Always expected WT were going to miss Blore this season and unlike most, not hastily jumping aboard the Tuilagi hype bandwagon. I for one was not overly impressed with his season opening when comparing it to what Shawn was bringing, particulary defensively after finally getting regular time on the field last year. Probably running better lines as well and hopd he gets back on the paddock.
Basically whenever Brooks is at marker or defending in the middle after a break, it seems that we get punished on that left and concede a lot more tries as a result when Kelma is there.
And yes for the Brooks bashers, I note the try he was unable to hold out one on one yesterday. That said, what on earth was Gildart thinking at the time, going inside instead if assisting?

IMO - our roster is so poor in comparison with opposition teams that any loss of our present players (with a couple of notable exceptions - Hastings for example) will result in procuring better players. Players like Garner, Tuilagi etc will be replaced, and new "stars" will appear.
It's the circle of life.

Yep, I thought his efforts the last two games have been very poor….

I like Kelman and think he has improved heaps this year. He was really bad defensively last year and this year he's mostly been good. Had a bad game yesterday but I'd still want him if we had the opportunity to keep him. Maybe not a starter in top side but still an impact player.
Let's wait and see before we pass judgement. Papali'i certainly strengthens our squad. Who knows who they replace the other two with, they could be upgrades

He certainly has become a pea-heart.
Manly must wonder exactly what they have bought for 2023. It is quite possible he'll pull up his socks and contribute weekly, or just as likely that he'll fail to make the grade and spend his time jogging about in Manly reserves.

There’s been a lot of talk about our forward pack recently and their substandard efforts. You could see tonight, right from the kickoff that they were determined as a group to turn that around.
We beat them up in defence and 3 blokes ran over 100m. With the pack playing like this, it’s incredible that a member of it could have just one run from 42 sets!
Not good enough Kelma.

If the diva didn’t take the cash for herself first, that’d be an option. Our men are more like kids.

Kel was hitting hard in defence and looked to me like he did a fair bit of work in defence , runs not so much
MANLY’S CLEANOUT REVEALED
Five Manly Sea Eagles players have reportedly been informed they are free to look elsewhere for next season.
That is according to News Corp, who revealed Ben Condon, Kaeo Weekes, Zac Fulton, Kelma Tuilagi and Karl Lawton will be released immediately if they can find a better opportunity at another club.
Weekes’ contract with Manly was already coming to an end this season so he will not be offered a new deal but Fulton and Lawton are signed until the end of 2024, while Condon and Tuilagi are contracted until the end of 2025.
Condon and Tuilagi only arrived to the club this season from the Cowboys and Tigers respectively. Condon played four games off the bench for Manly, while Tuilagi — who started the year in the second row but finished it in reserve grade — played 17.
