[Ralphie]

Cows by 50, Barrett to select the same team next week too.

 

[The Eagle Eye]

My head says Cowboys 14+.
My heart says Manly 200+.

 

[Fluffy]

can't believe he hasn't picked Marty and AFB this week as well.

What is he thinking

 

[SeaEagle9413]

I don't think it will be anything like this like this:

We will try hard, but if we have a lack of possession we will crumble. Cowboys by 16.

I really hope I'm wrong but just can't see us having a chance this week.

Need Jackson Hastings at hooker ASAP

 

[nightster]

Boy we miss willy army

 

[Bringbackdes]

Frank winterstein is NOT a first grade player 83 metres in two weeks. Please!!! We have zero go forward without Marty and AFB

I hope (and pray) when Lussick, AFB & Taupau return next week, it makes Winterstein redundant.

[Mark from Brisbane]

JT is out for the Cowboys, not Thurston the other one.

Ponga is fullback!

Yep, might want to add a little "anything but brown" in there too, give Cullen, Hastings or even another bloody forward a chance, this whole utility thing hasn't really done us much favours over the years with our pack failing most often due to fatigue. Hey I got a plan, it involves this man.. Oh Gorgeous George my first and only man crush

brown being anywhere near the first side is a joke... im guessing youve just accepted fate though haha, being that no matter how poor he performs he will always have a spot on the bench each game

 

[Mataiforever]

can't wait to see taupau fonua blake and lussick back. this will give me hope. with them back, we actually have a quality starting pack.
8 lussick
9 hastings / koroisau
10 lawrence
11 taupau
12 sironen
13 trbojevic

14 cullen / hastings
15 fonua blake (massive impact off the bench... deserves a lot of minutes)
16 winterstein (feel like off the bench he will be forced to have a crack and this could go well)
17 bainbridge / lane / anyone who sticks their hand up this weekend

also hastings somewhere in the 17 would be good for goal kicking duties... also, can cullen kick by any chance?

 

[maxta]

Love to see Hastings get a go - guarantee he will add plenty of enthusiasm....Uate ripped in to help the forwards early last week and along with Taufua...will really need this on Saturday all game.
Ponga is a young freak but would like to see him bustled at every opportunity.... this does not include the Lewis Brown facial.
Get up on Thurston and Morgan early....given time they will take the game out of range quickly.
If Myles can play up to Lawrence, almost perfect first 15 minutes last week....would be most helpful to give any real sight....earn respect from his team when most needed.

Agree 100%,how the fark does brown still get a jersey is farking behond me,this bloke should be put out ,bring in Hastings why the fark sign him if you don't play the bloke,I've just about had enough of this bull**** make shift side,get some players who want to farkin bleed maroon and white,until he does as a coach were farked,now as a supporter who pays is well earned membership dollars,get it done or lose me next year simple,I hope you people upstairs read these angry fans,cause without our support your farked,45 years as a fan and I've never seen such disfunction so early into a season,I'm angry cause my beloved Eagles Are not the Eagles I know,there I've had my say,I'm hoping that other fans feel the same way as I do.

 

[ALinda]

Hope the team gets to Townsville sooner rather than later to acclimatise. Max. 26 degrees in Sydney, whereas 33 degrees up there.

Really wish Hastings is in the 17 as we will need his goalkicking at least. Go Manly!

 

[Kevinward777]

Lewis Brown, one of the most inimitable players to ever wear our jersey. Why can't anyone but Trent see this?

At the moment with all our injury issues he does not have many options Kevin

[winnyason]

Yeap it's northern eagles all over again. What type of production from the gun second row sironen class rename the Phantom. While I look forward to more comedy defence from Dylan walker is he as good as Kevin mcguiness.
I most look forward to the hooker who can't pass that disjoints everything time and time again

 

[Waz13]

Why is he persisting with brown and Cullen?? It makes no sense get another forward in there. Lewis is barely a utility these days he must be dropped for someone fron blactown.
