PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Tigers [Round 1, 2019]

[jamesie]

No Jade Anderson listed anywhere either

 

[StuBoot]

Interesting no walker or Waddell in that squad.

It's a "W" free week.

13 Denzal Tonise

Interchange

17 Charles Shepherd

18 Fred Junior Mauala

22 Keith Titmuss

24 Eric Newbigging

Coach: Steven Hales

This team will bear little resemblance to the final team when the 8 players named in the 21 are dropped back

generally you run 17 players (13 plus bench of 4) or is there something you know that we don't?

 

[Fluffy]

No Anderson as per the Silvertails supercoach request.

no ... just had a seniors moment ..

 

[bob dylan]

Worst backline in Manlys history I'd say.

#sackDes

Must be injured not playing in BWSE either.

 

[Scorpio]

Lachlan Croker ..... First Des offers him a development contract ... then named in the 21 ahead of Cust .....

Interesting ......

Cust is #19
Croker is #21

Obvious Des still sees potential in Lachlan though.

 

[Sue]

7 to 13 top four or five in league
6 outward and bench is bottom 2
Marshall’s long passes a worry with our slow backs
Need Kelepi on bench badly. Hope it’s fair dinkum
Tigers missing.a few, not scary

Some chance I’d reckon

 

[mave]

No Waddell ?
Suprising.

 

[Ryan]

Cust is #19
Croker is #21

Obvious Des still sees potential in Lachlan though.

Des also told Latrell Mitchell he was no good, but even worse, has picked Suli / Parker in the centres - 2 of the biggest plods in the game (at least Taufua will keep up).

This team of ours wreaks of Cartwright.

 

[Peter C]

Worst backline in Manlys history I'd say.

Probably also worst forward lineup ever as well

 

[Kevinward777]

Probably also worst forward lineup ever as well

I’m scratching my head at this one?

 

[Moops]

The Tigers team named is hardly anything to be frightened of. If you put Walker and Trbojevic in there, I would like our chances. Parker, Suli and Elliot worry me big time!!

 

[Ryan]

Probably also worst forward lineup ever as well

8-13, plus Tanginoa look fantastic imo.

Sipley is a scrub.
Gosi is meh - surprised he got offered another contract. Made of glass.
Hodkinson - why? I'd rather have a pile.of sticks

 

[Fluffy]

Hopefully Garrick and Suli swap otherwise Garrick is going to have a very lonely day

It is no secret where the Tigers will come at us. Suli and Parker are in for a busy afternoon!

Like Fluffy said, having lump features Suli in there not passing to Garrick, may as well not even play a winger .

What a dumb backline.

[Chip and Chase]

Kelepi...miracle healing man if ever there was one.

I'll be stoked if he makes the cut. Bench will lack some punch without him, Sipley and Perrett rotating through middle isn't as inspiring
