Pre-Game Dragons v Manly [Round 19, 2022]

[skeagle]

Suli is a big out. Not only has his attacking form been destructive but would certainly fire up playing his old club and mates.

 

[Eagle 1]

With Suli out, Mbye goes to centre and a match up against Koula. I feel that is a good even up!

Our front row rotation are key to this match. The saints don’t have a huge amount of punch through the middle and I feel our boys can lay a really good platform for a win.

100% agree, shame Suli's out, Koula would of run rings around him. Mbye can't match Koula for pace and aggression. I can see Koula getting early ball to really expose their weakness out wide. So true on our forwards laying a solid platform with plenty of go forward releasing our potent speed and power in the backs.

Danger game this one , Buggered if I know why but it always is!!

 

[Tragic Eagle]

A great chance for our boys to stand up and get the job done.

Time to stick the sword into them at Kogarah and derail their year, bloody place has had some kind of voodoo spell over us, we’re fixing that up starting Friday.

I can't remember the last time we beat them away, and this record is even worse when we play them in Woolongong....surely this is the game where we finally turn it around.

Big out for us too, can't bank on the 2-3 soft tries we would have scored on his edge now.

I reckon we are sitting ducks without Jake. He holds that middle together.

Dragons always blow us away in the first half when we travel to them. We are in form and will need to be at our best. Its games like this that can cost you a top 8 spot.

But...GO MANLY!!

ps: yes i know im being a pessimist... Its the weather...

You're not @mickqld in disguise are you? Anyway it's good weather for ducks lol

 

[madmax]

Jake is a huge out .... big step up for Toff to get to match Jake in defence ... they will target our middle ... Koula to leave Suli grasping if thin air if DCE gives him good ball

Suli out for the season apparently with syndesmosis injury. Mbye & Lomax starting Centers.

How do we get 80 mins out of Schuster AND Bullemor ( or someone else ) in the back row when neither have played more than a few minutes here and there all year ?? Huge ask given Karl Lawton is long gone and back row stocks are ultra thin now. Given 2nd row/lock is a spot you usually can't waste an interchange on this is a huge issue.

Something about games against the Dragons we always have player chaos in the week leading up to it. I just hope that's where the Covid ends for us this week. Is there anyone at all in Blacktown who is at least used to playing 80 mins we can pressgang in ???

I think Dessie has been using interchange pretty well. Last week with not long to go we still had about 4 left. So hopefully we can cover a couple of extra interchanges this week.

If the team wants to play finals footy they have to knock the dragons out.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Agree the boys need to treat this as a must win game. They took their holiday in the last 10 minutes against the Cowboys now they need to roll their sleeves up for 80 minutes. A repeat of last weeks performance will do the trick. We need to blow them off the park otherwise if it is close the odds are that we will be dudded again by a bad call.

Adam Gee, on top of the hate, in front of a one sided home crowd, worries me.
