Pre-Game Manly v Bulldogs [Round 1, 2023]

[Mark from Brisbane]

If he has an exemption to play then maybe nobody needs to be dropped from the 30?

No , I think he’s in the 30.

How ……?????

 

[The Wheel]

Max Krilich isn’t able to play, so Gordy gets an exemption

He is not top 30 at all this year. Exception to play this round. And then club needs to apply for each round if want to play.

 

[jbb/james]

is croker injured currently Or
So if he has a 1 round exemption, expect him to play.
or is it an exemption to be 18th man

manly should release a statement otherwise with the bye in round 2 its going to be crazy . One has to wonder if des is still pulling the strings, he would love this ****

 

[DSM5]

My main concern is Tippytoes being run around by JAC, and whether he can catch bombs coming his way. I think he's the weak link in our backline. Not a great fan.

I wish the club would announce what the **** is going on as there’s about 7000 different opinions on this !!

Trust me this is from the ‘club’

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So who has been dropped from the 30 to accommodate???

So it’s just an exemption, he’s not actually in the 30???

This makes the most sense .

 

[Kalvin]

So he isn't playing unless Crocker is injured in the warm up is what I'm taking out of this?

 

[Sheikheagle]

Yep Lawton is not ready for firsts so Gordon is the next one up if not available

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yep Lawton is not ready for firsts so Gordon is the next one up if not available

Well the fact he is named suggests to me that has an issue , and they are playing ducks and drakes to take the pressure off the kid.

I reckon he might play.

 

[eaglebuzz]

The NRL.com list doesn't even have 30 players in our top 30

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So he isn't playing unless Crocker is injured in the warm up is what I'm taking out of this?

Or already injured and they are just taking the pressure off the kid only announcing it an hour before the game.

 

[NREagle]

Sounds like a Des move....

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Sounds like a Des move....

It does , but I actually get it if that’s what’s happening, the pressure on him would be immense.
