Pre-Game Penrith V Manly [Round 14, 2024]

[Denno]

Panthers not playing great themselves this season,beat them once and we’ll beat them again!!!!

 

[Sheikheagle]

Yep. He's even listed as #21.

Ok I see he is listed in the media but not by the club. Im assuming an oversight as it would be crazy not having him as cover in 21.

Panthers v Sea Eagles: Edwards a chance; Hoppa gets fullback gig

The Panthers and Sea Eagles will be sweating on the availability of their Origin stars as they head into a crucial Round 14 showdown at BlueBet Stadium on Sunday.

This is such an exciting 17 named this week. Speed to burn in Hopoate, Saab and Koula. It's such a strong squad all-round and also some great impact players coming off the bench. Our strongest line-up of the season so far imho, even without Tom. If our Origin Trio come through unscathed I believe we are certainties to beat a Cleary-less Panthers outfit. Infact I wouldn't be surprised if we blow them off the park.

Manly 34 Panthers 18

Really pleased to see Hoppa at 1. I didn’t think he’d be a chance with Koula back. Also think he will feed a lot of early ball to Tolu. Should be a good contest vs Tago. We beat em up in the forwards like the first time , we can win this one.

Very happy Lehi kept his spot.

Good stuff Siebs.

Personally I'd prefer him to miss this game, but, can understand the reasoning behind Lehi playing. And I'll be100% behind the kid come Sunday arvo.

Hoppa does read the play very well, his positioning at the back was very good against the Storm. The errors he was making early on in NSW cup were not there.

Koula looked good with the ball against the Donkeys, hard to gauge who is the better option.

Looks a stronger team with both Koula and Hoppa in it, hoping Hoppa continues to build on his debut and he gets his chance to make the jumper his and put pressure on Turbo when he is ready to go.

Our sweeping backline movements in attack is where Lehi will really come into his own, just need time and space for this kid to do his stuff.

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Fisher-Harris likely to have a stronger game against us this time. The last game was his first coming back from a long injury layoff and was very quiet as a result. Need Browny and co to take it to the leader of their pack again.

 

[The Who]

If Edwards plays it will take some explanation.
I'm doubtful about Leota. You don't recover from a hamstring twinge in one week.

 

[Ryan]

Very happy Lehi kept his spot.

Good stuff Siebs.

Agree , have to give him credit for taking a risky, but potentially highly rewarding move ..

 

[Ryan]

That'll do me, on form picking the best centre we have on the wing... way to go ****bold

I worry about anyone who crosses you God.

But FMD, can you give me a break in life for once? Just something / anything for me to hold onto, going forward? Or is my pain & misery a subject of humour up there in heaven ?

P.S. My whole family are with you. Why haven't those pricks done anything to help me either. Please get your arse kicking boots out.

Thanks God.

Just had a look no offical away bay at panthers stadium

Sold out, isn’t it?

 

[Hibyemama]

1. Hoppa
2. Saab
3. Garrick
4. Talau
5. Koula

Thats what I think is best.
Koula is great playing wing and Talau should be centre.

Seriously..back on your meds please..hahaha
Koula on the Wing..

Garrick should be on the wing and Talau and Koula should be our centre pairing.

But this won't happen because Talau will have another strong game on the wing anyway and Seibs will keep him there.

If Garrick hogs the ball and bombs another try this week I'm going to make a sign that will fill the hill

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Seibold's selections have been good this week. However getting the lads motivated and in the right frame of mind is the litmus test.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

How the HELL is Waddell in front of Bullemor? Waddell has literally almost gifted the opposition two games with his butter fingers at the death.

A close call on form and ability. Bull seems more athletically gifted, but only seems to 'do his job' in defence. Whereas Waddell has shown a bit more toughness and attitude in his career so far. No world-beater but he'll scrap and claw to get a result. This attitude may have given him the edge here?

I reckon that's a pretty spot on assessment
