Game Day: Knights v Manly [Round 12, 2021]

[TimmyQ]

My prediction! Parker to move in one spot to 5/8, Jorge or Funa to come in to left centre.
Will be a bit odd either way but we don't want to change our fullback, right side or dummy half after its taken all this time to get them running smoothly.
We'll still win, subject to some dodgy send-offs.

Mate Parker has been shining like the rest of them lately. I think common sense will prevail and they'll not weaken one position to weaken another. Lawton seems more logical imo

 

[Red Pill]

Team doesn't have to be finalised until 3pm

Regardless Zorb is a bloody idiot either way. IF it is true why leak it.

Well .. prior to the leak the Knights knew exactly who was playing where ... after the leak we have had 372 suggestions and 137 statements from people on here that know the team intimately .. ALL of them different ...

Therefore I would suggest the Knights know a lot less now than they did before the leak ..

PSS .. I apologise if I have in some way interupted the I hate Zorba narrative ..

 

[mave]

Lawton to 6 please.
Least disruption.

Just play a simple hand off game, and let Tommy loose.

God, I hate to type that.
We are a 1 man team at the best of times, at the moment, but we start to look very, very light without the Shu and Foran.

DCE has shown time and time again that he gets shut down way too easily when he is the only playmaker.

Sorry, are you thinking just defensively or are you saying you believe Parker will actually play 5/8?

 

[Mataiforever]

I would put Tommy into the 6 and Garrick back there, giving Tuipulotu his proper debut.

 

[court83]

Not a bad day to get wet lads

 

[ManlyTragic]

Just waiting for our old mate Braith to confirm it and then it will be true

But he’s just going to say ... Peters told Sterling who told me that burbos playing .... so I’m tell you!

Somehow I don’t think Zorb is that smart. The knights finding out one of our best players is out will only boost their morale earlier than needed.
PS. I have never criticised Zorba before so I am certainly not aware of any narrative I need to align with. Just calling it how I see it.

would be interesting to see how Jorge would go at centre

 

[pjayz]

I can only think it will be either Tom or Lawton moving to the six.

Croker is another option; however, I don't think Des will mess with that. Left field is Funa, I recall him playing there in the lower grades as a fill in at one point but only briefly.

Jorge has dropped out along with Siro so we won't see him.

Sorry .. the Zorba narrative comment wasn't meant for you specifically ..

.. and no .. Zorba probably didn't sew confusion deliberately .. but then again he has been doing team management and media for 50 years, so I reckon he has learnt a trick or two ..

 

[Bearfax]

So OK. Still dont know what happened to The Shoe. Laces broken or something?

Tripped over at training ... wasn't looking where he was going ..

 

[court83]

Didn't realise tim Simona played for Blacktown.. just scored to go up 12-0

 

[40 years an eagle]

I'm guessing anyone would be allowed to sub in after a warm-up injury to a 17 player.

 

[Briza]

Upper hamstring/thigh

Trying out the no look run

Possibly, unless we are already carrying someone in that position (as in centres) which we are with Funa and Suli?
