Best ever

[The better Robbo]

If we can somehow scrape a win in this semi without Turbo, Marty, Siro, Thommo, possibly no Sipley, Gosiewski and Boyle it would go down as one of our greatest and courageous ever wins. We basically have half our wooden spoon reserve grade Forwards and a backline at the start of the year that were all misfits. This week is our Grand Final.

T-rex and olokau-atu and possibly Sipley provide cover for Gosiewski and Boyle if either are unfit. Cust and Funa also named in the 21

That would be the smallest NRL starting pack ever fielded but it’s probably close to the mark. Starting Api at lock I couldn’t possibly go with but Olokau’atu is only other option as a backrower I suppose . I’d go with him and API on bench or out of side.Kid has talent and might surprise.

Putting TRex in over a good young development player would be ridiculous. One because Olo has talent and two because TRex would be embarrassing in a fast up beat final. Can we just end the romance with him.
Out of the wreckage of the last two weeks might come a future star. Who knows.

If you are going to push for him then give him the respect of getting his name right ... its Haumole Olokau'atu ... I'd love to see him get a start too .... would be a hard debut game

Will change it right now sir. Think he deserves a chance

Indeed he does

Tigers aren't the largest pack, their 2 big props have been out most of the year, and they rely on fast team play. Benji Thompson and Brooks will cut us to pieces (unless we can pull off our greatest win!)

Guac has had a season of injuries.

T-Rex meanwhile is well rested and would cover winger, 5/8, second row and prop spots

Tuesday 4pm all will be revealed

Sharks on the other hand have plenty of size. Probably makes no difference who we play, I have a slight preference for Sharks but I've tipped the Tigers.

Perfect, he'll fit right in with the rest of our team!

And TRex has had 6 seasons of cocaine, drink driving and woeful performances.
I assume Guaca is on a development contract for a reason. Let’s show him some trust over a guy who is long past it.

All we need is 4 good games from him

Injuries will determine our squad now and not form

Lately we lose 2 players during each match

you left out full back and half back in case DCE gets injured (or hooked).

I have watched footy like a lot of us for 40 odd years. I can never remember a side decimated like this in a month of football. Damn tragedy as we have beaten Melbourne away, Canberra twice and should have beaten Souths twice.

Is there a better record against top four opposition. I’m pretty sure there isn’t outside of the scum and maybe Rorters. Parra have hardly beaten a good side all year until they got us injured.

 

[eagle66]

You are all well trained by the school of Des. Haumole Olokau'atu last match was 21/7/19 where he only played 32 minutes and hasn't been sighted since. T-Rex I am sure is not in our 30 man squad. Correct me if I am wrong, so he can't be in the calculations unless Greenberg sanctions his selection.

I haven't seen Trex play in those positions, but he did in those I listed

Your right , we are decimated at the moment but the upside is we are playing finals footy where most had us getting the spoon . As bad as it seems , what a year we have had proving all these so called experts wrong. She ain't over yet Suz, we are the Manly boys ....and girls.

 

[The better Robbo]

Didnt Olokoa-atu get put in our top 30 squad??? Also we would have no worries getting an exemption to play T rex if that's what Des decides to do. No different to when Miski was playing earlier in the year

 

[sheridanstand78]

It will take a monumental effort. I just checked our lineup against the Drizzle and Drizzle park in July, there are six injured players since. Our squad is decimated and players like DCE are also playing busted.

The evidence is that we need stronger depth and we need to question is Blacktown really benefiting our club????
