Manly v Roosters Rd 9 (pre game discussion)

[Woodsie]

Have to correct you there. Kelly didn't make his Manly and NRL debut until 2017.

V8 ... have you been on the sauce ... last year was '17 .... and it was Kelly ....

Jackson Hastings was actually in that Manly side as the footage of him on the sidelines with Lewis Brown shows.

IIRC, Jacko didn't get off the bench.

 

[nightster]

that was a good reminder that we can win against the odds .... and I hope we do, this is the first time I have never picked us .... I feel dirty, ashamed ... I think I'll go kick my butt

 

[Cliffymagic]

First time im tipping againts manly in my work tipping comp too. I hold a 3 game lead and gotta go with the head!!! . Still praying we blitz em thou.

 

[BOZO]

Unfortunately, I do think we will lose this.

But I am expecting a close game.

I know the hatred for Barrett on here is strong, but the players love the bloke so am expecting them to stand up on Sunday in support of him.

There should not be any hate for any of our players or coaches or any human being . We dislike what people do but we don't hate them .
The only thing Proud Manly supporters Hate is Losing with a passion .
Proud Manly Sea eagle supporters are used to winning and have high expectations . We disapprove strongly of any player or coach that does not meet the high expectations that has made our proud club Great . We have no place for anyone that tarnishes our proud history and drags our club to mediocre level
To put it in my own words and I make no apology
If you cant fly high like a Sea eagle then fck off !!!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Chooks are a team of stars who will each be happy to leave it to someone else to win the game for them. So I'm usually confident against them, but this year dumb penalties (50%) and bull**** penalties (50%) are dragging us down.

Thanks for the memories Woodsie ....
What a try by Walker. What an explosive centre he is . None much better in full flight . Shut the gate when he gets into the clear .

OK then.

With the players we have available this is the back line I think would be most affective
1. Tom Wright
2. Brian Kelly
3. Dylan Walker
4. Moses Suli
5. Tevita Funa
6. Tom Turbo
7. DCE
Uate: too many errors and confidence is down.
Matt Wright : Its time to add some spice and pace and inject Funa into the team .
Walker :is best at being a brilliant individual quality centre . Why take that away from our attack .
Tom Turbo : is a hand full and getting his hands on the ball more will create more opportunities
Moses Suli : His power play will keep Latrell Mitchell at bay
Tom Wright : If Trent can persist with a Croker for so long surely the dynamic Tom Wright can be given an opportunity to unleash his talent .

 

[qldeagle]

Surely this is a deception tactic from Trent... Surely he's not considering Walker at 6... Surely..

Yes he is and stop calling me surely!

If we lose we are ever closer to 16th spot, and once there it’s going to be very hard to shake it off.

Chance of a win this week ( chance) but can’t see a win the next two weeks v Donkeys / Drizzle.

Gloomy times indeed!

 

[Sue]

We’ve still got talent in our side but no way can they be cohesive with the new backbone set up.

Other than Paseka the bench is just wasting space. Worst in NRL as you would expect with our injuries.

Chooks easily unfortunately and I have a horrible feeling Mitchell is about to unleash after the publicity this week.

More of the same next two weeks after that. Need Tafua and some sort of half badly.

Wests had a team of champions back in the day,kelly,diamond etc but they weren't a champion team,
We will win.

@Chip and Chase . Mate this team selection is not as funny as the predicted selected ones with the passenger Croker and the error riddled Uate and the result was that we got thrashed by teams such as the winless Parramatta eels .
I would rather try something different than going in with the same names that costs us the games .
People that are afraid of change never change anything 😉

[ManlyTragic]

Yeah! When we win a game we are due for a loss......and when we lose a game we are so bad we are due for a loss!

 

[Oracle]

Walkz had a blinder but unfortunately lost
If Dce played we would have won

 

[HoldenV8]

Personally I wouldn't have minded Barrett giving Tom Wright the run in the centres instead of Suli. Sure he may not be quite ready for first grade, but we're getting to the stage where we have nothing left to lose by blooding a few of the younger players.
