PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Warriors v Manly [Round 5, 2021]

[Waz13]

So, if Turbo, Jorge and Guacamole are available as suggested in the tele today ... My team to upset the numbnuts would be ..

Tom
Jorge/Suli
Walker
Parker
Garrick
Foran
DCE
Jake
Guacamole
Schuster
Paseka
Cust
Aloaio

Foran
Marty
Keppie
GoJetSki

Liam Foran back in the side?

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

I’d rather Suli than Parker....at least he showed some ticker last week & made a few damaging runs, something Parker hasn’t achieved!

Suli is garbage since he got his new contract he has been ass consistently! If he played for storm in sure he'd be a star

 

[pjayz]

Wacko’s Whispers is saying Tom back but might be in the centres with Suli possibly out injured.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

If it’s the same old Tuesday it will be the same old flogging.

 

[The better Robbo]

Does that mean Walker stays at fullback?
Shane Flanagan said whilst sideline commentating that Walker is found out of position and just doesn't know where to be in attack. He just floats from one side to the other. This is detrimental to any fluency in our attack. If Turbo to centre id like Funa to fullback.
1. Funa
2. Taufua
3. TURBO
4. Walker
5. Garrick/ Harper / Tuipulotu/ Saab

AND CUST MUST START!!!

Olakau-atu would also be a big in!

Surely it’s easier to play Tom at 1 and put Walker and Funa / Tippytoes in centre
Everyone playing in preferred position

I can’t imagine Tom will play centre but if correct FMD we make it hard for ourselves.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

If turbo isnt fullback and walker is then we are guaranteed the spoon.. has to be a joke.

For the normal folk its stupid but we are talking des hasler here the guy who wont drop park foot ballers and chooses an origin center at fullback where he SUCKS

Said it before and totally agreed with Flannigan re Walker. He’s been awful at 1. Positional play atrocious and our D on either side has been all at sea on the edges. Fb plays a huge role in knowing where plays are going and positioning the front line. Don’t get me wrong tackling has been a problem but it’s beyond me how Walker wasn’t shifted to 3 after the Easts game. Walker has looked better with ball in hand tho so bloody get him back to Centre. I’d put Funa to 1 until Tom comes back.

 

[Johnno74]

This is a thought I'd been discussing with mates talking footy.I said a few weeks ago I'd move turbo to centres and funa at FB and in attack swap them around in plays ,if possible I think would preserve turbo and stiffen defence

 

[ManEagle]

It is tough times for sure but we’ll get a W soon. Hopefully the Warriors this week.

Sorry mate for some reason I read that as we'll get the W spoon.
I though fk hows that going to cheer him up.
Some bloody pep talk

 

[susan]

Tom will not be playing next week

Funa was definitely no superstar at fullback last year BUT he was better than Walker’s been.

It has truly got me ****ed why he hasn’t had a run there yet !!

Just my opinion feathered friend

No way that Funa was better then Walker at Fullback .

Harper was good at number one in the trial against the Tigers and deserved a shot a Fullback

We can agree to disagree.

In my opinion definitely not a quality fullback option but it wouldn’t take much to be better than Dylan.

He’s a good centre but a pretty ****ty fullback.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Tom will not be playing next week

I agree , never thought he would.

I assume you have some inside information on that ??

I said before round 1 ( when they said 4 weeks) it would be much more like 8-10 weeks.

Zero knowledge on my behalf but just going on every other injury he has had over the years has taken way longer than the original estimate.

Agree to disagree is what this great forum is for

Of course , and unlike some on here you , or I, don’t lose our **** if we do disagree !!

The passion for our club runs wild on our forum so they can be excused for losing it

Mate, have to 2 mates who have been at training last week /weekend, he ain't ready, running at 70%. insane to risk him until he stretches out 100% on a number of of training runs not just one. It would be throwing him under the bus. Can understand people suggesting he plays in the centre - less running and less chance of a blow out. Reckon not this game and maybe 2 games away. Does it really matter any more? season is gone. Even Jesus couldn't resurrect the form of some of these players?
