Manly v Canberra. Pre-Game discussion. (Rd 4 2018)

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.

What a crock - as if we'd play one of the front running Origin hookers at 5/8 when we have Jacko. If that happens that's just an insult to both players. Jacko can kick and manage the game to free up Cherry. Looks like both teams are playing funny buggers imo

Absolutely... to do that would be potentially weakening two positions. Ludicrous.

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

I would but they aren't.

 

[brad]

Hope its not a knee jerk decision.

 

[TimmyQ]

Quite frankly all Croker has shown us is that hes a solid defender. Ordinary passing game, fairly non existent running game and an ordinary and very spasmodic kicker. If TB is ditching the Croker gamble he should ply his trade in reggies. There are better options for the bench.

 

[Class of 96]

If Baz has had the balls to drop Croker, after dropping Brown along with the other changes that were made, then he has really turned a corner from the past 2 years.

Either that or he is hanging his reputation on relying on the sage advice from Silvertails each week.

Ive heard croker dropped this week and also hearing lewis brown might follow lussick out very soon

That would be fantastic if Brown was to go..Have you heard anything about who Baz will bring onto the bench to replace Hastings?

 

[Kevinward777]

With the way some of the boys are playing in NSW Cup, you’d think a couple might get promoted to replace Lussick and Brown. And I’d be saving a position for Suli, because the boy is an absolute gun when he’s got his head on.

 

[Nordburg]

I’m sure it was only last week Barrett was telling media that they can lay off Croker now after his game against Eels.

 

[Kevinward777]

I just hope that if Croker gets dropped it doesn’t pave the way for Brown to get his hands back on the 14.

 

[Bubbler]

Great news if true.

I would be seething if I was DCE. He was receiving hospitals passes from Croker the whole game and everyone turns around and puts the spotlight on Cherry as the ten million a year dud.

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

The change to 5/8 may mean that Api wont get selected for NSW - happy days.

Hopefully Tom Wright for some X factor

Croker may still be on bench

Sack Barrett NFI

Cheers mate.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Oh that’s right there’s a football game this weekend!!

 

[Chip and Chase]

On 7 news that Hastings to 9 , Api to 6 and Croker dropped . It looks like ..

Can't say I'm a fan of that plan. The only thing I can think is they want Api's defence on our left to shut down Leipana

 

[Supreme Leader]

I'm expecting us to be penalised out of the game, bet you we get picked for several forward passes from dummy half. Thinking several wrong play the balls.
Hope the guys anticipate this!
