Orford trained fine -- should be back this week.

[Jatz Crackers]

Jatz, you got Grant Meyer's email earlier.. email him this and get this **** happening :lol:

:lol: Nutz. Im on to it.

Actually this isnt the job for me. I actually dont advocate Monas at 5/8 (please take note Fluffy)

I think its possible but wont rule it in or out. At present im still convinced the team line up at 5/8 should be one of these two:

01. Stewart
02. Robertson
03. Bell
04. Lyon
05. Hicks
06. Burns
07. Orford
08. King
09. Ballin
10. Kite
11. Beaver
12. Watmough
13. G Stewart

14. Monas
15. Rose
16. Hall
17. Willo/Matai

Bryant is the drop off

OR

01. Stewart
02. Robertson
03. Bell
04. Matai
05. Hicks
06. Lyon
07. Orford
08. King
09. Ballin
10. Kite
11. Beaver
12. Watmough
13. G Stewart

14. Monas/Burns
15. Rose
16. Hall
17. Willo

One thing thats happened since i wrote those teams a week or so back, is Monas chip kick & bell try. I was impressed so Ballin certainly has competition.

 

[PEPSI]

i may be wrong but the only place i have heard Mona's name mentioned regarding S.O.O has been on Manly web sites!

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Gus threw his name up.

I would like to see them pick 6. Carney 7. Orford.

 

[fLIP]

Yeah, that would be a great halves combo.

 

[Fluffy]

if we are talking carny at 5/8 then mullins will also have to get a look in, played outside johns befoer his retirement and is talented like carney. Got a fw more weeks to go yet for players to impress.

 

[Disco]

at this stage, pending Orfords form on return, i'd go with

6.Carney
7.Orford

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Least Orford has a bit of experience (He has played a fair bit City-Country) and can provide a level head to the much less experienced Carney.

Imagine Carney and Mullen together -- they have played about 25 FG games between them.

 

[Duff]

I'd love to see Carney, Mullen, Kurt Gidley & Brett Stewart all given a run in the same team, it'd be spectacular. We'd out-Queensland Queensland.

 

[Garts]

We would be spanked by Qld

 

[fLIP]

Why are we even considering running Orford on this weekend?

It would be like starting all over again!

 

[DSM5]

At this part of the season they'd pic Monas over Orford. Gower and Kimmorley are crap.
