Weekes to come off bench

No further covid outs

Smart move by des

Even though he is not a 9 walker is better starting than making weekes start at 9.

Lawton would of been handy tonight.

Just run harder and tackle harder than them it’s a simple game for simple blokes

Walker starting at hooker. Burbo starting in the back row. Sips starting at lock.

That's different.

Walker starts at 9

Weekes to come off bench

On reflection , might have been too much of an ask to expect Weekes to play real big minutes as a 9 and initial i st grade game but sure that he can still contribute well . Walker might be able to keep the Dragons forwards guessing but then probably helpful to have someone able to replicate his normal role when he comes on in the middle , maybe Schuster . As long as everyone has a serious dig , that will be the main requirement ..

Real question

Who gets more game time tonight weekes or Schuster few has his hands full on that question

they both might ride the pine until 5min to go

Defence wins games so defend like our life/season depends on it. Keep discipline in check, particularly Keppie, and don't be coerced into giving away possession.

Go Manly!!

Given how much game time BenT has played in the last couple of months,I’ll be interested in how he manages.This is the pitfall of protecting players for first grade by not giving them a hit out in the reggies

Season defining game in so many ways

We win tonight and go 2 games clear of dragons on the competition table, effectively 3 with there poor f/a

We lose tonight easts playing the knights after us are going to put 30+points on knights and will jump us on the ladder.

Also if we lose big all our hard work building slowly our f/a goes out the window and I don't see us coming back from it.

 

[wombatgc]

If we can defend at 80% of what the Broncos did last night, we’ll get the win.

 

[The Royal Soup]

i have a really bad feeling

dragons are completely under the pump and in a mist win game

I'm not a fan of Des's left field selections as usually they don't work. However, for this game, all changes are necessary - best fit selections. It will be interesting to see how Walker goes at dummy half - main thing will him not over playing his hand early in the match.
