Toms communication from the back will definately help, no chance Garrick will be caught walking backwards with him marshalling from behind,

But FFS with Koula and Garrick swapped and Simpkin in for Croker how many points better does that side look?

And please bring bullemore on before half time.

Croker is our 9 this year, which is fair enough imo. My guess is no guarantees for the future though.
hmmm what makes you guess that counsellor ? for some reason I'm thinking the opposite that Simpkins is surplus to requirements as far Seibold is concerned as he hasn't been seen off Nobbys since Croker got back

Tom even at 50% makes our team look much better but I'm really struggling with the makeup of the bench and Croker at 9.
Toms presence will be an Inspiration but all our players must lift their own standards from last weeks home game 7 try, 40 point capitulation .

The Dogs pack have been exposed against bigger packs two games in a row and their coach must find a way to counteract this weakness and innovate a winning game plan
If he can do this he will also have the fanatical home Ground advantage to Inspire his team to a win

At the beginning of the Year , No one tipped the Dogs to play finals
Let alone play a home final
Manly have the players to put a final stop to the Bulldogs 2024 fairy tail
For Manly to lose two games in a row and bow out of the finals would be a big anticlimax to our finals finish and a major disappointment

We need to win this game
NO EXCUSES !

Is Turbo really the God some Manly fans think he is? Honestly I think the team deserves more credit than it does without him, they have learnt to win without him, they can’t have this stigma they are a one man team - Turbo can have some great games and have some extremely frustrating too

Are you saying that Simkins is a Surplus and Croker is a Superstar feathered friend ?

We can win a few games against sh*t teams without Turbo but any game against top 8 and especially a final we are toast without him.

Do you know where I can get some Cocaine out Belmore way TJ ?
Maybe you can ask your players for me ?

No much point looking off Nobbys for a Manly player.
I just suspect that Lachie has been such a core part of the team in recent years that win or lose he's going to be part of this season's campaign. Big off-season for Simpkins (or Gordie) and it could be a new ball game next year. Just my guess, but there's clearly some reason for it.

No mate I don’t I live in Warriewood, I would say there is a lot more on the Northern Beaches than Belmore from the statistics haha

Im asking I guess whether Siebold sees Simkins as surplus, and is happy to run with Croker as the permanent Hooker for the foreseeable future,as in next year. I hope not as as Simkins is no Harry Grant ,but he certainly offers much more Brailey like expertise (the Sharks 9 who cut us a new arsehole last weekend) to that 9 position .
Our slow forwards look a lot faster getting run onto the ball before the D gets to them ,as opposed to with Croker getting the ball at the same time as the D is right in front and all the run off from that ,slow ptb's etc etc

Statistically speaking Ado Carr looks like he is Stuffed
He might be out on a Cocaine high for a while.
Big game this weekend and one of us will be crying at the end

Thank you for clarifying . You make some fine points feathered friend
