Pre-Game Manly v Dragons [Round 18, 2021]

[Brissie Kid]

I see Ben Hunt has struck career top form this week. He will need to be sent a lot of traffic to tire him out & keep him quiet if Manly are to win.

Manly seat cushion sounds nice and comfortable feathered friend

Let us not take Manly out of it because I was referring to the Manly raiders match feathered friend

Fair enough.

Okay so you dont think being without Tom, Jake, DCE and Schuster affected the teams performance?

The raiders were missing their markee English half . Their NSW 5/8 , Their top prop in papali
Their starting fullback out for the season and we were favourites to beat them on our home ground but the raiders rose to the occasion and we failed to the occasion

Not to mention that Elliott Whitehead was out also

I'm not saying that is an out for a loss but to say no excuses it is not a factor is madness

Not to mention they are a team in turmoil on the bottom of the table who could not manage a win in their last 5 games .

But they turned up on the day and gave it to us

I do not think you are getting my point feathered friend
My point is...
Excuses do not win games . Resilient players that can rise above adversity do .

I get your point but it only works to an extent.

Resilience in itself cannot do the job all the time

A win agains the dragqueens is a minute area of importance in the grand scheme of our finals hopes & potential title tilt.

It would be pretty foolish to play Tom, and very foolish to play him for 80.

We should have enough attack in DCE, Schuster, Walker off bench, Garrick & Saab to get some points & beat the dragons. If we can’t without Tom we are ****ed anyways

Foz has more zing than most mentioned…

 

[Jerry1]

Geez you're a whinger.

I get it, all your dislikes are to get my attention to let me know you're displeased with me liking someone else's post you considered "bullying".

Stop being such a sook & I'll debate with you, continue acting like a petulant child & hiding behind your hackneyed "play the ball not the man" mantra & passively aggressively using team selection discussions as a front for having a go & this will be the last reply you receive from me.

In short, grow up & stop being so sensitive.

Cheers.

He’s right though..

This means Sipley must be right to go

 

[mickqld]

Fuk me Suli again. Seriously Des is kidding. Garrick to fullback another failure. This has disaster written all over it again. Dragoons x 12.

 

[Mitch]

This means Sipley must be right to go

Surprisingly, yes! Very happy to have him coming off the bench.

If we can bounce back tomorrow and then have both Jame and Tom back the following week (and Aloiai would be getting very close), we’re in a reasonable spot.

 

[Go manly]

One game mate, but boy, what a game! It's just that everything went that right that game. In all the other matches I've seen him play there, I've always thought, surely we have better backup.

Regarding Lawton versus Croker starting. Games going to be won up the middle. Lawton is crisper and more dynamic in both attach and defense. He's played a learnt Hooker. Dragons have a big pack.

Lachy is the perfect utility. He can now play both halves and hooking positions. It also allows Walker to not be wasted on the bench. You want him on the park. That said, your bench looks great. Not gonna lie, your whole team make-up looks really good.

I wonder how the players would feel about dropping Crocker after not missing a game this year

 

[40 nil]

I would rather see Funa on the wing instead of Suli. His defence is stronger & he is good under the high ball. If given good ball, he will finish a movement. (It seems Des is giving Suli the chance to regain confidence, but in the short term, this may be to the team's detriment).

 

[Luke_m]

If Suli plays we will struggle he offers nothing his too lazy and slow !! Funa can catch and finish that’s what we need
