Manly 2015

[Iluvmyfooty]

Are you suggesting Dombkins should have been selected over Melrose in the Rays ?

Melrose is 31 Dombkins 21 where is the future?

 

[Dave Beat]

If Palu was back - it'd be a Marlins back row for the Wobs, well done Luke Jones

 

[Dave Beat]

Wish the season would hurry up and come around.
Front Row, - Rory O'Connor, Mitch Lewis, Jimmy Gentle, Chris Cocco, Dane Maraki, - and also watch out for Tyron Rota.
Hookers - Porecki has been spending time with the Tah's, John Wunder or maybe Mitch Lewis spending some time in 2 - hearing good things about Sio Tatola will he be a 2.

& more next week.

Happy New Year Dave.

Locks - unfortunately my intel is a little light on as its fishing season.
Some may think the loss of Greg Petersen maybe felt, and others haven't rated him. I did and wish him all the best in the RWC later in the year.
Ed Gower, and ?
Sigg, backing up another year, brings a different game to G, would no doubt bring allot more open and attacking rugby.
Melrose, Lead two's to the title last years against a strong Uni side, and has played plenty of time in ones.
Wesson, had a strong year last year before injury.
And there is a bit of chatter above about Dombkins.
Or could it be a colt that steps up and makes a fist of it?
Prior to last year G was out injured and our forwards where often considered one of the strongest in the comp. Sure we'll be up there again this year.

You don't mention Bergelin: from an outsider's point of view I reckon he's the heart and soul of the marlins.

Right you are but he wears a 6 on his back, and I'm still on my first hand.

 

[Lee Grant]

^^^^^^

And, since you were talking about the Marlins, what were you doing about the other hand?

Second Row. IIRC Matthew Philip played with the Stars in NRC.

Have the MMM lost him to the Corporation for SS 2015?

Unfortunately i think that is correct, hope he's back though.

 

[BellyTwoBlues]

Lot of mail doing the rounds that that is correct.

Philip has gone. Marlins coaches expected it but were unimpressed with how he went about it. Also Gower is a strong possibility of heading to Europe. Add that to Lucas, Swanepoel, Milroy, Hingano, Sefenaia,Petersen and Aholelei.

Can you say in what way?

You cant replace that amount of talent and experience overnight unless you go out into the player market and you cannot attract players especially from overseas without some $$.
Manly have some good colts but none are ready to fill some of these players shoes.

Thats a huge shame about Phillip. How did he go about it? What'd he do wrong?

Yeah a shame, with discussion about locks on the Tahs 2015 thread I'm surprised nobody through his name up after the NRC. Better in Aus than loosing another off shore - as to how, not sure but it's happened and who knows may come back in years to come.
I was disappointed that he wasn't with the Rays, it would have been good having G, Ed, and Matt there - not sure why players like Matt, Chisolm, Swanny, Sigg etc had to go abroad - but that is my one eye having this view.

 

[Inside Shoulder]

My info is that he was helped out by Uni with suitable employment, enabling him to train etc. he is not attending uni.

I forgot to metion that Dane Chisholm has gone to the Dogs. Also Sam Croke and Tim Donlan are new Marlins.

That'd be correct.
I hear a few new boys also turned up last night as well.
