WHY LEWIS BROWN, other than that it's great to have Taupau back (hopefully)

 

[eaglebuzz]

I assume Myles will take someone's place. Don't know who though

 

[mickqld]

Barrett is clueless. Picking 2 utilities when we're playing thar monster Raiders pack. Green Brown Sironen should be out judging on performance.
Cullen to 6
Hastings to 9.
Lane to 12.
Api on bench with AFB Lussick Perrett.
Why has Perrett been dropped. He was getting good go forward last week.

Every time I see the team list I see Api at 9 and my head almost explodes.

You would think by now I would be prepared for it to be so, but it just beggers belief so badly that I fall for it every week.

I personally think he is just down the pecking order. Hastings has taken Myles bench spot. I say he would be cover for Taupau though still coming of a rib injury.

Lane to 12? hahahahaha your funny
Perrett hasn't been dropped, he got injured last week.

 

[mickqld]

7 run 60m Sironen 56min
8 run 72m Winterstein 80min
13 runs 114m Perrett in 38min.
If he's not injured then Barrett is clueless

Your happy with the 2nd rowers stats are you ???

 

[Ben]

Your happy with the 2nd rowers stats are you ???

You've seen Lane play have you?

 

[mickqld]

You've seen Lane play have you?

Yep and better than what Sironen has been serving up lately.

 

[Ben]

Yep and better than what Sironen has been serving up lately.

Your entitled to your opinion

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

WHY LEWIS BROWN, other than that it's great to have Taupau back (hopefully)

With Taupau back we are back to a full strength run on side.
Re Lewis Brown, the bloke has played every game since 2016, can't they rest him for a week or 2 😉

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Should be a good away win for Manly this week. Raiders will be expecting to blow us off the park and when it doesn't happen they will get pretty loose.

 

[damiennp90]

I've watched Lane the last few weeks.

His defence isn't first grade standard and he zones out of games sometimes.

Mind you last week I had yelling at the Tv at Siros tackling so IDK.

Ps I just don't see how we can win this week.

Kelly and Tafua against BJ and Rapana

 

[mickqld]

Boyd Cordner 16 runs 175m. I wish we had a 2nd rower with those stats.

On the other hand Raiders will be saying Kelly and Taufua against BJ and Rapana

 

[mickqld]

I assume Myles will take someone's place. Don't know who though

Myles shouldn't be anywhere near Lottoland. Blacktown at best.

 

[HappilyManly]

Yep and better than what Sironen has been serving up lately.

I watched the reserves live on Saturday and was shocked at how bad Lane was.
All the Blacktown Player Families assured me that he is as inept each week.

But he sure stands out - lanky is an understatement 🙂

Sirro leads the offloads at Manly with 16 just over Kapow with 15
Third in the NRL with Kapow with in the overall NRL stats
