With guys like May and Hunt coming from good systems I think that will rub off on the rest of the pack. I've been listening to poddies from May and Hunt and I am liking what I hear from them.
Hopefully they form strong bonds quickly and have the desire to play for one another. Probably the biggest challenge with rebuilding.
There was just some speculative article posted by a journo saying manly will have to choose to let go of an outside back because of the emergence of Lehi Hopoate. Wouldn’t be too surprising if Garrick was let go as he is probably the highest paid & last year said he refuses to play on the wing even tho it’s his best position lol. Personally if he thinks he’s a centre I can’t see any club in the NRL picking him up, on the wing is a different story
Yeah. Had we let a few more outside backs go, he'd be handy. Particularly for his goal kicking, but we need a backrower now.
I reckon our points against is impacted by our ability to score to an extent.
Two things I am confident of in this rebuild. They want to play for the coach and have a strong desire to win. The likes of Luai, Galvin, May they're winners mate, ultra competitive and hate losing, and they will put in every week. The knowledge that Luai will bring to the team can't be overstated. Look at what Cronk did at the roosters. And we're improving culture, Richo reacting to the players laughing after spoonbowl etc.
Nah but there was a theory provided by clarkey on the situation, tried to attach it but too much pixels or something idk
Completely agree. Gets demoralising for forwards if all their hard work goes unrewarded in the red zone.
Amazing turn around from 12 months ago, probably still far too many guys in there that have 'potential' hopefully that's where the focus is for the next 12 months.
And at 76%, which is decent, you’re not buying him just for his goal kicking.
Still trying to find out when we get an updated koe squad.
Twaly appears to be a bit of a culture guy. Offers bugger all impact but might be one of those guys you need to keep the morale high through a long season.
Agree on Lodge Tito but not many on here like him.
He’s experienced, he’s big and he’s got 4 kids now so can’t afford to stuff up.
Built like a tank put him in the impact role and get more minutes out of Hunt.
Yeah I don’t know if we can carry culture guys anymore mate.
I could cull that list ,
