Jamal Fogarty returns for Manly, pushing teenage talent Joey Walsh to the bench despite his impressive recent performances. Coach Foran remains optimistic about Walsh's future.
Jamal Fogarty is ready and roaring to make his Manly return, but coach Kieran Foran says teenage sensation Joey Walsh will still play an integral part in Manly's push for the NRL finals.
The Sea Eagles face a depleted Wests Tigers on Saturday in Magic Round and have been boosted by the return of their star halfback Fogarty from a groin injury.
But the 32-year-old's inclusion has relegated Walsh to the bench after showing glimpses of his glittering potential across the past two games for Manly.
The strong performances came after Foran initially followed in ex-Manly coach Anthony Seibold's footsteps to keep the 19-year-old developing in the NSW Cup.
