Injured crew. Who comes in?

[manlyfan76]

• Curtis Sironen (knee, round 7-8)
• Morgan Boyle (shoulder, TBA)
• Moses Suli (back, round 9)
• Dylan Walker (hamstring, round 10-12)
• Karl Lawton (Achilles, round 11-12)
• Jack Gosiewski (foot, round 17)
• Andrew Davey (knee, season)
• Manase Fainu (stood down, indefinite)

 

[JakeyB789]

None of them except Fainu if he somehow gets off

 

[manlyfan76]

Of those injured i think only the hookers Karl and Fainu are high on my list.
Maybe walker takes Funa spot on the bench.

 

[Damien2812]

For me Fainu and Lawton since both are genuine hookers. Walker back to centre with Parker back to Blacktown

 

[Chip and Chase]

You just know that as soon as Siro, Suli and Walker are fit Des will bring them back. It's a given.

No disrespect to Siro but I'm hoping that maybe his injury is a little worse than first thought and it takes a couple of more weeks to come good. It'd be great to see how this current team goes over the next couple of weeks, especially against the Panthers. If they can put on a good show over these next two rounds it may give Des pause for thought about selections

 

[Kalvin]

Fainu yes, walker maybe...I would throw davey back in next year also and get rid of jetski, sirro, Boyle and suli

 

[Evo]

If they keep winning, none. (aside from injury)
You don't change a winning team.
Momentum and consistent structure are everything in team sports.

 

[manlyfan76]

Keep this team together till origin one june 9 (round 13?).

 

[The better Robbo]

Siro will come in the 17 for Sipley when fit.
At full strength Davey, Fainu Walker and Lawton all in.
Suli and Parker the Blacktown centre pairing as depth cover.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

For me Fainu and Lawton since both are genuine hookers. Walker back to centre with Parker back to Blacktown

Parker was never from Ebonytown. He is a Manly junior and long may he remain in first grade.

 

[JakeyB789]

You never want to wish injury on anyone but you’re lying to yourself if you don’t think these ones have made us better

 

[winnyason]

• Curtis Sironen (knee, round 7-8)
• Morgan Boyle (shoulder, TBA)
• Moses Suli (back, round 9)
• Dylan Walker (hamstring, round 10-12)
• Karl Lawton (Achilles, round 11-12)
• Jack Gosiewski (foot, round 17)
• Andrew Davey (knee, season)
• Manase Fainu (stood down, indefinite)

Suli can't weight to watch someone not use there winger and leave gaps in defensive line

 

[pjayz]

Definitely:
Fainu
Davey
Lawton

Depends on what the plans are long term for Walker. I would like to see him actually play his proper position and see how he goes. He and Harper could be a good pairing.

I can’t see Des keeping both Suli and Walker next year though. I think one will go. Walker is off contract and Suli is not earning his keep but some team will want him.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Lawton is a hooker , Croker isn’t!!

Fainu of course but he could be playing for the Silverwater Demons not the Manly Silvertails.

I’d bet Sirronen comes straight back in , and Walker would replace Harper under Des’s choices.

Unfortunately i think you are right.

 

[manlyfan76]

We could only be missing DCE, jake and turbo for origin.

You’re right - must be close to a million tied up in those two...

 

[Disco]

Des will put Sirro straight back as a starter.

Id personally bring him onto the bench for Toff

 

[skull61]

Would leave Sironen at Blacktown not good enough and too slow these days. I like Sipley and he should be a permanent fixture in the 17
