Game day thread .. US v Souffs

[Heckenberg]

Is fifi a development player? I’d be fast tracking him into the seventeen for round one. He’s a goer!

It's also a good sign for our fitness to come back so strongly. That settles it, Manly premiers 2023.

Where’s the ranting Des in the sheds? It was the cool as a cucumber Jim Dymock giving the halftime speech.

Des would never have done it this way.

Good. Different.

Rubbish, outclassed, Look like Blacktown Workers.,.... U guys are kidding ...its a F#cking reserve grade trial

Blow it out your arse it was dire for the fist twenty.

Fafita made Toff look a bit pedestrian actually He might push for a bench spot this year if he keeps this up.

Keppie and Tent should be concerned. Stick and pick is very 2022.

Go Fifi!

Very impressed with our boys resilient attitude as they showed great character to come from behind to lead the first half

Fulton again very competitive , Fifita Destructive , Johns creative ,Vaega dynamic , a big match from our little hooker and good all round games from all our players

 

[Bomb Voyage]

How good seeing Flanno wording up Coops in the shed. Seemed really passionate

It wasnt great @Jerry1 But they got back into the game by completing well, and staying positive. The bench forwards made a big difference, and overall we look pretty fit. Lots of good signs for a successful 2023 as a club.

my take
Bully looking great more involved hitting hard
Fifita gee if he keeps that up he will be playing 1st grade in no time ,very impressive
Ray great carries looks like George going for the line
Fletcher some nice touches
Trevor looking much more comfortable
Jake Toby a little gravel and diamnonds but alot of potential
GKCT revelation might be too big a word, but gee once those Souffs guys tired a bit unstoppable and then running the FRs onto ball really well
Johns looks ok ,I dont know if he can keep it up all season but some really nice touches and only one or two errors
Fainu lookinh good ,not as good as Fifita but still good
Zac busy which is what you want from a back rower
Probably missed a few but anyway ,lets hope we can go on with it and no injuries

GKCT impressed me last year. He has vision and is a genuine threat out of dummy half. Plus he knows how to attract defenders and bring the forwards onto the ball. He biggest weakness is obviously his defence which he can work on but he is pretty good with ball in hand. Much more selective with his passing game and not as predictable as Crocker. His combination with dce, shuster and Turbo could really be effective

 

[The Royal Soup]

Fifita hasn't had a lot of minutes but he is the pressure our established props need. He's looked great!

 

[The Royal Soup]

CKT need to play first grade, he is better than Croker

 

[Eagles4Life]

Come on!

 

[The Royal Soup]

Ah yes, the soft Manly defence strikes

 

[Eagles4Life]

Come on!

Good call.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Correct decision thankfully

 

[deanm]

Not too keen on the Pointsbet logo in red and black tbh

 

[JenEagle]

GCKT has first grade written all over him. I love Croker however I would be playing this guy in round one. Absolute genuine hooker. His service is phenomenal

 

[ALinda]

Despite all the doom & gloom on here when Cooper Johns arrived, I'm impressed with him so far. Not harming his chances of a contract.

Burbo's bulked up in the off season which is a good move.
