Is our three quarter line the slowest in SL? Miski and the returning French will be a breath of fresh air.

What do you know about Miski and why do you think he’s going to be any good? How often have you seen him play? The only thing i have heard about him is he was supposedly useless v Toulouse and I know he’s been playing in the championship so I assume that’s his level.

I don't think Marshall is short of pace. But the best teams get their strike players into open space, as Melbourne are able to do with Ado-Carr, Not saying Marshy is anywhere near that level, but the point remains.

I’ve seen him regularly, he’s going to surprise fans next season. Really good out of yardage and very strong and difficult to tackle.

Was only overlooked by Manly due to the sheer quality of outside backs there. Only came to the UK in January during lockdown.

Championship isn’t his level at all, and you give him a disservice with that assumption. Holds the record at Manly for bench press from an outside back just to give an indication on how strong he is.

More than likely be our top try scorer next season, in fact I’m willing to put a bet on it.

But was released from other nsw cup teams before signing for manly feeder club, hes 26 and played less than 30 pro games, not great

Beginning to wonder if Marshall is even that fast anymore?

Cannot remember last time I saw him stretch his legs.

Might help if he ever got a pass.

There was only one real opportunity for Gildart to pass it last night where he could have made a break.

All others he’d have been in touch.
