Happy with that side.

Interested to see Humphreys in firsts.

Go Manly.

This Jamie Humphries stuff is pretty bizarre. Two weeks ago according to Seibold there was no one there to play half...and yet now there is?

Seibold's obviously seen the writing on the wall and realised if he wants that extension he needs to play the best people in their position, regardless if they've signed elsewhere, to win those winnable games. The bunnies experiment was a massive failure.

I think not running a rookie halfback in a spine that already was Hopoate, Brooks, and Simpkin was probably a good idea. That game would've been the worst possible time to make a debut. Home, Brookie, next to a bodyguard second-rower, fired up by being dropped from Origin, with Turbo captaining the team, can't get much better than that.

EDIT: Is Humphreys leaving to the Rabbits even confirmed by either club?

 

[stoodamire]

Congrats Turbo on the captaincy.

 

[manlyfan76]

Bench is about light on.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Pretty good side.

It would be nice to see Brad Parker coming off the bench at some stage.

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Turbo back at FB? Whyyyyyy

 

[Eagle 1]

Bench is about light on.

Think Navale will be a late inclusion, Gordie to miss out.

 

[Kalvin]

Turbo back at FB? Whyyyyyy

I don't get it?! Only assuming it may be strategic to get knights to focus their game plan on turbo at fb all week and then a late reshuffle of the backline on game day?!

 

[08Dream]

I think Seibs realised he'd be burnt at the stake if he didnt select Humphreys this week.

 

[bob dylan]

I hear you Bob, but that Knights v Raiders game on Sunday was very poor by both teams. Knights not in scintillating form, I guess neither are we, but manly had plenty of fight vs the Cowboys.

I guess I am scarred by the Souffs game. We were very patched up.

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

Only a guess, but maybe Tom T said to the coach he'd had enough of this playing at centre bs.

 

[Ohgeez]

If Koula didn’t get hurt last week Tom would be playing centre. I think Siebs would be thinking Hoppa, Humphries + Simpkin wouldn’t have enough experience to be in the spine together.

He can create more at fullback than sitting in the centre's, which is what we lacked against Souths

I hope he has an absolute blinder !

True. It's odd. But I think let's give Seibold some credit. If Des was in charge Tommy 2 would be playing in the halves again. There's more experience in the team this week which might be a factor.

But just may be, just may be this is Seibold's way of acknowledging, that against Souths he might have stuffed up.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Humphries in the 1/2’s
Did Seilbold make a error by not naming him against south’s , or does Seibold still think there is no one there but has to name someone there cause the ones that played there against south’s weren’t 1/2’s so it’s just another player playing in that position cause Manly don’t have another 1/2 in the squad 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤪
Anyways hope he plays well
