MEET the unknown Manly recruit who is my pick for buy of the year in both SuperCoach and actual NRL.
Lloyd Perrett, the younger brother of recently-retired Bulldogs winger Sam, has created a serious stir at the Sea Eagles this pre-season after transferring from Canterbury.
Manly Head of Football and rugby league Immortal Bob Fulton has been immensely impressed with Perrett, tipping the 115kg prop to play an important role following a mass exodus of forwards including Siosaia Vave, Josh Starling, Jamie Buhrer, Luke Burgess, Nathan Green, Blake Leary, Tom Symonds, Feleti Mateo and highly-rated young gun Liam Knight.
Regular first grader Darcy Lussick will miss at least the first month with a wrist injury while veteran Queensland and Australian prop Nate Myles is fighting an ongoing knee issue that could sideline him at any time.
With such a large turnover of players, Perrett will make Manly’s best 17, although he picked up an injury in last week’s trial and hasn’t been named for Saturday’s final pre-season hit out.
Hopefully he is fit for round one but even if not he should play plenty of NRL this year.
Perrett played just 24 games at the Bulldogs over three seasons and therefore starts 2017 as one of the cheapest props in SuperCoach at $150,400
He notched just two games last year despite coach Des Hasler wanting to play him much more. Hasler’s hands were tied by second tier salary cap issues.
Perrett is owned by just two per cent of SuperCoaches at the moment, but expect that figure to soar during the year.
He scores a spot on my SuperCoach bench behind proven players Andrew Fifita and Ryan James.
