I see Mann as the perfect lock. SEveral great 5/8's played locklike Lewis and Fitler and even Langmack played there a few times. Him and Salmon are ideal to rotate I think as Salmon is a bit similar except I think be can break the line with his slightly bigger size.
Mann can also play hooker and dummy half so he's versitile. I reckon as we are now the more he is on the filed the better.
But I think we have plenty of 5/8's and halves that should get a chance. I think Tracy would be ok by the looks of his earlier days at half or 5/8. Don't forget Oloapu. I hope he gets another go this year with a new team. We need some x factor in the halves. Sexton is probably the most experienced half with a bit x factor. But he seems to hold back. But maybe he could be developed into a Sherwin type halfback.
Thats why I reckon we should eventually blood one of the young halves like Woods who has heeps of talent. Most good sides have at least one half with that unpredictability that can make something out of nothing. Like Munster or Johnson. In the meantime we have a lot of good halves that will fill the role until we can develop our own.
