He's a good player.
His brother just joined Canberra, on a reserve grade contract.
He hasn't looked out of place in first grade.
I've watched him closely since he's made grade because he's somewhat of a family friend through his partner.

Is he taking AD’s spot over Taylan next season ?
ADs obviously because he doesn't have a contract after this season and is now working with our arch enemy, Isaac Moses.

What do you mean “getting like””.
But I can only guess that the topic is now getting the number of hits the “owner” was looking for when he made the call couple of years back.
But really it’s been all over the place and for me very ordinary ever since then.

Yes please. Was as highly rated a centre prospect coming through as Robert Toai & Billy Smith when they were teenagers.

I thought you were keen on Tallyn for that role ?
Mariner is ok I guess …Assume they will need to pay him some dollars to get him here …so if they do that then they might feel obligated to start him

Taylan May to left wing, Mariner to centre.

Ok … I mean obviously one will be depth as I believe Turuva, Skelton and Star will be the other outside backs IMO
I just don’t want Mariner being expensive depth as there is an opportunity for Taylan to beat him out

Fireworks imo.
We've only got Skelton and Toa for another year if they aren't extended.
1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. Makasini
4. Mariner

I have heard rumours Brooks gets moved along at the end of this season … makes sense to me …Manly fans hate him

People must have short memories wanting these two to move on…
Skelton was absolutely killing it early in the season

If we do release him after tomorrow night, it just gives credence to what Paul Kent said during the Galvin saga. Why are we releasing players 18 months early, even if they don’t want to stay on beyond. Other clubs get notice a long way out, like Penrith with Luai for example, but they get on with it. I get Galvin was a dick, but the fact it’s a strong possibility barely a month later that it’s happening again with another junior, when does it start to dawn on people that maybe the club is doing something wrong? It would be a very poor look. What if we lose players to the Bears in November? Do we let them go too? I’m sure another club would give them a 12 month contract in the interim.

That’s weaker than our existing back line IMO. Not convinced Makasini will handle the lateral defence of centre at NRL level but he will be in there somewhere. Who knows which Taylan we have until he runs out and plays.
Also, why would you assume Taylan will be here in 2027 when he’s on a train and trial, but also assume Skelton and To’a will be gone?
We have to stop this 1 step forward 2 steps back crap and keep guys like To’a.
