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

[Fibro Eagle]

While you have the popcorn may I suggest you go to the kennel and read the first few pages of their Rn 17 vs roosters thread
There's a bit of dejavu meltdown happening

I had to have a look oh my there not very happy with Baz over there

 

[Cliffymagic]

Gotta feel for the likes of suli and cust. Haven't had much chance to shine with turbo in the team.

Their temperament won't change after the Rorters give them a huge touch up this weekend.

TAB have the Rorters at $1.09 and that's before the Pub 5 have fronted the board.

Injury update

Round 17: Injury Update

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Head Physiotherapist James Rahme provides an update on our injury front.

www.seaeagles.com.au

Did the Beard of Knowledge mention Sir-Loin? I missed it if he did.
I'm not sure if he is just trying to energise we fans but it seems many of our injured players will be making it back on the field later in the season, even Davey who could have had a breakout year judging by his fleeting early form.
I had a chuckle when the Beard of Knowledge said Lance was ready to start passing.... He was never able to do this pre-injury!

This game and dragons next weekend could really secure our finals spot, then the rest of the season we chase a top 4 berth.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Could suli on the wing be a Dessie red herring and he makes way for a koala debut who is on the reserve bench.

 

[Fonzarelli]

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.

I dont know why but i have a feeling we might see taufua back on the wing. Suli though I always thought he could make a good winger if he got his defence right.

Mate i think jorge could be back, does anyone know how he's been travelling in the lower grades?

I think he has been going ok but as a centre. Love Jorge but can’t see them going back to him.

Could be but very highly unlikely.

 

[40 years an eagle]

If the 17 named stays I hope:
Suli is on the wing.
Con starts at 7
Walker plays 14

I'm good with the rest.

Could suli on the wing be a Dessie red herring

Don't think so. Suli was 18th man last game & played well in his last game v. Cowboys (attack good, defence not so much).

 

[XV-1]

If the 17 named stays I hope:
Suli is on the wing.
Con starts at 7
Walker plays 14

I'm good with the rest.

Suli out the back door and replaced by koula

Cust will start as half.

Agree, Walker as 14 - unless Des has him starting at 5/8th.

 

[Nordburg]

Could be but very highly unlikely.

Only red herring I see there is Suli and Parker switch

They were interchanging in the Cowboys game. After an early try was let in, Parker defended as centre & Suli as wing.

 

[Will on the hill]

Suli out the back door and replaced by koula

Cust will start as half.

Agree, Walker as 14 - unless Des has him starting at 5/8th.

6 or 7 is irrelevant, Foz will steer the ship, Walker will man the cannons.

Aloiai- possibly available 2 to 3 weeks? if strength and conditioning goes well. will play with a guard on his wrist
Schuster- - Back to running at Max speed this week and available next week
Jake- Possible to be available next week
Saddler- will be back in contact work 2 to 3 weeks.

We have so much depth that even with Tom and DCE out for origin our side looks strong and these guys are all back in 2 weeks or so then we are looking super good!!

PS- Nothing said about Sironen, Is he back and playing reggies or out for teh season as he usually gets a mention??

Could suli on the wing be a Dessie red herring and he makes way for a koala debut who is on the reserve bench.

There's been no reserve grade matches for a couple of weeks due to the lock-down so I highly doubt it. Suli needs a run, he's certainly one of the next up if any of our current 3/4s get hurt and can't play finals. Koula could get a run later in the year depending on this that and the other.

My first line was: "If the 17 named stays". If I had a choice, I would boot Suli too.
