Manly vs Cowboys [Round 13, 2018] - Pre game Discussion Thread

Watch him get off. You an just sense it.

Look you never know - but seriously if he gets off you might as well just open the shoulder charge back up. If you want to maintain integrity in their decision to ban it, he can't get off the charge.

Happy to hear everyone else's thoughts - you should be able to check out the video in the below twitter link:

Could go either way, they'll say it was a front on (chest) hit rather than shoulder. Just bring it back ffs, but never will happen. I loved the shoulder charge and fights too while I'm on it, just getting more and more watered down these days. I'm just getting old and cranky I guess.

Mate I agree with you.

I think I am just bitter and jaded at the purely political and agenda driven way the NRL is run these days.

What is right and fair counts for little under Greenberg's NRL.

I think the girls will have a few key SOO players out and we will pull their pants down and do the job .

love it when you talk dirty

Matt Wright to FB, Tom Wright onto the bench mate. Can cover in the halves, wing, centre and FB. If something happened to Api you could shift Tom to FB and Matt Wright into Dummy Half.

You solution is sound but if that was the case he would have been on the bench this weekend...no way Baz is going to do it

I've got more chance getting off with the ex .

I hate to play devils advocate here, but was Scott's shoulder charge any worse than what happened with Napa and Sims? And Napa escaped penalty, at least off-field penalty.

However, I can still see the judiciary upholding the suspension.

The Cows will be desperate to have Scott though, especially as they'll already be missing Cooper, Hess and Morgan who were selected for Qld.

Its going to be tough without the Turbo's in the side on Thursday.....but its not like we didn't know this was coming. They've been predicted Origin selections for a while.

If only this was true ..

Proof reading.....its a lost art.

 

[40 years an eagle]

Yep, sad, but more like a lost basic. It's everywhere nowadays..

You missed an apostrophe.

Art found!

lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol...!

-sorry.

 

[HoldenV8]

The problem is spell check and auto correct. Too many lazy people rely on them.

I'll be honest, its not necessarily bad grammar that grinds my gears. Its when we get the American spelling of some words that I hate.

Jail is the American spelling. Here we spell it G A O L.

Ass is another. An ass is a freaking donkey for crying out loud. A R S E. Spell it right ya dopes (not in here though, you guys are good).

Sorry, mini rant over lol.

Hopefully Walker is a smoke screen and he'll be back this game!

Api back but the 2 turbos mean...well it's not a given could it mean... brookie sadness?


PS - the brookie 'lottoland' scoreboard is almost done my 'spies' tell me.

 

[Paw93]

We lose a lot of strike with Tom and Jake out but then get Api back. Would love to see Tom Wright play fullback to bring back some x-factor but won't be surprised to see Baz play it safe with Matt Wright. Fullback is one of the toughest positions to play in the modern game, both defensively and offensively. I'd rate M Wright a better defensive fullback than Turbo and I don't think Tom Wright is anywhere near as good as Turbo in that aspect either. Let's see what Baz ends up going for. I think it'll be:

1. Matt Wright/Tom Wright
2. Uate
3. Kelly
4. Suli
5. Taufua
6. Hodko
7. DCE
8. AFB
9. Api
10. Marty
11. Thommo
12. Gosiewski
13. Lane

14. Brown/T Wright
15. Winterstein
16. Perrett
17. Paseka/Sipley
