[Freddo]

Edgar ( Britt )

Ha , had a good one of them this morning.

On the Edgar Alan Poe?

On the Edgar Alan Poe?

did that once.....

never more

 

[The Who]

With Cust out though injury we will have to take a punt on Foran and try to nurse him through the 80 minutes. It's a big ask but we have no other seasoned first grader who can fill the role.
The Shoe is a certainty for 5/8.

 

[Red Pill]

Maybe chez could play hooker. With Foran and schuster in the halves.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Birt looked better then cust and sione. Gave us good direction and we looked like we knew what was going on once he came on

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Cust , broken thumb apparently , not sure on how long out but you’d have to say 8-12 weeks

Season has not started and already we have 2 players out injured for the first month of the comp. :-(

Spine players as well ,could'nt be a couple of Benchie's

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Worry warts. We'll roll the Chooks in Round 1, Croker hooker, Foz starting at 5/8, Schuster off the bench, they won't know what hit them.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Lachlan Croker has not suffered a hamstring injury and will be good to go in Rd.1.

Thanks for the info, Snake, but I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news.

 

[The better Robbo]

From Snakes report above, Croker will be fit... So maybe Croker and Foz share 9 and Schuster to 5/8? It really becomes a problem if we have another injury to a spine player. I said in another thread but after today its even more evident we need to add an experienced NRL hooker to our books.

Thanks for the info, Snake, but I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news.

After today's trial its definitely good news!

New to forum long time reader, and supporter, every family member a Manly member(for Bozo).

Thoughts on hooker, I thought Birt looked good given limited time, looked fit and strong, straightened up attack, solid direct pass, and challenged the ruck. Didn’t see much on defence, however looks better than our other options.

Welcome on board Franko .

Great to hear that you and your lovely family proudly support our legendary club from the heart .

Thank you for your Inspirational and passionate club membership support and I hope that you can inspire other Manly fans reading your post as well

I did not see todays trial game due to shift work and have just read comments from all the Silvertails on here

Schuster domination and a stand out performance in his only second NRL game makes you wonder just how good he can become . If only the other young players made half the contribution as what he did we would not be beaten by the biggest score line in the trials .

The dominant players that were missing in the first half were DCE , Jake , Walker , Fainu and Tom who are the Guns that fire a team up and the Glue that hold a team together so we should not feel discouraged from what our team is really capable against the Roosters in game one .

DES confirms Croker will be the Rd 1 hooker

So its likely Schuster will wear 14.
Cust seems like he may not have been there anyway. Interesting to see how Des uses his rotation. How strange that we are now hoping Croker is fit to play after today's performance I think Croker will impress a few doubters on here.

 

[pjayz]

Des talked about the seven players rested (which includes Olakau’atu) and said the only one of those seven not coming straight into the side is Tom. Hopefully that means Olakau’atu is in the 17.
