Pre-Game Panthers v Manly [Round 6, 2023]

[Eagle 1]

No,no no,no to Johns on bench. We need more fire-power up front. Sipley or Fainu needs to be on bench. Panthers are missing Fisher Harris and Martin. We MUST dominate in the forwards if that slow arse backline has any chance of posting points. Seriously it's the slowest most impotent center pairing in the NRL. This is a cautious move and doesn't give me any confidence that Seibold is a risk taker. We have to throw up something the Panfers won't like to have any chance here. Fuking Harper isn't it.

Agree, what is going on with John's pick, Lawton can cover the backs. Big tactical blunder here would love to be proved wrong Sips needs to be added no brainer really.

It seems Saab has bulked up a bit. Im intrigued as to whether it will affect his speed or whether he can make better post contact metres as a result. It will be interesting.

Apparently he’s put on 4kgs but still running as fast, hitting his PB in training, according to Seibs.

Seibs said he equaled his PB which was a key indicator he was ready to return, so his lost no speed, hopefully the bulk gives him a bit extra in the contact.

Sorry should of read to the end of the thread, just repeated what you’ve already said.

I just hope we remember how to tackle today. I'm dreading what they'll do to the Harper and Saab combo. Though Garrick and Parker were just as bad last week

Defend like we did against Souths and we have a chance...defend like we did against Parra and Newcastle and 50+ is not unrealistic.

We need to win this up the middle, we wont go around them.

Seibs said in his presser yesterday that Saab had equaled his PB in sprint testing which is a pretty good sign!

We are light-on in the backs, which is further reason why we shouldn't have let the promising centre Feledy (sic) go to the Tigers. He reminded me of a Jamie Lyon-type player in the making. I imagine he'll make his debut next season for the Tigers.

I wonder how he feels over there now, dud decision to move. He would likely get picked for manly 1sts sooner than tigers will.

Looks like Manly considered Fletcher Myers just as promising if not a better prospect . Just have to see how that judgement goes
