    Good question. I'm a huge fan of Dylan Edwards who will be playing SOO 3. He's currently on $500k a year and contracted to the Panthers up until the end of 2024. He should be our number 1 target imo. Manu can play FB next season and then shift back into the centres when Edwards is a Rooster. Edwards will more than likely attract offers from around $750k a year. Teddy $1.1 mill a year. Plenty of change to spend elsewhere.

      Manu should be able to play like he did every week no matter what number is on his back.
      He run with more purpose against the knights, that has nothing to do with what position he plays.
      He's been playing lazy all year , now he decides to have a crack people think he should push Teddy out...

      What BS Teddy tries his heart out every week, if the same could be said for the rest of our squad we would be in the top 4.
      Yup. It looks like an attitude thing sometimes when he doesn’t go after it when he is playing centre. We also need him defensively at centre.

        They knew what Manu could do from fullback well before they re-resigned Teddy recently. Nothing is going to change. As long as Ted is there he’s our Number 1.

          I agree. People have short memories. Manu plays well and suddenly everyone wants to throw Teddy to the wolves. Where is the respect. Where is the loyalty.

            Manu has played fullback games almost exclusively over origin when we are playing garbage sides. He doesn’t have anywhere near the defensive ability, organisational skills, or fitness to do it over a full season right now.

              Loyalty? Wolves?

                Yes he made 300M against a pretty average team.
                Teddy consistently makes 200M+.
                Teddy is a better defensive, positional and sets the defensive line far better than Joey.
                Joey has individual brilliance in attack and I wish he would do that at centre where up to last year was the best in the world.
                Teddy is a much better fullback in all aspects imo.

                And to move Teddy to 5/8.....FFS.

                  Hi Vic, I would love Teddy to find his old form. I can’t remember the last time he looked anywhere near a $1.1 million a year player. That’s a fair chunk out of our salary cap for not much output!

                    And before one half of football yesterday when was the last time Manu showed his old form?
                    Teddy has won every Jack Gibson medal since he joined us. He is as out of form as any of the team.
                    His last game was probably better than Manu's game yesterday.
                    But you want to put him at 5/8, a position he has never played before because Manu finally played a good half of football. That positional change did wonders for Manu. Were you one of the ones who said he will be our next 5/8 when Keary finishes up?

                    F.......

                      Never a fan of Manu at 5/8.

                      Teddy was a brilliant fullback.I haven’t seen that brilliance in a long time. I just don’t think his output is worth the money.He is constantly clogging up our backline and has been skinned countless times in defence which never use to happen. What did you think about his SOO game 1 performance?

                        Nothing to do with how the chooks are going.
                        He had a great game next time out.
                        SOO was lost because our premiership winning halves couldn't create opportunities with all the ball they had and Crichton having no idea how to defend. The attack on Teddy was way over the top and probably to protect the acne wonder boy.

                          This Bates guy seriously has NFI
                          Evidently Sam Walker is off to Brisbane, we should shop Teddy around and Joey Manu or Dylan Edwards should be our new FB????

                            Just a difference of opinion.
                            I still think we will win the GF so what hope do I have FFS.

                              Not to mention that apparently Ben Hunt is on the way, Jack Bird as well, and he picked up Jimmy Maloney from the airport... whilst also wanting to dominate the forum by starting 2-3 new topic every day saying the same thing... oh and Dylan Edwards will come around 750k

                                He's definitely my 1st choice fullback moving forward.
                                So drop Teddy?
