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

[Cameron]

Your old fave Reading the Play is predicting we'll make the 8. Surprisingly, since he's not a Manly fan from what I can gather.

We are screwed this is the same bloke who said snake was going to Canberra in 2014 as sure as nihht follows day.

 

[Will on the hill]

Possibly , who would you drop for him ??

Bully

 

[The Who]

Very sensible selections. Boldy is getting everything correct, so far.

 

[40 nil]

When all players are available later in the year, a full team (IMO) would include Saab (instead of Tuipulotu), Schuster, Gordon & Lawton (lock or bench) with Weekes repacing Parker (centre or wing).

I agree with all except parker he's so underrated.

In all honesty I'd like to see Gordo pushing froggy for the starting hooker spot come seasons end.

Poor frog he looked absolutely pooped by the end of last season.

If the NRL has listed Gordon at 22, then doesn't that mean he's registered in the 30??
If so Weekes to the centres, Gordon to 14.

Interesting point

 

[John92]

Love a few things suspect about others
Really like Jake at prop and keppie at 13

Weeks at 14 to start his career is a must has to be in side for mine

I thought fifta deserved a chance and sipley on the bench

Bully was a suprise and Ben was strong however thought the 2 above played there way ahead

Other than that looks good carn eagles 🦅

 

[bob dylan]

Geez its an ordinary 17.

If Seibold does any good with this side he could well be the new Jack Gibson.

 

[Seagles68]

Little bit surprised both Bully and Ben T named on bench. Lacking a bit of size however maybe coaching staff want to play a more mobile style. Sips unlucky to miss out for Aloiai.

Yeah, I was surprised to see both of them as well. Like Paseka and Bulle, it's time for Ben to show us what he's got.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Yep , can’t blame the journos I guess but coach Seibold confirmed on radio “ top 30 for 2024, can be used after round 11 with NRL dispensation due to injuries”.

[winnyason]

No real surprises would of liked to see young Fifita in there

 

[WiseyEagle]

Try out Burbo early in the first few rounds? If he doesn't cut the mustard after round 3, other options can be explored?

Well mate, I simply typed what he said , on national radio , so you can’t blame me for that can you ??

As far as i understand, he was moved into to top 30 after our second trial 👍

 

[Buughes]

Gordon is clearly in the top 30 or he wouldn’t be 22 on the reserves. Would have been nice to see both weekes and Gordon in the 17. Weekes either replacing Parker or Christian with Gordon on the bench at 14 but I guess they just see weekes as 14, so only chance for Gordon is with an injury to Crocker :/

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

sensational my old mate Mark

And secondly , at player 22 he can’t play so is he just listed so he can be included in “ the experience “ ???

Your call

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

As far as i understand, he was moved into to top 30 after our second trial 👍

Seibold said on the SEN radio station up here “ he’s been elevated to the top 30 for 2024 but remains a development player for 2023, meaning we can’t use him until round 11”.

That’s word for word !!!
