Game Day: Manly v Tigers [Round 17, 2020]

[Mark from Brisbane]

That’s three weeks in a row. Something going on.

Des has been reading Silvertails.

Ok, I was unimpressed with hoppa last week, but he gets the benefit of the doubt cos the storm are just better than us..
THIS week, I wanna see somthing, because the tigers are hopeless..
Same goes for Schuster, havnt seen much of him, but the way ppl on here talk hes the next big thing.. debut nerves aside, I expect to see SOMTHING from him against the tigers...

I've been burned before on here lol, the way parker was talked up for 2 years, then showed up and played complete ****e for 90% of his career i HOPE these kids are different

not sure why Guacamole missed out as he’s been going really well.

Agree (at least Des is listening to some of our suggestions )

Auspicious debut for Josh marking Benji! He was just three years old when Benji threw that flick pass in the 2005 GF.

 

[jbb/james]

The tigers defence has been crap. If we cant score points in the first 60 minutes this week, something is bad.

Scoring points when teams clock off isnt counted in the fair dinkum department

 

[grogbog]

Harper's tackle efficiency stats concern me, I see us leaking a lot of points out wide.

Is it because guacamole plays right and Waddell plays left side?

So put Olakuatu on the FUKING right. Maybe the right center and winger might see the ball instead of Siro crabing back inside 99.999% of the time

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Strap yourselves in boys and girls this could be a rocky ride.

Is Cust injured?

Ok, I was

I really don't remember Parker being talked up more then being a promising local junior who could make first grade.

Certainly no huge hype

4 tackles made and 2 missed isn't much of a sample size to draw too many conclusions,but yeah has not played with these guys or had a pre season so he and Hoppa might be in for a rough night...

Didn't Gauca fill in for Thompson?

In 2019 he had 21 tackles and missed 6 which is still below average. Have the feeling he'll get rinsed.

NRL Late Mail vs Wests Tigers

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach Des Hasler has finalised his squad for tonight's match against the Wests Tigers.

Josh and Morgan both in!

so Des wasn't brave enough to drop Waddell and bring in Hormole

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

There was plenty of hype.
I didn't watch the juniors much, so here is the only place I get to hear about who's coming up, and there was plenty of wraps on parker pre debut

 

[manlyfan76]

Let's gone MANLY

Give us something!

I get the bad feeling that it may be because Des is trying to get him re-signed as he is off contract(proverbial carrot),if Waddell was not part of next years plans I think Gauca would be playing.I would personally let him walk....

With the reduction in squad numbers there’ll be left overs and I just don’t think Duck offers that much!!
