Pre-Game Bulldogs v Manly [Round 25, 2022]

[The Who]

Al out. Surely he couldn't be injured again.
Is he the cause of the ill content in the squad?

 

[cc eagle]

Anyone know what happened to Keppie. From what I can remember he injured his shoulder Rd 19, was supposed to be a 3 week recovery but hasn’t returned since.

He's good to go next game

 

[Eddie Rapido]

Yep last game of the year. That's how the fossil works. Should of been in that spot 4 or 5 weeks ago.

Agree. As it stands he will have to deal with Burton’s towering bombs in his first proper 1st grade game and in the fullback position. The kid does have real X factor attacking flair and I hope he has a blinder so that it is hard to leave him out of selections in some capacity next season.

Any tom dick and harry can make excuses for a loss
We seem to have too many tom dick and harrys in our club

Our Tom is injured and we could actually use a Harry, but I agree we have too many Dicks

A quick check shows that we've only had one Dick & one Harry in the club - both in 1947. However, we have had five Toms 🙂

As Thomas Keneally once wrote, “Blow that whistle ref”…..the full time whistle.

 

[Wombat64]

First time in a few years, that I haven't saved any Manly games with great wins on the IQ3, this year. Oh well FOXTEL sports package will be getting the flick once this game is completed on Friday night.

Me too!

 

[JenEagle]

Sounds like Aloai has asked for a release.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

If Weekes has a happy debut, that backline can get a job done against the Dogs.

Forwards and bench forwards look a bit weak imo but frankly we aren't up against the most mobile and hard-working pack in the world.

Walker to have a giant one and get us over the line on his last!

Call me a blind optimist but I have a decent feeling about this game and that team, might even put a small $$ on it.

Save your money - the boys have been in Bali for a month now.

? When

 

[NREagle]

Sounds like Aloai has asked for a release.

The nrl casualty list released this afternoon doesn't mention him as being injured so wonder if that's the case?

Yep in the Tele it just says he has not been selected.

We only just extended his contract not long ago

 

[Nordburg]

We only just extended his contract not long ago

Which means Manly would be in the box seat if another team are interested.Although it could backfire in a Blake Green way if they don’t.This is where the NRL have got their transfer system wrong

 

[sheridanstand78]

I do not expect much to change. The team clocked off 6 weeks ago!

 

[lsz]

I am the internal optimist however I do not see us having much of a chance.

What I would love to see is Des to give croker a spell and have young Gordon have a crack- I think the experience alone would outweigh the fact we would get carved through the middle (which is going to happen anyway)

 

[Ryan]

Give me some bloody hope guys ! I backed us in and put $100 bucks on us this weekend. S.O.S @Woodsie

Nope agree

Dogs will want to put a score on us

Something like 48-4 is my guess

Burton to bomb weekes all night.

I fear this week was going to be more ugly than previous weeks.

All I want to see is some effort from players but even that I think will be a bridge too far.
