Jorge Taufua plays his 129th first grade game, all on the wing.

Reuben Garrick plays his 5th NRL game and like Jorge, they've all been on the wing.

I’ve picked us in the footy tipping Comp , I went against us last week.

I’m thinking about changing it to ensure a victory.

Whilst I think we’ve learnt how to grind out a win I’m worried about the home ground advantage , and the Knights have been getting big crowds.

Not going to be easy.
 
Think that Manly will have a real fight on their hands this afternoon to get the better of the knights but after last week "s epic win and the way they turned up for each other and held their nerve, must be in with a real good shot to get the result again . Even with Tom out , Manly have a lot going for them right now , the back row was particularly good last week , A F B terrific , Marty good , A P I and Fauni very effective , D C E playing like a premier half again , the rest of the backs solid , the bench really good also .. Can"t see any particular reason why they can not continue their recent winning form but again i am sure that the Knights will be up for it today . Fine achievement for D C E on his 200 th appearance, naturally hope that he can have a big one today to mark the occasion . Three wins in a row definitely on the cards for the Sea Eagles , been a while since this has occurred, and great if they can come away with the win today . Go Manly and dig deep again .
 
Sitting at the table of fond memories this morning I was asked how we would go today .... and I've got nothing .... I don't know ...... can't get a gut feel either way ...... weird ..
 
I've lived in newy for 29 years, and today's the first game I'm going to since 97 to see us play the knight's here... Pity turbo went down... 50/50 game for mine, tipped many but with 0 confidence..

My baby's 5 weeks old, figure he's over due a trip to the footy lol
 
QUESTION: If Lachlan Croker was listed this year as a Developmental Player, how is it that he is being short listed today for a potential appearance in first grade

He was brought into the Full Time squad to replace Kelly
