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

[davohan123]

If we get within 30 points tomorrow of the panthers we will be doing well.
Sad this type of talk is from the northern eagles days..we are not far off those days the way we are going.

If Parra win this our first spoon starts getting momentum.

Parramatta will win a few games leading into the back end of the year, the Bulldogs are the one's we should be hoping continue to struggle, especially given Woods, Mybe are now both gone and Foran and one of their better forward Fatala-Mariner are both gone for the season. They are more chance of the spoon then Parra I think.

Jeez I hope so, that would be the killer punch for us on many fronts!!

Catching up on this thread now I’m home and with Internet ( it’s been a tough 3 weeks in the wilderness) and FMD it’s depressing reading this.

I’m thinking maybe I should return to the Bush where it’s less stressful!

YOu are not going anywhere this time feathered friend . You have had your break . You are going to stick around like the rest of us and face the music like a man

You only ever predict a loss by 30 or 40. Can't we have some optimism and a prediction of a 10 or 20 point loss?!

The games I have been at live this year don't feel me with confidence at all..i like most on here want us to fight our way out of this I just don't see it with this group of players..If JM does not play it could be closer.

now with Tafua out we look even more worse

 

[davohan123]

Jorge Taufua is out, replaced on the wing by Matt Wright, while Shaun Lane has been promoted to the starting line-up at the expense of Frank Winterstein. Dylan Walker returns at five-eighth with Trent Hodkinson benched. Brad Parker replaces Akuila Uate (ankle, season) on the wing. Manase Fainu has again been named at hooker with Matt Wright also benched as Manly attempt to get clearance for Fainu to play. Lloyd Perrett and Kelepi Tanginoa were dropped from the reserves 24 hours out from kick-off.

League Unlimited are reporting Tanginoa is on the bench with Taufua and Perrett dropping out of the 21 man squad.

It won’t be by 40, the refs see to that these days, but 30 is possible.

For me , 28-8, there you go 20 points!!

They’ve got Tanginoa on the bench now mate.

Must of realised there mistake just saw it to

No Horhay and no Aku. So we are looking at Mright and Parker to do the hard yards out of our own end ?? that's not an inspiring thought. Suli might have to man up big time on that front.

Well I suspect that means a 3 forward 1 utility bench, so I guess TGWH misses out to Hodko. Unless he plans on bringing Mright off the wing to spell Fainu and using TGWH to replace him - unlikley though you would suspect, seems a bit left field

Looking forward to having Tangles back though, just not sure whether he has enough miles on the engine since the injury, could be short of match fitness. And with Marty likely to have reduced minutes then maybe Sipley is the safer option with Wigwam and Frankenstein .

What's Jorge's injury

He seems to be increasing his downtime, maybe it's time to go door knocking

Yer we have to start looking at releasing some of these players that spend more time on the sideline Jorge , Sironon etc.
