Pre-Game Manly v Tigers [Round 9, 2022]

[Koko22]

Harper getting another run Des has jumped the shark lock him up.

 

[Rocky]

Weekes to sneak in an hour before kick-off! (just a hunch, no inside info, but it would be a good game for him to debut in)

was thinking the same thing (that it would be a good game to debut in)

Replacing Foran? Asking for a friend 😉

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I expect Harper is there so that if we need a replacement in the forwards Burbo can move into the second row. I'm surprised he is back so soon.

 

[Woodsie]

I'm backing Harper to come good. And chewy on the boot of all numbnuts writing him off and bagging him ..

all this talk on the forum about numb nuts, betting there left nuts. . is being a manly fan a shortcut to a testicular condition ? if someone mentions bloodnuts in the next 24 hours im booking a doc appointment.

 

[Koko22]

Is Tom definitely playing? Would love to see Weekes ger a ryn on the bencj so much more upside in the kid compared to harper.

What a game to debut in a sellout at home against a tigers team that is steady but not brilliant.

[SeaEagleRock8]

You forgot Davey

 

[Brissie Kid]

Schuster gone for a month? ffs he is Halley's Comet.

 

[HoldenV8]

When we signed Bully I thought he was a free-striding second rower. Mark assured me he was always a front rower. Now he looks like he's playing as a second rower so I'm confused as to his normal/correct position.

For mine he's a front rower who through circumstance has played back row. Unfortunately he doesn't really have the lateral speed needed to be a back rower, but when he's the best option you have then you don't have a lot of choice. With Lawton on suspension and both Davey and Shoe injured, Bull is the best fill in option we have.

But for mine, he's a prop and should stay there.

Unfortunately our pack is very front row heavy and very hooker (past Croker) and back row light.

 

[HoldenV8]

And please, don't anyone say we could play Jorge Taufua in the back row. He would not have anywhere near the work rate to be able to play the position. I'd rather a fully fit Brad Parker playing back row than Jorge.

Schuster gone for a month? ffs he is Halley's Comet.

It’s not what I reckon it’s what the coach reckons.

For Brisbane , and their feeder club , he was a Prop.

Really , so he’s out for 2 months , plays one game then give for another month!

We need a new name , we’ve got Tommy Tissue already !!

His best games,for both Brisbane and Manly,have been at Prop.I think he’s a very good player but due to circumstances,injury and suspensions,he hasn’t been able to get many hit outs in the middle of the park

 

[Dion Johnson]

Harper on the bench, maybe a late change with him and Ben T or alternatively Weekes could get a run from the bench.
