Possible Team v Storm

[bob dylan]

Had booked to go. Don't think I will bother now.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

FMD mid season tests etc should be banned

 

[lsz]

Have we had this many players out since the roosters game in 2011?

Too bad, you could have been on the run on side 😛

 

[bob dylan]

Edited again with news DCE injured.

Not first grade material mate. Bob would be a better option IMO.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Beaver time.

 

[tookey]

What is wrong with Brett Stewart?

 

[Brissie Kid]

Probably meant Glenn Stewart.

 

[silvereagle]

Assuming cherry, choc and Jamie out of contention, my team would be;
1 B Stewart
2 J Taufua
3 P Hiku
4 S Matai
5 C Blair
6 J Littlejohn
7 J Hodges
8 J Starling
9 M Ballin
10 B Lawrence
11 L Sao
12 J Horo
13 J Burher

14 D Lui
15 J King
16 D Harrison
17 JSL

I have watched the NSW Cup boys go around against the Bears a few weeks back and Newtown last week. Good wins on both occasions and very impressive performances from Jayden Hodges, Ligi Sao and Daniel Harrison. Hodges continues to impress every time I watch him play. He is a very busy livewire hooker / halfback and can tackle. I can’t believe the change in Ligi Sao....brutal front on defence and good ball running. Daniel Harrison is a very good ball playing second rower and was my MOM against the Bears. Cheyse Blair was playing great for us in 1st grade so not sure why he got dropped. Great opportunity for these guys to step up to the plate. Even better opportunity for tv to assess the options amongst top company.

 

[Shoe1]

Halves out? We usually call up Rick Chisholm and Martin Meredith in this situation.

 

[bones]

Rudolph will probably play at half.

 

[RiverEagle]

This is getting ridiculous now.

Whatever team we manage to field, if they win it will be epic!

(Reminds me of a knockout semi against the Raiders in '91......We had players out and injuries galore..no chance...And we almost got up. Gary Coyne scored four tries against us that day, but it's efforts like that which are very special).

We may well need something like that this week, if not a miracle.

 

[HappilyManly]

Surprised that The DT doesn't have us linked to Bunji today 😛

 

[Brissie Kid]

Reminds of 1987 during Origin & injuries when no one gave us a chance against full strength Dogs. Compare the Manly team that day to the one that won the grand final a few months later. No Lyons, O'Connor, Shearer, Vautin, Williams, Daley. Pity is not on youtube.

Harrigan got us. Shocking calls in that game. I think we also lost Toovey early in the game when 'accidentially' he got liniment in his eyes in a tackle.

 

[EagleRock40]

1.Snake
2.Taufua
3.Hiku
4.Matai
5.Blair
6.BEAVER
7.Littlejohn
8.Lawrence
9.Ballin
10.Starling
11.Symonds
12.Horo
13.Buhrer
14.Lui
15.King
16.Sene-Lefao
17.Hasson or Hodges

Still a pretty good side, nobody playing out of position.

Not sure I'd throw Beaver into no.6 and having to run all the attack on one side. I'd sooner put Snake at 6, Hiku to 1, Symonds in the centres, Beaver to back row. Wolfie on the wing not Blair.

Buhrer (for DCE on right) & Littlejohn (for Foran on left) with Snake on the sweep plays (left & right sides). Which probably means keeping the EagleRock40 team as is except swap Beaver & Buhrer.

 

[RiverEagle]

Yep @Brissie Kid...Harrigan never gave us a fair go.

I agree with @bones that maybe Rudolph gets a run. Hodges too looks a likely type...Will ultimately depend on exactly who is fit, or otherwise.

A chance for these young guys to step up, and extra great if we jag a win.

 

[1969]

I'm with bones on this one. I'd give this young kid Bindi Irwin a run. Recon she might be a handy defender with her strong croc wrestling skills. Also, someone suggested to bring back the Beaver?
