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

[Woodsie]

Nathanial Roach ... Morgan Boyle .. and Karl Lawton all named to play .. for Blacktown ..

So much for the reports of Boyle being out indefinitely and Lawton still injured

 

[mickqld]

Jake to prop I like it. Kaeo on bench. Good line-up. Sipps out.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

And Gordie named as player 22

Obviously won’t get a start , but WTF is going on with the top 30

Pretty much as I expected it, Keppie lock , Jake & Pillow the props , weekes at 14.

Bench no surprises

 

[mickqld]

Bullemore was good in the trials hope he has a big year. Not a big bench but fast and mobile.

 

[Pepi]

The reports of Fifita having covid must be on the money. Not in reserve grade either.

 

[MW66]

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.

A sign of things to come I’d say

Rd 1 Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles team vs Bulldogs

Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles Coach Greg Boulous has named his team for the opening round of the NSW Cup on Saturday, March 4.

I'm surprised that Lawton & Roache have been selected

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Please answer me , how can Gordie be listed , if he’s not top 30??

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I'm surprised that Lawton & Roache have been selected

Selections of Fulton, Boyle & Fainu indicates they won't be in the NRL team

I thought Lawton wasn’t due back until May ?

 

[Bloke on the hill]

Like to see Weekes get a fair opportunity to cement a spot in the top 13.

 

[The Admiral]

The team list has dropped. Most interesting is Gordon CKT in the reserves. So much for not being eligible to play.

 

[mutley]

Bullemore and ben t offer a lot of options on the bench in regards to injury cover plus what they can bring into the game, i cant see them taking to the field 1 to 17 so someone will be in and out i feel

 

[Will on the hill]

Please answer me , how can Gordie be listed , if he’s not top 30??

I suspect it's just to get him used to being in and around the first grade squad with a view to him being played later in the season. Seibold himself has stated that he cannot play till round 11.

Team mostly as expected with Sipley unlucky to be omitted. Hopefully, both Bullemor & Aloiai can be impactful off the bench

 

[Will on the hill]

Bad luck for Fifita, reckon he'd be there if he hadn't gotten ill.
