Finally Full strength - touch wood !!

[Brisbane Tragic]

If i could i would give u a thousand agrees, you watch tomorrow night I fear DCE with Croker out will over play his hand a lot. Croker has been the link to a lot of our plays. Big out.

Yep huge out indeed - Croker is an 80 minute player. Lawnton wont be! Silly thread.

Yep I wouldn't have posted this thread - just asking for trouble and Croker out is trouble!

Well it's posted now so save the tears till after the game....still a great lineup and don't underestimate what Lawton can do at 9....more experience here than backrow where he has excelled

Finally Full strength -touch wood

I hope you realise you have to actually touch something wooden? Merely saying or typing "touch wood" is not enough, might have caused the jinx, thanks a million!

edit* sorry @Eagle of London I thought this thread was yours but its all Maxta's fault

Ask Baz if you can touch his spoon.

Still...you should've touched your wood more!

That could be the problem mate - I think I may have touched it a bit too much

Too much...?

Too much...?

Guilty as charged your honour

I never like posts where we gloat about something or feel overly secure about something we don't have control over as a club/team. In my view just asking for disaster to bite you on the arse. Des' view of under the radar is always the better method - say little, Anyway yes the thread is up as you say. Lawnton does have great experience but Croker is an 80 min player. This means that Walker now will have to play hooker for stints - blunting the unpredictability he brings to the side. We will need unpredictability tonight as the Storm mug Tom. The more attacking weapons the better. Maybe Walker can explode from dummy half as they are mugging Tom one off the ruck - maybe that might be a positive. But this is a massive out for us.

Hate to break the news mate, but I ain't no witch doctor and I can assure you I have no Croker Voodoo doll....
It would be the same as the 100's of Silvertails threads on players over the years and then they get suspended, injured, or bitten by the neighbours dog....threads are simply an observation, not to cast a spell, gloat or to talk about women's netball.
The best thing you responded with are the positives such as Walker maybe exploding out from dummy half and the unpredictable requirements - ONLY if Manly earn the right and win the momentum through the guts.
Btw - did you see the 2nd last try last weekend to DCE....the pass from Lawton to push Tom into space was the best dummy half pass of the round, so as much as Croker been doing great, let's give Lawton a go and stay positive...

Can the thread starter also please assure me that I won't be winning lotto anytime soon.

Sirro coming onto the bench over Sipley?

I would have thought Sipley would case a lot more trouble to Melb D, however Sirro's defence may be better.

Thoughts?

 

[manly al]

Don ;t mind Siro coming onto the bench , not too sure of his fitness level but fairly confident that he can still offer something worthwhile . Hopefully as he is approaching the final stage of his Manly and maybe N R L career , extra motivation to show what he is capable of and with a bit of self pride

Walker to come on once the defense is tired and barge his way over from dummy half.
This try will be the straw that broke the camels back, and Manly will then score another 18 unanswered points to absolutely annihilate Melbourne.
