And he will never be a good half.

I didn't say that he will but to put him in the forwards is ludicrous

No way Roosters can be under the cap #nrlcorruptasfuck

Friend having a cracker for the rorters what I wouldn’t give to have a dummy half of that caliber (or one that can throw a pass) at the club

It's not ludicrous. A lot of what he's good at would transition well if he moved into the forwards. Good defensive technique, high intensity, not afraid of doing the hard yards, tough, competitive, good at distributing the ball, etc.

His frame is deceptively big and he will continue to fill it out with age, can't see any reason why he couldn't push the 100kg mark with some work over the years.

Congrats Manly ... Making history one week at a time.

Highest points ever put on Manly by Roosters.

If they can hit 64-18 (highly possible with 8 minutes left) it'll also be the highest winning margin by Roosters over Manly.

Bye Bye Barrett!! Hello Hasler

 

[Mr Invisible]

that's a shame... was almost 60...

I'm confused, didn't he regather it before it hit the ground!

 

[The DoggFather]

Ours was still the most embarrassing loss

 

[CrittaMagic69]

The bombed try at the end will 100% cost me in SC lol

Nope.

He didn't regather it before it hit the ground.

But if it was the Bulldogs, several posters would have sworn he regathered before the ball hit the ground.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Manly should bring back Des asap

 

[Mr Invisible]

Surely Barrett can't survive the season if this continues.

Wow, just wow

Not wow, players have made this move before. Matterson was a similar build coming through the grades.

Lewis is skinny and doesn't have the frame to be a forward. He isn't a hole runner or damaging defensively. You will NEVER see him as a 2nd rower in the NRL.

The blokes about 6'3 and weighs over 90kg atm, he can easily add an extra 10kg+ over the next 2 years and is likely to naturally fill out anyway. His defensive technique is good and he has chopped down plenty of big forwards that have run at him across both grades. And hole running? That's not a major issue as his role would be more like a Murray at the running through the middle and linking up play.

Wasn't worth watching after twenty minutes, I can't believe Manly was just jogging in defence and going oh well, the whole park should of been refunded.
