Manly to beat the cows.

[NYEagle]

Thurston will be a warm knife and Manly butter.
But I do hope the club read some of our insights with a view to slowly improving this team. We can give up on top 8, but we should never give up on this club.

Oh they read what we say all right, but the good stuff gets ignored and the bad stuff gets deleted.

Unless we have more than just Lawrence and Myles as far as props go, then we are absolutely no chance whatsoever. They'll just eventually run straight through us, irrespective of Scott and Taumololo.

JT will just kick us into 0-3 loss

Turbo still lacks positional defense for kicks in goal and Uate's/Jorge's abilities under a corner kick are suss

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Don't get me started Mark!?!??

How about a team $1.3m below on troops ($5.5m) who comes up against a Broncos outfit who who, with TPA's, can field a team upwards of $10m.

What's the point.

Or a team with players pending assault charges where admissions have been made with witnesses.

Or NRL doctors allowing some players to have their salaries removed from the salary cap even though insurance companies have classified their injuries as pre existing.

Aaarrrhgghh. Don't get me started.
We're always on the wrong side of it.

Always, it would be so much easier to be a Donkeys fan!!

But next year will be 55 years for me so I ain't changing now!

Turbo ain't the problem I don't think, sure his positional play in defence needs work but take him out of the side last week and we wouldn't have gotten out of our own end. We had zero go forward, and if We go with the same bench next weekend we'll get pumped, and badly.

Turbo will learn to anticipate the kicks, but JT's pinpoint grubbers, banana kicks and corner bombs will be raining down on Saturday

Yeah well that's their loss.
We provide a good subjective opinion. Yes we are passionate, but we don't have the detailed structures in our heads (or attempts at it), we see the whole picture.
Manly looked down and out impactless and miserable on Saturday, and nothing Souths did suggested they were much better - they just had more structure and a goalkicker.
That was a bottom 4 footy game.
The club might wanna listen because I don't see any upside with the majority of the current squad. They need to take risks now, experiment, and try to find a few healthy combinations before they add players in future years to make a contending team.

Unfortunately I agree NYEagle, 0 from 3 a absolute moral, 0 - 4 likely as well as I don't see us betting the dogs unless the suspension twins put a rocket into the team. I feel sorry for the coach, maybe blood some new life into our current darkness. I wrote a thread - Myles - Is there hope. Question now is - is there life? or is he on life support?

Myles can still tackle and hold up the middle of the field. He just has no impact with the ball. Lumbering , slow and easily pushed back of the advantage line. We aren't winning many games with him at starting prop and the next biggest player on the bench being Kennedy.

I read in these forums this morning that we might have the services of Lussick and Lane this week. Lane was apparently close to playing against Souffs and Darcy could be a surprise inclusion.

Both of those 2 would give us more than any combination of Brown, Kennedy, Winterstein, Sironen and Bainbridge.

Other than the forwards, what worries me about playing in Townsville is fitness. Our forwards were gassed after 50 minutes against Souffs and it was a warm day. In the heat and humidity of Townsville, we're in for hurt if we're out of gas in the same time frame.

 

[HappilyManly]

I saw Brad Parker in the dugout, don't know if that means anything promising

 

[ManlyTragic]

It is hard to be optimistic this week. If we can't beat the teams that finished 12th and 14th last year we are unlike to beat the team that finished 4th!

 

[Kevinward777]

If we get back Lane and Lussick, and if they are without Taumololo, Scott, Coote and Winterstein, we have a glimmer of hope. When we can pick the following team we will definitely win some games.
1 Turbo
2 Uate
3 Walker
4 Kelly
5 Jorge
6 Green
7 DCE
8 Lussick
9 Hastings
10 AFB
11 Tapau
12 Sironen
13 Jake

14 API
15 Lane
16 Lawrence
17 Myles/Perrett

I think you'll find AFB is still suspended for another week.

And Marty!

We can win this !!!
Everything is possible when we believe

It'll take some devine intervention.
