from outside the squad so as to not hinder the pathways for these promising kids.
I expect some difficult contract choices coming up for the popular star names in a year or two. Can we see how Joffa was let go?

Seibold is a client of Isaac Moses & within the last 10 months Manly have signed 3 clients of Moses. They’ve also signed Luke Brooks, Tommy Talau & Jaxson Paulo who are all under his management as well 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

I think the issue is the amount of Moses clients that have ended up at Manly in Seibs short time there & Manly’s statement doesn’t really do anything to nullify that

last night showed the difference between having a Talau and a Lomax.
Buy Lomax today Benji. Make it so.
