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

[Shoe1]

Wonder if cust is any chance of playing with a needle or something.

 

[Ryan]

Why are we having muscle strains or tears at training ffs? Cust, now Schuster? Warm up better ! Mitigate this **** !

Who's running this operation?

 

[manly al]

Club legend?
In his own (very extensive) lunchtime maybe.

Give Zorba a break [ extended ] , surely you are not going to deny him an extra helping of Greek salad

 

[Budgie]

The thing is, there wouldn't have been any training this morning so, at the very least, happened in the captain's run yesterday. Des has had time to get everything in place. Also I'm sure the Knights would like to thank Zorba for the early heads up.

Yep, what an absolute bonehead if true - must have been thinking of the punters.

Still can bet on Shu at Sportsbet for today’s game?

He did tip us for the wooden spoon a short time back. Hopefully, his mail regarding Schuster proves to be just as accurate. I'm also wearing a tin foil hat these days - could the Schuster mail be a classic Desmond furphy?

And our odds for the win are still the same.

I feel like zorba reports bad news for manly with relish these days.

With mustard, relish, and cheese sauce.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Funa to fullback and Tom to 6 could be a good option.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Maybe he’s on the outer these days ??

Who’d a thought!

 

[Shoe1]

Least disruption the better for mine. Keep croker at dummy half, Jake at 13 linking everyone. Possibly Lawton at 6. Tom chimes in on that side all the time anyway.

 

[manlyfan76]

Can we sign Blake green for one game 🙂

 

[jbb/james]

i wonder if des would play tom at 6 and move morgan lyons to fullback.

i’m still confident we will be get the win

Maybe we could just expect DCE to have the same impact on the game as schuster did last week.

We have the best player in the game at fullback and the qld and australian halfback. If he could just play a consistent halfback game we should be able to roll the knights

Andrew johns used to get by with backrowers at 6. Was it rudder

 

[manly al]

Not to divert too much from current footy matters but Zorba would be doing it pretty tough at present with the loss of Bob Fulton and being a life long mate with him . Life and footy issues and opinions goes on of course but certainly have sympathies for Zorba right now in losing a real good mate .

 

[gomanly]

I like the Funa to FB and Tommy to 6 option otherwise it would be croker to 6, Lawton to 9 and Benny Turbo to debut?

Was it Sean or Shaun Rudder , think that he was the 6 when the Knights won the 2001 title . Looks like it could be Croker , Lawton or even Keighton today ,can "t think of too many other options . Harper is a good all round player but positional play and maybe a part kicking game as a 6 would have to a consideration of course

Sure that any option is worth considering but would lose a lot of attacking options if Tom was moved from one and Croker knows or is familiar with the set plays if he takes the role of 6 .

 

[manlyfan76]

Lawton used to play in the half's.
He might surprise a few.
