Matt did have a hip injury in pre season.
Lets share the love to all those representing Manly

Hope you are Wright
Sorry but cannot help think we will have our pants pulled down on Saturday, especially now we’ve lost the power of Horhay’s metre gaining runs.
I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

Really tough game to pick. I’m normally on the optimist side, but so many variables in this one. As Baz said, it is an attitude thing. So, I’ll tip a 20-20 draw.
I’m hoping that Stick person has lost his dressing room and they have lost the fight after the 0-3 start.
Dry weather at least that suits us, and now down to the forwards to at least match or dominate to compensate for our backline deficiencies.

Wait, you mean we've got a game to think about this week as well? Hope the players can drown out all the noise and focus on the game at hand.
Canberra will be very dangerous. We jagged a couple of wins against them last season but the games were always in the balance.

I'd say Turbo and Kelly are better than Wighton and Leilua. They still beat our backline but only just.
Uate can do some good metre gains from our end .... & sometimes without dropping the ball
Without Horhays metres ( and with Wright who is pedestrian at best), Raiders by plenty!
Raiders smashed up front, Turbo who is starting to bark orders more, ties things up at the back and shall cut 'em to shreds on the back of some slick dce/crocker moves.
Manly by plenty!

Wighton is hit or miss, but on his day I reckon Leilua is one of the most damaging centres in the game. Let's just hope it's not his day.
With any luck last week's abject performance and the salary cap distraction will serve to galvanise our players. But there's always the chance it could go the other way. In any case, Canberra won't want to lose four in a row and we'll need a complete performance to win.

Good, tip the Raiders.

Why wouldn't you just have Hastings at 5/8?

Heard that too....
Fair enough giving Hastings a shot , but would have thought 5/8 with API staying at hooker...
Anyways, hope it works well.
I wonder if Croker will go to the bench or get dropped completely and they will bring in Tom Wright as utility
