The best roster on paper

AND they arent loosing anyone next year

[Rooster_6]

No one seemed to care last year when they came 8th with practically the same roster

Foran has progressed super quickly and nobody knew what to expect from DCE this season... If it wasnt for these 2 kids having superb seasons then they are lucky to finish in the 8 again and we arent even having this conversation

They struggled with injury and suspension last year, they could barely field a side in their final game.

They have just about the best 17 in the league, they just don't seem to lose their good players.

2011 loses;
Ben Farrar, Josh Perry, Lama Tasi & Trent Hodkinson

2010 loses;
Glen Hall, JWH, Michael Bani, Adam Cuthbertson, Heath L'estrange & Matt Orfrod

2009 loses;
David Vaealiki, Steve Bell, Steve Menzies, Luke Williamson, Mark Bryant & Jack Afamasaga

None of those are good players?

They loose Matt Orford, they find Trent Hodkinson, the loose Trent Hodkinson they find Daly Cherry Evans. That's why they're a good side...

Respect to Manly, they've built their squad from withing and with smart purchases like Rodney & Gualavou who were unwanted.

Lama was only NYC, Hargraves played a handful of nrl games, Cuthbertson was at the sharks in 2010,vaeliki bryant afamasaga farrar hodkinson williamson are all myths. Orford and menzies were asking too much. Cherry Evans was a lucky find.

Hopoate,Buhrer and DCE would be on bugger all this year and they have a heap of cheapies that they get a lot out of like Mauro,Galuvao,Rose,Rodney,Oldfield and Tim Robinson. It's no secret that it's the teams that get the most value for money out players are the teams that win it or go real close.
