GAME DAY - Manly v Rorters [Round 25, 2015] Toovey Farewell Tour

[The Who]

I'll have a crack at whinging.
Why pick the same players who let us down so miserably last match - when you have very capable alternatives?
I can only assume 2V has given up, and we are pinning our hopes on winning the NSW Cup!

Do you truly believe that the team named will be the one that runs on on Friday night?

What, you think we've got a secret plan, do you?

 

[Nordburg]

What, you think we've got a secret plan, do you?

Come on,Manly fans are supposed to have higher IQ's than Rabbits supporters.I'll wager plenty that that won't be the side that runs out.Last week Starling was named to start but Sao took his place.Secret plan?I think not.Just the usual coaches playing games

 

[The Wheel]

Looks like Gosford has taken over as the " Fortress"!

So assuming we lose on Friday against the current favorites our win/loss ratio is 50% for the year - hardly worthy of being called the Fortress

Surely it's time for BJ to Hang up the boots with neck and now knee injuries. I love the bloke but we're putting salary cap money down the toilet.

If T red is fit, he has to play. Losing Ballin is huge. Having an experienced hooker in these big games is vital. Ballin was on his game in those big wins against brisbane and souths. directing the forwards and promoting good balls to both forwards and dce. Hopefully hodges steps up, his passing and options are not the best though, but who else do we have??

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So pleased to see James Hassoooooon getting another run, such a gun and will be a massive loss in 2016.

James fooking Hasson

You will NEVER convince me that an underdone Lawrence is not better that our residence useless POS.

BJ is out for the season with a knee injury.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

and I'll never stop hoping BUT realistically we had to beat the Eels, and we didn't !!

Mark, Mark, Mark ... settle down old timer, when we beat the Chookies you'll be shouting "I knew we could do it!", lol
I reckon we are specials this week. (I have been wrong once or twice in the past though)

 

[BOZO]

Just read Brenton Lawrence has a season ending knee injury, won't play again this year !!

Given his balloon passes from dummy half on the weekend he shouldn't be allowed to be any where near a play the ball

How hard is it to pass a ball ???

 

[Brissie Kid]

Is the salary cap forcing Tooves to pick the same players?

Agree

I think T Red will be a better replacement at Hooker than Leary. he has a good passing game and speed.

Courier mail

Manly Sea Eagles v Sydney Roosters

Friday 7:45pm at Brookvale Oval

Manly: Willie Mason will be able to return from suspension while Tom Symonds is also expected to be fit after struggling with a niggling knee injury for several weeks. Brenton Lawrence has played several weeks in NSW Cup and may make a return to first grade off the bench.

Roosters: Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (knee) and Mitchell Pearce (hamstring) are both out with injury. Waerea-Hargreaves is out for the season and will be replaced in the short-term by Suaia Matagi while Pearce is expected to miss at least a few weeks with young gun Jackson Hastings to step into the No. 7 jersey. Michael Jennings has been hit with a shoulder charge and will miss one match regardless of his plea — if he is suspended, Mitchell Aubusson will likely revert to the centres but the possibility of exciting youngster Latrell Mitchell, who was 18th man for the Roosters last weekend, making his NRL debut should not be counted out.

Either way, still a sh*t hot side. We better bring our game faces.

Do you truly believe that the team named will be the one that runs on on Friday night?

Yes, hasn't that always been the case.

 

[davohan123]

Cannot believe we are equal favourites here @ $1.90 I would say we should be about $3.95

 

[God]

If thats the team that actually runs out I'm saddened by the way it was done but glad were moving in a new direction next year.

 

[mickqld]

Doesn't matter anymore. We fuked up Iast week and blew it. Chooks by whatever. 🙁

If Freddy's Pass Off is any guide, actually it's diabolically difficult for NRL players. However,
their daughters, water polo ppl, old men, TV celebrity types fare very well. It's just NRL players . . . .

Would love to see Michelle Jenneke get a run . . . . Can't think what position she should play though . . .
