Former Australian and New South Wales halfback Brett Kimmorley believes the once mighty Manly-Warringah could miss the 2015 playoffs.

Writing for foxsports.com.au, Kimmorley says off-field dramas and depth are causing Manly headaches.

“I’m really worried for Manly. They could genuinely miss the finals this year, a big call considering the lofty standards they’ve set over the last decade” Kimmorley writes.

“They finished all but minor premiers last year this time round their forwards are struggling, drama just keeps popping up with Geoff Toovey’s blow-up over the concussion rules just the latest one to surround them, and their injury toll is worrying. The depth in the Sea Eagles squad just isn’t there, especially if Feleti Mateo and Josh Starling are out long term.”
