WT Player Retention/Recruitment/Loss List

[weststigers]

Marsters is too slow for centre.

Milne/Suli combo for mine.

Marsters off the bench in the back row.

 

[Masterton]

Am I the only one who thinks Marsters deserves to stay in the starting side? He is playing very well there and serves as a great partner to Nofoaluma. I feel like we should use either or Fonua or Milne on that wing spot since they have spent some time there. Also Eienhuth has to play lock. We need a young forward helping our tired front-rowers which is a benefit.

Nope. I'm with you.
He deserves to stay in the centres along with Suli.
Since he has been there everyone has stopped talking about our right hand side defence . I like his step as well.

I'd like him in the 17, but I think he gets burnt for speed to often to remain in the centres.

 

[earl]

I can't see Marsters making the top team next year assuming there are no injuries. We have a tonne of depth compared to this season.

He has been really good though.

 

[TIGER]

Add Tim Grant to the list of retention.

 

[Milky]

Updated, 26 players signed (including ET)

4 spots left…hopefully Jeremy Marshall King is impressive and scores a top spot.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Missing Eisenhuth on the list Milkster, can't see him anywhere (not even off contract?)

 

[Geo]

When did Bayley Sironen sign with Manly..?

I'd start Marsters over Milne and have Benji on the bench instead. Also assuming the Huth resigns, he'd come in for either Grant or Sue

 

[Tigerdon]

Don't know if Eisenhuth and Rochow have been officially signed? I've read articles about them but nothing official from the club.

 

[barra]

Eiso just officially confirmed - signed until end 2019

Anyone think Idris might be signed?

I think Idris as a base contract player would be great. I'd have no pressure this time around as he wouldn't be relied on to be a star, he could just build his way up. The question is does he want to play on?

 

[Chainlink]

Think w we still need:
• **mobile** **impact** **forward****/lock**. Even if rochow signs, I still think we need one more impact utility forward. Corey Harawira Naira would have been perfect. Raymond Fataila Marina would be great. Closer to home, Tatola might be the one.

• **Fullback**. Apart from Kev we have no depth for fullback options if Lolohea goes down or doesn't work out. As far as I know Heleta is still off contract next year?

• **utility/hooker**- someone like Watson would have been great that can do a job in any spine position. Jeremy Marshall King might be our best option close to home.

 

[Tigerdon]

Our two new props are impact forwards
Sue as well,
It will be interesting to see how Ivan plays them
No real impact backrowers , maybe Marsters off the bench.
I don't think we'll find a better SC fullback than Kev, unless we gamble on a young rookie as well.
Hooker /utility Benji or Jem Marshal . Or possibly Reynolds and someone else to 5/8.

If Connelly Lemuela is still the tigers next year he could be the backup fullback.

Lolohea, Thompson, Marshall, Kev and Nofo - all play Full back.

How many Full backs do we need?

 

[steve-o]

2 more positions left to fill the top 30… I reckon we still need a 1st grade winger and a backup fullback

Just one specialist.
