Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round 18, 2022]

[Snake]

Ponga master class will have our weak outside defense fumbling and bumbling all arvo. DCE puts the cue in the rack for the year now he's done his job for the moroons and it's back to the real estate adds pages. Knights by 10.

I hope our players have a bit more belief...

I see the reserve grade is televised from 12.30 pm.
We’ll get lapped again.
But I will once again ask why we don’t play these players (listed below. Thanks @Jethro )
How do they get any experience, fitness, sitting in the stands? I know I harp on this continually. But check out the Knights forward pack. All but one without first grade experience. They’ve got Lachlan Fitzgibbon in there FFS.


Available But Not Selected:

• Brad Parker
• James Roumanos
• Viliami Fifita
• Alec Tuitavake
• Zac Fulton
• Jamie Humphreys - Development Player
• Jacob Sykes - Development Player
• Gordon Chan Kum Tong - Development Player.

***Ok, I just went back to double check. And in the time I wrote the above to now, De Luis, Paseka, and Bullemor have been added. No Parker though or anyone from the above list.
‘Maybe if I check back at 12pm, it’ll change again?

Parker has a broken hand feathered friend

So paeska is playing reserves

Sorry but why does tank get dropped he was just starting to show some form.

I would prefer him there as well mate, but I guess it’s a case of us winning 3 of our last 4, including last round against the Storm, so it’s hard to drop those from a winning team.

In reality he only came back in last game because Josh was out.

Again, I don’t agree with it. I’d have him there over Sean.

Wow. Dessie really does have his favourites. Dropping Paseka after his form was good last time. Drives me nuts.

 

[wombatgc]

Now it’s Newcastle playing games. Massive reshuffle to both their reserve grade and 1st grade squads. Looks like O’brien is playing last minute Dessie mind games.

Ridiculous selection.

I don't get it either I would be starting him with Josh A as our starting props.

Let's hope this decision doesn't come back to bite us and keppie has a blinder.

 

[davohan123]

I don't care how we do it but this a must win game for us today.

This will be closer than people think margin maybe 8 points either way.

At least he’s running him in Reserves. Better than being named #18/#19 and sitting on your arse.
Defiantly watching the reserves now, to see if Paseka gives Des a big FU by blitzing it on the field.

Yep agree he and bully are going to be interesting to see how they play.

Tank has done all he can to be picked in first grade and yet still misses out.

Hard to understand, his minutes against the storm we’re pretty good I thought.

 

[Eagle 1]

Think Des has put Keepie and Marty on notice now, true to form Des doesn't like dropping players from a last start wins. Mediocre games by either player will see Paseka in like Flynn next game.

AND they put him up for player media during the week. Would be really messing with his head unless Hasler told him earlier.
