Do the Hasson haters ever stop to think there must be a reason behind his selection? Maybe it is as simple as him being the fittest?

are we talking in evolutionary terms???

Rather than have hasson I would put Tom T on Jorges wing and move Jorge to the forwards for this one game. It simply has got to be a better option that hasson.

Jorge is back to his best on the wing. Why move him to the forwards right now? I know we don't like Hasson but that to me isn't the best move.

For what it's worth......Lawrence and Hodges are shown training yesterday in photo on back page of today's Daily.

Really kneed a few of those injured players back quick smart

I'm actually excited about seeing Chee Cam finally having a run, I think we might just go ok, I think the guys will be out to show Tooves they're right behind him. GOOOOO MANLY !!!!!!

Chee Kam had a run this time last year against the Cowboys and that was nothing to get excited over.

Watching Lawrence last week, he's way off playing 1st grade.

With a major back operation I just wonder if he will ever be the same player again

He is fit but he is also sht

Have heard he feels great but fitness is shot.

2nd hand info though.

I would imagine he is pulling up very sore right now after not being able to work the back for months

He's also the least skillful, and the dumbest. Have you ever seen such an idiotic play as trying to catch a short kick-off that wasn't going 10-metres? Every other player in the NRL would have stayed back, gifting Manly a penalty from half -way. But not half-wit Hasson. He gives the Worriers a penalty from half way.

 

[Budgie]

I disagree with those saying Tommy T over Hiku. I think the Broncs would really try to break him. Prefer to keep nurturing him in the twenties.

Possibly not, just the beep tests...

is that how BJ did his injury?😀

Surely all the happenings of the last few days will be a great motivation for the team. Killer seamed really down and the players must feel a little responsible. Plus 2v has something to prove.

 

[Lil_wayne]

At least we will have a new coach next year who won't be so blinkered in selections.

I guess it depends if they are happy to see him go (as some allegedly are)

Do you really need to continually sink the boot in, we get it you hate Toovey, now move on.

True but that was before the events of this past week, if the guy's got anything I expect we'll see it on Saturday if not then they might as well let him go, what's happened in the past week shouldbe enough to put a rocket up their backsides

 

[Clay]

There are two more Chee Kams in our junior system.
Given our injuries and ladder position it's a perfect opportunity to see if he is worth keeping, a player can improve a lot in a year

 

[eaglebuzz]

We're not really in a "building for the future" stage now.

Tooves now has precisely 0% motivation to care about preparing the team for next year. It will be about picking the team that has the greatest chance of winning the match that week.

To his credit Toovey has named Hasson a few times lately but not actually played him. So he seems to know that Hasson is pretty ordinary. My guess is he must be a really good trainer, and he has shown flashes of goodness - like his defence in the second half that kept the Tigers or Sharks (can't remember which) from coming back into the match when they were starting to get a roll on.
