Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 9, 2024]

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

Presuming DCE misses a week then JA is clearly in and will go OK; I will be interested to see how Brooks goes as the lead half, this is a chance to press his claims for SOO consideration. I would be tempted to start Nathan Brown at lock for this and Jake at prop, Lawton starting second row 3 middles and GCKT/Humphries on the bench. Possibly even Parker on bench if we wanted to be cautious about covering any injuries in the backs.

DCE will either miss 3 weeks or nothing.

Canberra are pretty cooked so I think we stand a chance even if we do lose DCE and Olakau'atu. Arthur is no slouch and either Bullemor or Lawton can hold their own on the edge for a couple of matches.

Faders missing lots of players through injury, it's a very good time to play them tbh.

SOO propaganda machine firing up.

Lets go Taniela!!

Dont see this as the game for Gordie.

The wet would negate his running game and the Raiders are a monster pack who play a power game meaning he would be particularly vulnerable in defense.

Funny, when I watched Canberra V Cronulla I thought the Faders looked a small side, completely monstered by the Sharks. With the exception of Tapine, I can't think of another Canberra player who is big.

What about Papalii. Also I heard Whitehead will be back this week.

What really stood out in the the Faders Sharks game was the Faders defence on their try line, it was poor. You only need one good hit-up to skittle them and then it's virtually just a jog over and put down over the try line next tackle.

I feel for Kao Weekes.

Correct me (please) but for a kid who came through as a full back he seems to have played everywhere else

I guess some of their lads like Horsburgh, Guler and Whitehead arent playing atm so fair point.

You do still have Paps (119kg) Tapine (106kg) Mariota (107kg) Smithies (106kg) Mooney (106kg) though

IMO Weekes has not been given a shot at Fullback because of the better quality option players
At Manly We had Garrick and Koula as options
At the Raiders they have the superior Stewart
IMO Weekes is not a NRL quality , I am Glad we let him go

Thats a mongrel of a bench we have picked this week. Loving it!

Ricky has named a much better team this week.

The 12 year old fullback gone, replaced by Hoppa. Cotric, Guler and Whitehead back.

One of his from the fence runs a couple of weeks seemed to inspire Nella who then just ran through the riff. Pretty sure we scored off that too.

He definitely one of the forward leader pieces we've been missing.

Whitehead will be a plus for them, he'll add some starch to their pack
