Pre-Game Manly v Raiders [Round 17, 2021]

No big pappa and no wighton, if we have Schuster we will cream these guys!

And then dragons hopefully missing half there squad party players suspended hopefully

We need to smash the Raiders. Will be interesting to see how the team is. Does Walker go to centre as Garrick will be FB, or does he go to 5/8 with minimal disruption to backline with either Funa or Tuipolotu coming in.

Walker goes to 6, Suli to left centre and Parker to left wing. Not what I'd do but what I think Des will do.

 

[Kalvin]

So is Jake gonna be lining up since not picked for origin?

The least team disruption is Lawton to 7, Garrick to FB, Tippytoes on Parkers wing. It is the same defensive position for Lawton and Walker stays on the bench until we are 20 ahead at least.

For sure.

For sure.

Assuming he will pip Foz at the post for the "C" If fit also

If he's fit , he plays

Nope I’d pick Foz. Jake has too much emotion..

 

[Kalvin]

Don't disagree but not sure if it'll happen

 

[Mataiforever]

Didn’t Des say Jake will be out? Surely if Jake was fit he’d get picked for Origin?

Expecting:
1 Garrick, same 2-4, 5 Suli, 6 Cust 7 Foran
Same pack w/ Keppie at 13 if no Jake
14 Dylan 15 Burbo 16 De Luis / Sironen / Gosiewski 17 Sipley

Although would be partial to Tuipolotu / Koula to wing and Suli to bench.

Is funa available??
Ide be playing Garrick 1, funa in garricks spot.. keep the centres as they are . Cust in the halves to keep everyone else as is.. if not cust, Walker to 5/8 but ONLY because I don't want the backline shuffled 3 or 4 times just to cover turbo missing

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Anyone on here live in Canberra? Keep your eyes peeled for raiders out in the piss and report them. Especially in Queanbeyan in case no lockdown in the ACT.

bahahahahaha lol

Interesting - Garrick to fullback, yes Funa on the wing I think as well. Walker to 5/8 if not - Cust, same forward pack, with Cust/Walker on the bench, Sipley, Burbo, De Luis. Foran to direct us around and Walker can be that running half.

 

[Mataiforever]

So are both Jake and Schuster out?

I would much prefer tuipulotu or koula on the wing than funa. Funa is off contract and really hasn't done anything to prove he is a good first grader. May as well look to the future as its long odds he gets resigned surely.

At this stage, apparently back for St George game ?
Know more tomorrow arvo I guess

Yes I get your point but Funa I think wont make any errors. He wont win us the game but hopefully we just need an error free winger for this game.

I see your point and can see Des going that way.

Just personally I always like to see the exciting debutant, especially when it makes more sense long term, and also considering we have 2 no-frills hard tackling & running (but no x-factor) centres in parker and harper.

Yes I jave no dramas at all - not sure what their form is like with Blacktown. If they have been playing lights out - totally agree.
