The Snake will teach the Kid a lesson next week ;D

 

[Captain Moondog]

I'll be happy if he comes through unscathed. He has'nt played for a long time now. Of course, a try or two would be a bonus!

Brett will hopefully have a sound game , but no game breaker as yet....lets just keep fingers crossed he stays injury free so he can have the time on the paddock he needs to find his feet again as it wont happen straight up, so we shouldnt expect the world of him for nexted saturday.....good luck to you buddy good to see you back.

The contest I am more interested in is Trex v Slater Round 2. Put the dog down for good.

 

[Captain Moondog]

The highlight of last season for me. T-Rex using Slater as a speedbump.

 

[Rusty]

Me too, made a disappointing season slightly more enjoyable.

I'm more interested in Stewart vs Dugan for the blues no.1 jumper later in the year.

To be realistic Stewart is going to have to play out of his skin to get a shot. Even if he does they will still likely give it to Hayne or Dugan, they are media darlings at the moment. Also don't forget the ever present - ever undeserving Gidley.

Gidley makes Meninga giggly.

Snake vs The Cat should be the heading to this thread.

 

[Mybludog]

Just need him to be solid.

Doubt he'll have the speed to match the Grub at this stage.

 

[bazeagle]

T Rex to smash Slater again. Even harder.

 

[mozgrame]

I reckon Slater will virtually disappear and make atleast 2 stupid mistakes during the game.  He and Inglis were excellent at keeping themselves out of harms way when we play them.

Welcome back Brett Stewart. Have a great game. Score a try or two, help Manly win and stay uninjured.
Let's not worry about Todd Carney, Benji Marshall or David Gallop. Let's just win. Go the Eagles.
