We've lost so many players that there's 7 from the Rats Twos last year and one from Colts in that XV IIRR. The only decent acquisition we have is Peseta from Gordon. Hobden played in the Canberra comp but I haven't seen him play and Lindfield is from subbies. I don't know 12. Walsh, or have forgotten him.

Going to be a long year; in fact: a long few years I reckon.

Going back to Killingworth - I heard it is ankle ligament damage and he will be out for 4 weeks, I also heard that he played extremely well in the trial against Norths and in fact Warringah came out on top. So maybe things won't be as tough down at rat park as you think. Harris has done good things -(he was involved with Newington last year and what a turn around that was) and he will go on to do even better things. Doyle and Smouha are part of the Sydney rep Side and the 7 from the winning twos last year have had first grade experience but were bumped down when the super 14 players came back. I don't think they will take Gold but I do know there are a few players down there who have refused financial offers to stay with their club and to play under the guidance of Sam Harris.

except the 7 you refer to is either Ale or Greenway and they are playing for Manly and Gordon respectively?

Where are Whalley, Murphy and Richardson from last year's pack?

Those two and Eddie Aholelei, Maile Hingano. From the Force the Marlins need their injury problems to be solved so they can maybe get back Metuisela and Sefanaia, although he will probably go back to sevens. In brumby land Tyrone Smith is on the bench this weekend so he wont be seen.

Brock returns to Rats

MARLINS recruit Brock McGarity has turned his back on Manly and has returned to the Rats.

The young utility back started the week in Manly’s first-grade team, but dropped back to seconds following the availability of Brumbies back Robbie Coleman.

McGarity trained with Manly’s second XV on Tuesday night, but on Thursday night was back at Rat Park.

Warringah management sent the Marlins a release form at 6am on Friday.

Outgoing Marlins general manager Matt McGoldrick - who had an eventful last day on the job on Friday - said he was working on a late release for McGarity.

“We are disappointed because we think he could have done well here,” McGoldrick said.

“But we’re not going to hold a gun to his head, if he wants to go, he can go.

“We’ll release him, we just need to sort out a few things with him.”

McGoldrick yesterday finished up as the Marlins general manager following three successful years.

“I love the club and the people who make it up and I hope I have left it in better shape than when I arrived,” he said.

Also in the manly daily, and yes it will be a fascinating clash, though 2 different stlyes of 7s

A fascinating clash

IT will be an interesting battle between rival flankers Kotoni Ale (Manly) and Mitch Greenway (Gordon) at Chatswood Oval on Sunday.

Both were teammates at St Augustine’s College three years ago (not to mention at Rat Park) before switching clubs in the summer.

The St Augustine’s production line doesn’t end there, with Marlins’ prop Salesi Manu also coming out of the school in recent years.

I spoke to a guy yesterday who had played a bit of first grade in 09 and 10, he is in seconds this week. I asked him if he was dirty. He told me that he would work his arse off to get back in the picture. Brock and the likes need to think this way. He didn't exactly set the world on fire at the Rats. Hamish Angus and John Kennedy were considered better prospects. I was worried when he was named in first grade for the Marlins.
