Ok Harper - last chance

[Terry Zarsoff]

Oh my God. That was the most excruciating thing I've watched since Darren Albert scored in the dying minute of the Grand Final.

It’s times like this you need a time machine.

Picture it, the SFS, 1997:

you pop into the Manly dressing rooms at halftime and approach Bozo - “Mr Fulton, I have just buzzed in from the future, 2022 to be more accurate. Please tell these numbnuts not to take their feet off the peddle, keep grinding out points until they hit the 25-30 point mark.

That means Nevin cannot afford to miss any goals. If he starts, threaten him with a one way visit to North Head - because Newcastle are coming for your team in the second half. They have the ref in their pocket and your old mate Mal has a few of his players ‘hepped up’ on performance enhancers!

And tell that caveman Hoppa’s ear not to rile O’Davis!”

Good to see Lionel out of the starting line-up. The team doesn't look too bad with our front row back.
The Wabbits have had it over us the past few years hopefully we can get a win.
Go Manly!

Agree but this years Rabbits aren’t quite the same as last years.

We are in with a chance , but it’s only a chance.

I hope Harpo regains his 2021 form by playing with the Workers.
Rather than write him off should DESpicable be questioned as to why he was rushed back into the top grade one week after contracting Covid?

That’s a fair question to ask but given the affects of covid are not as detectable as say a physical injury,I’d of thought Harper would of been the one to say he was ready to go.But to be fair,Harper was building to a game like that,his form this season has been patchy at best

99% of people including me that have had the latest strain of covid experience only cold like symptoms. So why wouldn’t he play the week after having a cold ?

Yes, since the finals last year

Because he's never been one of our must-have players. He's a fringe player, and with Koala showing such good form my question is doubly valid. Why rush him back (a) when he may still be affected by Covid and (b) when Koala probably deserves to be picked ahead of him anyway.

Yeah good point we definitely had a better replacement.

Morgan turned in puss after Olam owned him in storm clash in Brisbane, he got ability but you can tell confidence may play huge role in his play.
If he to play firsts again his must fix the demons

If this is true it is disgraceful.

7kgs is huge.....I'd find it a bit hard to believe that it is true considering he played

If this is true, there is no way he should have played. Even if it was 7lbs, he shouldn't have played.

Should Marty be playing on Friday night?

 

[Mitch]

If he wasn’t ready to play physically after Covid he wouldn’t have been selected.

I feel Des bringing that up was a way of deflecting away from the performance and protecting his player.

I'd take it with a grain of salt..
7kgs is a sh!t load of weight to drop. Surely the club wouldn't really play someone that lost 7kgs in a week, especially when we had options..

When asked how he knew, his response:

The bloke professes to know a lot, but the reality is, he knows fark all.
