Manly v Panthers [Round 16 , 2018] - Pre-Game Discussion

[Nice Beaver]

Loving the collective losing of sh*t about the NAMED team.
For the sake of all of your blood pressures, I'd wait to see what the actual 17 is come 2pm on Saturday.
If it stays the same, by all means, have at it. I will join in.
Until then, its all hand wringing at theoretical stuff.

But who kicks ?

It's a moot point you raise ...summary of Chez kicking stats.
Chez 15 games 2 attempts per game 2 forced drop outs =success rate 6%
Goal kicking success rate 76.92%
Field goals. = zero from 3 attempts ?
Chez 40/20s attempts have been non existent
Kicks in general play have been misdirected and lacking in length.
Given away 7 tackle repeat sets

considering these stats :
Walkz and TomW would do just fine besides Chez might have more success kicking from dummy half.

I think you will find he has kicked 2 x 40/20's (ranked 1st in 2018), 8 x forced drop outs (ranked 11th in 2018) and 147 kicks in general play (ranked 6th in 2018).

 

[Chip and Chase]

You know your season is cooked once they start mentioning "mathematical possibility" of making the 8. Pretty sad when that is happening with 10 rounds to go. Maybe we should change Frank's name to Wintironstine and see if he can conjure up same amazing theory of relativity that propels us at the speed of light to the top of the table.

You forgot one
Lollipop end over end bombs that get the opposition on the front foot to begin a new set 123 ranked first by LONG way.

Truly...truly terrible

 

[eaglebuzz]

Seems like the team is the strongest we could have named under the circumstances. Won't beat Penrith though.

 

[MuzztheEagle]

Looks like Marty is (finally) headed home:
@MartyKapow 32 minutes ago
"Well this has definitely been an experience to forget, but i am excited to say that im finally coming home after a treacherous adventure. I must say what has made this adventure comforting is the professionalism from @NZRL_Kiwis staff and my fiancé back home @BaillieMichelle"

That seat looks way to small for someone of his stature so I imagine he will be spending most of tomorrow recovering but hopefully he pulls up okay to make it through the captain's run.

Penrith have been playing some very good consistent footy . They are up on the top of the tree and will be hard to beat but we have to go in hard with the right game plan , the right team selection and in the right frame of mind that every team is beatable .
Every team is beatable
Every team is beatable
Every team is beatable
Every team is beatable
Every team is beatable

NRL Tonight quoting Baz as 'Marty won't play'

Currently on plane and lands 6am Thursday

 

[40 years an eagle]

Why does Jono Wright even get named in the 21?
Are they ****ing kidding or what

Because we only have 21 top 30 players fit to play?

Hahaha you said a game plan.
I haven't seen one in 2 and half seasons

 

[Nice Beaver]

Thats a very frustrating thing for mine.

I have seen game plans from us in some games. Then others it looks like we have literally not trained all week and met at the bus on game day.

Its Jekyll and Hyde.

 

[Budgie]

You don't recall the genius kicking for touch on the fifth?

 

[40 years an eagle]

Sorry champ Personally I would leave the 21 jumper empty...same result

Can't do that champ, every club must name 21 players before 2pm on tuesdays.

 

[The Royal Soup]
