I have looked into the crystal ball and seen the team sheet in Wednesdays Telegraph. Here's the Manly side

Farrer
Robertson
Lyon
Matai
Williams
Foran
Hodkinson
King
Ballin
Perry
Rodney
Watmough
Stewart

Kite
Gulavao
Bailey
Rose
 
hey BE, are you going to Cronulla, close 4 us Wollongongers!! Not sure if I will go because if we lose to Sharks I might drive off Bulli Tops on way home (with Hodko, Perry, Choc and Farrar in the boot  :D)
 
Not that this would ever happen but drastic changes are needed.

1. Hopoate - even though he played crap yesterday.
2. Tyrone Coppedge he is quick from SSCSE
3. Matai
4. Farrer
5. Whare
6. Lyon - we need leadership
7. Foran
8. King
9. Ballin
10.Kite
11. Lussick
12. Rodney
13. Stewart

14. Watmough
15. Junior Palau
16. Buhrer -to interchange with Ballin
17 T rex

Wednesday, next Wednesday and all Wednesdays for the rest of the season I'd say. Des needs to throw that rubber stamp out and start writing the team down in pen (oops, not the mysterious pen again!!)

How you you get spare $$$.
 
It will be the same team and we will be beaten.  It will take another 2 losses before Des makes changes. 
 
My Team:-

01. Denis Sandow
02. Michael Robertson
03. Steve Matai
04. Jamie Lyon
05. Ben Farrar
06. Keiran Foran
07. Daly Cherry-Evans
08. Jason King
09. Matt Ballin
10. Tony Williams
11. Anthony Watmough
12. Shane Rodney
13. Glenn Stewart

14. Trent Hodkinson
15. George Rose
16. Brent Kite
17. Darcy Lussick
 
Ryan, I like your team but have 2 questions.

Why do you (and many others) want to put Williams in the forwards when defence is clearly a weakness apart from the shoulder charge that he pulls off every now and then?

Why do you wantto move Farrer from Fullback?

That said I would be 100% happy if your team takes the field next week.

No worries:-
Question 1 :) T-Rex dominated in the forward pack at World Cup levels. He looked mobile and had a great off load in traffic. We are targeted on the flanks with him there, and leak too many tries. We need to become a much faster team.
Question 2 :) Farrar is a good player, but he is no specialist fullback. It's a specialist position, requiring a specialist player. Putting Farrar on T-Rex wing makes us so much faster. Monaghan out paced Farrar last night, Sandow would have run him down.

Add to that we could then "rest a player that way as well, meaning Des could bring in an element of accountability, that this team doesn't seem to have at present.
 
My Team would be:

1. Hoppa
2. Robbo
3. Foran
4. Matai
5. Farrah
6. Lyon
7. DCE
8. King
9. Ballin
10. Kite
11. Choc (Last Chance)
12. Rodney
13. Stewart
14. T-Rex (Impact Player)
15. Rose
16. Galuvao
17. Cross

T-Rex can cover for forwards or backs in the even of an injury to a back. Perry & Hodkinson dropped and as far as I am concerned both could be immediately released.

We do not need wholesale changes, probably 2 max.  I would find room for Hoppa in there somewhere and move Williams in the forwards and include a player like Lussick if his form warrants it. 

Actually glad I have something on next Saturday night as we are no hope at Shark park based on current form. 
 
No matter how many changes we'd like to make, a team with more than 4 positional/people changes will play like they've just met each other. I think a couple of change would be good, but not too many.
