The Warriors showing the cheat code to attack Manly. Basically keep going to Suli for 3-4 tackles, bunch Manly up as they try to protect him, then spread a couple wide passes to their left and Bob's your uncle. Two easy-peasy tries for the Warriors following that strategy.
PS George Jennings despite a try, up to his old "out of position" or "missing tackles" best. I'd pay never to see him at Parra again.
PPS BA should make a raid for Jack Hetherington. After all the Panthers are our player development club :P

Well if Kane Evans is in fact off to the Warriors ???
Good thinking. Now that's a smart way to approach the Panthers to release Hetherington a year early.
From what the media have said about RCG (on 800K) and Waqa (600K) deals, the Panthers are picking up 400K and 200K of their salaries respectively. RCG has another 3 years to run, whilst Waqa has another 2.
George Jenning's defence was horrible.
From reports it seems Tamou will be moving on at the end of the year so Hetherington will be promoted. Unless Cleary is just not a fan of his style.
Welch is two years older than Hetherington, has had 2 ACL's and is a starter for the Storm. They'll find the money to keep him, especially since they've lost Tino for next year.
I like the looks of this Nicho Hynes for the Storm.
May be an option as cover for our backs. Quick, elusive, can kick too. He's also shown so far in this game that he could possibly cover numerous positions in the backline. Worth a look IMO.
Plus he kicks goals too. Good all rounder.
Rember that name Poppa.
The other one I'd be looking at is Jason Saab. The Dragons have released him, he would make a good back up in the short term and someone we could groom to take Fergo's place in the long term.
He's at least 2 years off being an NRL quality winger.
