Interchange

14. Rod Jensen versus 14. Shayne Dunley
15. David Faiumu versus 15. Kylie Leuleuai
16. Jacob Lillyman versus 16. Mark Bryant
17. Mitchell Sargent versus 17. Kane Cleal

I think we cover them in the 08, 11, 13 & 14, but in every other area, they cover us in class. We are in BIG, BIG trouble fellas. Possibly 10th after this week?

Rauhihi has been ruled out, but he would outclass Kite

IMO Jensen performs Dunleys role at about the same level too

 

[CC_Eagle]

Dunley adds more spark, but Jenson is a better defender.

 

[Blunty]

Jensen and Dunley play completely different roles. Jensen plays in the backs, or backrow. I think you'll find Faiumu is the guy who comes on and plays dummy half.

Anyway it is a team game and if Manly play well as a team they have a shot.

It doesn't matter whether someone is better than someone else, such as Thurston vs Willo, or Bowen vs Stewart, it depends on how well you shut them down.

If everyone defends to their potential and as a team, you can't just write us off because they seem to have a better side on paper.

Recall this post a week ago Ryan ??

" All our players are back bar one (admittedly a fine one at that), we are @ Brookie, we NEED a win, certainty has been bought to the club this week with the signings of Bell & Orford, Monnas is VERY comfortable with Orford coming to our great team, Witt has been told by Des that he couldn't be further wrong in rumours of a release, Randall is playing for a contract, King should be more match fit, Harris future is settled, and will want us to see what we are missing...all is good:-

Manly 26 - Nth QLD 6 "

We have gone from certainities to being in "BIG BIG trouble". Why ? Because we dropped Donald and Witt ?

Did we drop donald and witt??

Did either play today, i could understand witt might not play this week after coping a knock last game but if they didnt play today they will be there tomorrow

Both played in PL today.

I wonder who is doing the kicking. I assume it will be Willo or Hicks. Both good on their day but when they are off we will need to score them all under the posts!

Willo first tehn hicks i would think - willo at 5/8 maybe??
