Tony has far to much ability and is alot fitter then people give him credit for, he was the leading player in hit ups for Manly injured. With a pair of props who acctually do their job I think he will reach the form we all know he can play at. Also he is paid far to much to be on the bench, plus we all are talking about last year. The year before under Des he was an animal. Kas, Frank, Tony starting is a nightmare for defenses. Halatau/Jackson, Tolman, Ennis can all make 30-40 tackles.
Bench with Finucane, Jackson/Halatau also provides sufficent motors and ability in defense. Eastwood provides impact and can play prop or backrow or lock, Graham speaks for himself. How i'd love to have him from Round 1. Oh well Gavet looked impressive and Taupau has something to prove. Klemmer might even suprise us all and be ready. I can't wait to see Kasiano, Klemmer, Graham, Tolman in our prop rotation. Hopefully we hold onto Klemmer and Tolman to make it happen!
Jackson, Finucane, Eastwood, Tony Williams help make up the pack for the next few years too if Franky or Halatau retire.
Over the next few seasons i'd think if we hold onto them we will be able to still have a dominate pack with something like.

Then a few other forwards would likely be bought especially with Ennis, Pritchard, Halatau likely to be gone by then.
Even more coming through too and Taupau/Gavet might still be there.
