Pre-Game Manly V Warriors [Round 24, 2024]

[manly al]

Looks like could expect Faulalo , Waddell , Humphries maybe even Sipley to join the Blacktown squad on Saturday but mentioned out of finals calculations now .
Recognized coach as well , not sure of the makeup of the side in recent weeks but quite surprising that they have been so ordinary form wise . Especially defensively .
Well hopefully can improve for the remaining games and provide a good send off for any departing players

 

[manly al]

Should be a better arrangement Brown coming on from the bench instead of starting and for better impact .
Only way in the practical sense for Koula to get a start would be a straight swap with Talau but can ;t see that happening this week .
Next week and with everyone available , more then likely but then maybe Talau swapping with Burbo.
Gordy seemingly offering a bit more then Lawton right now giving Froggy a break and to accommodate Burbo still on the bench, would need Lawton naturally doing this job again .
Anyway , main priority to get the points against the Warriors who even with a 5 day turnaround , are still capable of playing to a good standard if things are going their way and given the opportunity

 

[stlth15]

If Koula is fit, he should go back to centre and Talau to replace Burbo off the bench (ala Dylan walker as a dynamic utility), Burbo to blacktown....

Seibold is clearly giving Lodge extended game time in Reggie’s before he comes back into 1st Grade.

Koula at 18 is probably just named to see if he is fit, however, all our concussions, apart from Burbo have been backs, so there may be some logic to it.

I guess we’ll see on the night.

Sea Eagles keen to go to another level at home

A golden opportunity to move another step closer to the all important top four awaits the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles at 4 Pines Park on Friday night.

Warriors full strength
With nothing to lose
Dangerous time to face them come Friday night

Lets face it, every team is dangerous in todays NRL. Being at full strength will work in our favour tho, competition for spots backs and forwards should guarantee there'll be no complacency this Friday night.

Lodge is unsigned for next season, so he'll be wanting to showcase himself to other prospective clubs if we don't resign him. A fit and firing Lodge will see him eventually take a bench spot you'd think.

I just don't see who Lodge replaces. He wasn't playing that well when he got injured and both Bulle and Brown have been playing good footy. I can't see him replacing Burbo. So maybe Gordie and they play Lawton at dummy half to give Croker a rest??? But Gordie has been adding some spark when he's come on. Lodge will have to be really lighting up Reggies to even contemplate putting him on the bench, I reckon.

Handy back up in case one of the props go down injured in the coming weeks

Yeah, I can see him in that role. But Sips (with a bit more match fitness) might be aa bit ahead of him. He was going ok. My concern about Lodge is that he's a big lumbering type and whilst he might add some starch, I'm not sure that's enough anymore.

 

[Scorpio]

Koula could be an interesting option on the bench. At centre he often just does a lot of grunt work, but he could be more dynamic coming on at 30-50 minutes in the middle of the field against tiring defenders.

It looks like it maybe a wet game. 🌂🌧️☔

That can't be good for crowd attendance.

100%. We have to win this, red hot favourites... most dangerous game of the year.

 

[BOZO]

One of the biggest disappointments and underachievers of the year are the Warriors
and their One year Wonder coach is lost for answers in getting them up all year
We should well and truly put a big score against them and put them out of their 2024 season misery

The Warriors Head coach has run out of winning ideas

Tylor Bunting returns in boost for Flegg side

Quality young half-back Tylor Bunting makes a welcome return for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in a crucial home match on Saturday in round 24 of the Jersey Flegg Cup.

[ALinda]

In today's presser, Seibs saying Koula will play tomorrow but undecided yet if he's starting or on the bench. Wonder who he'll replace...with all due respects to Burbo, hope it's not Bully, Brown or Gordie.

 

[MW66]

Not sure why we are raging hot favourites. That Warriors team looks very, very decent on paper.
