Elliot in
Boyle starts
croker to bench
cust to 6

Very good changes but come on Waddell is a machine how does he not get picked

 

[davohan123]

I will admit I'd be happier if this was today's lineup.....

Elliot, Taufua, Parker, Suli, Garrick, Cust, Cherry-Evans, Keppie, Croker, Taupau, Thompson, Sironen, Trbojevic. Bench - Levi, Paseka, Boyle, Waddell.

But I'm not there, I'm not the coach and I don't see what goes on day to day with the squad. Des knows a hell of a lot more about it than I ever will.

Well you nearly got your wish but Elliott in at 1 is happening and I am happy about it

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Cust at 5/8

Elliott at fullback

We are at least a chance , good work Desmond.

PS: Apparently pissing down at Kogarah.

Elliot played well at 1 last year I thought crazy he was left out the last 2 weeks.
we beat knights last week with him in.
garrick never a full back.

Garrick is a decent in-game fill in fullback if needed, but we are better served with him on the wing. Elliot may not be a Turbo like attacking player, but generally he is safe.

The only thing I fear is that we'll actually start with Garrick at fullback and Elliot on the wing.

 

[Will on the hill]

Apparently he has an injured shoulder, not that you would know that from the clubs injury reports.

 

[HoldenV8]

Apparently there is another change.

Boyle is starting with Paseka coming off the bench.

 

[eaglebuzz]

I like our chances with those changes but rain always makes me nervous. Our team forgets how to play in the wet.

 

[ALinda]

Elliot in
Boyle starts
croker to bench
cust to 6

Apart from Waddell, that's pretty good and just about best we could ask for.
Go Manly!

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Fark it’s going to be a wet one.

Our usual solid defence and good completions should get us a win today

He hurt it in the broncs game in a darry B tackle

Weather doesn't look too bad...

Well done Dessie.
Good to see some fluidity in selections.

 

[Disco]

Like the changes, have always preferred Cust to Croker and feel safer with Elliott at the back

They were doing an interview with Jake pre-game and he was holding an umbrella. It looked like a decent amount was coming down at the time

 

[40 years an eagle]

The only thing wrong with that team is Jetski.
