Have to agree manu is better off the bench as he creates more when their forwards are tiring!

And noway should tickle be doing full 80, i was under the impression aswell that that was 1 of the reasons that thorman was brought in

Yes Manu should start on the bench and be an impact player, I said he tires late on and teams run at him and he gets caught out, I would start with Radders,Tickle and Washy with Manu,Lee,Whiting and King on the bench.

Exactly what I just said!

One prop on the bench, and it's King?



If one prop was on the bench it should be Thacks.

It's a common myth that Manu plays better from the bench. The few times he has started on the bench he has struggled to get into the game. He would just be miles more effective if given a short rest.

Also, teams have highlighted he is our main/only threat and are making him do a ton of work in defence which isn't helping.

spot on

Which is what we will do if he starts the game IMO, we have used this tactic before to good effect.

Nobody cares what you think on this board. Go talk tactics on your own.

Mmmmmwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Out of all the players we lost when Cas last got relegated, Manu is the only player i have kept an interest in, we have a great team at the moment, but i wish we still had manu, he is an awesome player, and one i hope will play for cas again in the future, look after him, he is quality, and a good bloke.

He is much fitter this year than he has been before. Thats why he is lasting a full game, personally I would take him off just before HT, and give him some rest.

He is much better when he starts but I agree a rest somewhere either side of HT would be the best way to use him.
