Should Manly have made more changes?

Greg Alexander has given his thoughts as to whether the Sea Eagles should have made more changes to their starting 13.

Having lost their opening three games and parting ways with coach Anthony Seibold, there has been plenty of conversation surrounding what changes interim coach Kieran Foran should make.

Despite the talk, which included whether to add young half Joey Walsh into the starting line-up, the only change that the side made for their Round 5 clash against the Dolphins was Clayton Faulalo coming in for the suspended Jason Saab.

Whilst initially being against keeping the same side, Alexander does believe it is the right call.

But notes that it puts all the pressure on the players to perform.

“Everything is on the players,” Alexander said on SEN’s Kick Off.

“And by him (Foran) not making any changes, even more so.

“I think he's pulled the right rein. Thinking about it, and I know I said I would've made changes, and you know, there might have been a couple.

“I think the way he's handled it by not making a change and just saying, ‘Well, you boys that have got everyone into the mess that it is, you get another go’.”

This was a sentiment shared by Jimmy Smith.

“You're exactly right,” Smith added.

“It's like, ‘Do you guys believe you're the NRL players?’.

“OK, well, go out there and do it.”

Foran begins his tenure as Sea Eagles on Thursday (tonight) against the Dolphins at Kayo Stadium in Redcliffe.

SEN League will have live coverage of the match available on SEN’s radio network and on the SEN app from 7pm AEDT.

Kick-off takes place at 8pm.
