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

[mickqld]

Still no Jake , yep that's our injury department assessment at it's best again. Ben T out of the 21 but those plodders Suli and Gosiewski are still in there. God give me strength. Des has decided the old tried and failed method will still work.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Interesting team named. Sipley and Tom surely will not play? Jake still out sucks!

Dragons have named pretty much their strongest side available?

 

[Nordburg]

If Sipley doesn’t play,which nobody has much of an idea what his story is,that bench will be very lightweight.Can’t imagine TomT playing so I’m worried the Dragons hoodoo will continue

 

[Ryan]

They'll galvanise too. Des still playing silly buggars with the lineup. Club still messing up the return dates. Same old.

 

[Snake]

Hilarious article with the headline "Decimated Dragons Name Barely Recognisable Squad" and I click on their team list and it's the best side they've named in weeks?! WTF?

I actually think we could easily go down in this game. They will be fired up to prove the haters wrong. Danger game.

 

[Woodsie]

Dessie probably waiting to see who Dragons named before finalising the side ...

Des is .....ugh I don't know what to say. The loss against the struggling injury ravaged Raiders at home (flogging) was on him.

He's getting worse.

If Sippers is out there is only one prop named on the bench or in the 21 squad, Kurt DeLuxe.
I wonder why Burbo is out of favour?

Dufty, Fuimaono and Ellis serving suspensions while available. Lomax and Alvaro out also. Pretty close to full strength considering their circumstances.

Burbo clearly not up to the standard of Suli and Gosiewski.........fuk me dead Des. Just baffling.

The team is in trouble if he’s classed as a prop.

 

[Remy]

Interesting with Sipley. Might just be named coz we are undermanned in the front row department at the moment and he's going to be late swap with Jetski which is super annoying. Because it looked like a very serious injury.

 

[Karshy]

I find it interesting that they have 4 players in the reserves in that squad that could potentially be cut in favour of the players who have a suspension over their head. I thought the players with suspensions over their heads could only play because otherwise the Dragons wouldnt have been able to field a 17?

Still really should win this one. Covid and bloody origin is really messing with our season tho. Turned our run of home games v mediocre teams under favourable circumstances into 50/50 games in front of no crowd or neutral crowds in Qld. Just gotta win this one. We owe these guys gig time!

 

[Scorpio]

On the plus side, Schuster is back

The whole process and management of the dragons situation is beyond laughable. All those guys should be in 14 days quarantine. If they had to forfeit and TV rip the NRL for breech of contract then perhaps St George compensate it.

Good to see shoe back. Too bad no Jake thou.

Crowds are uncapped. We have a pretty big following in SEQ, and CBus is like a home game where we have 80-90% of the support. Also fast dry surfaces that suit us.

Dragons full strength as they can get , they know we are vulnerable.

Seriously no Ben T
Jack G will come in for toff
No jake.. again our club lied about his return.
Turbo won't back up.

Seriously even with DCE Josh S back dragons are favourites for this.. they will come out firing.

Seriously season defining game right here.
