[COMMANDER]

Hope the yellow jersey's don't backfire on us. If we lose I will be blaming the jerseys.

 

[manlyfan76]

Ill be happy with a really bad one point victory.
I'd really happy if our forwards were really dominate over theirs.
If be extremely happy with flogging the dead horse that is the broncs 2014.

 

[RiverEagle]

Yellow Wolverine jerseys and four points clear or not, I hope our lot remember what they did to us up there in the first bout.

Just as we got revenge over the Tigs, so too we need the same over the bloated Bronx.

Wonder if Hugh Jackman will be watching??

 

[wedgetail eagle]

We'll be the Sea Wolves just for this game.

 

[eagle chick]

Looking forward to this one! Dad's first Manly game ever after being a supporter for 16 years, and mum's standard Friday night at Brookie. Go Manly!

[The Who]

Chayse Blair has also been picked in Reserve grade.
2V... you trying to trick the Donkeys?

---

Donkeys have eight reserves.
They are going to need them all.

1. Brett Stewart, 2. Jorge Taufua, 3. Jamie Lyon, 4. Steve Matai, 5. Peta Hiku, 6. Kieran Foran, 7. Daly Cherry-Evans, 8. Josh Starling, 9. Matt Ballin, 10. Brenton Lawrence, 11.

[The Who]

So Jorge is back. Confusing with the original post listing Blair.

 

[Ralphie]

Interesting that they have selected Barba at 5/8th

 

[The Who]

Barba has played 5/8 in their last two matches.

 

[Ralphie]

Barba has played 5/8 in their last two matches.

Really, Huh, just goes to show you how much notice I take of them.

 

[HappilyManly]

These Team lists won't be finalized till an hour before kick off.

Apparently, the NRL are trying to force Clubs next year to keep a dynamic Team and Injury List. This is to stop 'insider' information affecting the Betting Agencies 😎

Horo will probably push Hasson off the bench too.

Barba can't tackle, so Manly need to follow the Scumos game plan and run at him.
Apparently, Bennett wants him goooone 😛

 

[Eagles2nv]

Yeah i find it odd Barba playing 5/8 but i can see why the donkeys would try him in that position.

 

[Dan]

Barba is pretty good attacking on the fringes as a 5/8 but not with his passing game, just standard dummy and run, don't fall for the dummy and we will be fine

 

[bennyeagle]

Dunamis Lui injured ?

 

[HappilyManly]

Nami was injured 2 weeks ago. I think it was his knee.
He would love to line up against his old Club on Friday 🙂

 

[HoldenV8]

The 2014 Ben Barba is a shadow of his 2012 form. Hell, he played better last year.

He's a fullback, not a 5/8. And Josh Hoffman? He's a winger who hated playing 5/8 because he thinks he's the worlds best fullback.

 

[Jethro]

Dunamis Lui injured ?

From seaeagles.com.au:

Injured his left knee in round 19 against the Dragons and will go for scans. The club will assess his injury after they get the results back.
