[SeaEagleRock8]

Wow!
Maybe Parker ...any room for a new signing this week?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Raymond Tuimalo as an impact benchie!

 

[Dion Johnson]

I think a couple of players will be getting their first chance to debut for Manly.

James
Humphreys
Sykes or Usele

 

[deanm]

Condon scored 3 tries in NSW Cup today, so he must be going OK !

We’ll be fine. Based on today’s performance we only need 13.

Caleb navale at 13

Really excited to see Humphreys, I really like him as a player!

 

[Dion Johnson]

I think a good game from James will be needed not only for Manly but him to prove he should be in the 30 man squad next season.

 

[JBW]

Surely there's some more Hoppa kids floating out there that'd love a run in the park?

 

[Not Paul Kent]

I think we have two spots available, who could we even sign though?

 

[Sir Pigman]

Condon scored 3 tries in NSW Cup today, so he must be going OK !

Unfortunately 3 tries does not = good play. He maybe going good but tries is not a good barometer.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Condon has now had 18 months slowly learning the Manly way, I reckon he'll come in and show up Keppie! Go big fella!

 

[ALinda]

Let's see, who's languishing in reserves...Kapow! (desperate times call for desperate measures) lol

My current thoughts...

ROLLING CURRENT TEAM

1. Lehi Hopoate
2. Jason Saab
3. Tommy Talau
4. Tolu Koula
5. Ray Vaega
6. Luke Brooks
7. Jamie Humphreys
8. Ethan Bullemor
9. Jake Simpkin
10. Corey Waddell / Aitasi James
11. Karl Lawton
12. Ben Trbojevic
13. Nathan Brown
14. GCKT
15. Ben Condon
16. Caleb Navale
17. Aitasi James / Jacob Sykes / Brad Parker

Can't fault Karl's efforts at left second row. 16/17 a mix of whoever was best from Blacktown outside of Condon.

ROLLING FULL STRENGTH

1. Lehi Hopoate
2. Jason Saab
3. Tom Trbojevic (Roaming left centre)
4. Tolu Koula (Right centre)
5. Reuben Garrick
6. Luke Brooks
7. Daly Cherry-Evans
8. Taniela Paseka
9. Jake Simpkin
10. Ethan Bullemor*
11. Haumole Olakau'atu
12. Ben Trbojevic
13. Jake Trbojevic
14. Lachlan Croker**
15. Josh Aloiai
16. Nathan Brown
17. Corey Waddell***

*Based upon today's form, and combination with Simpkin

**Could start, however in Lawton's absence next year I think he would make a fantastic utility, covering halves, hooker and potentially lock.

***Also based upon today's efforts, however I would love to see Navale get a spot by the end of the year.

Lodge is a walk up to that full strength side

I like it but I think I'd rather have bully's impact off the bench. Same with brown. I don't think yr best 13 have to start the game.

And I still feel bad that talau isn't there.

Lodge is a walk up to that full strength side

After today's defensive efforts, I think losing our slow middles actually seemed to help us defensively. I actually now have doubts about whether the objectively strong power of Lodge and Sipley is worth their lack of mobility defensively. Brown and Bullemor were very good, and Aloiai and Waddell are both quite mobile too.

From what I saw of Lodge this year he isn't in our best 17.
