PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Dragons v Manly [Round 3, 2021]

[highlandeagle]

I

I really don’t understand the Schuster selection in the back row but I guess I’m happy to go with it. Otherwise nothing changes. Far East it’s round 3 and I’m already over team list Tuesday. Hopefully this is a Des smokescreen

The only smoke screen is from the funny stuff Des must be smoking. Seriously. Garrick, Parker Croker and Boyle ffs .If Sipley Funa Harper don't come into the side some one should book the rubber room for Dorothy. Fair dinkum

 

[Snake]

Tuipulotu any chance of coming in as a Garrick replacement or does the 1-17 look reasonably set, mate?

At this stage, we are as per program. You just never know what Des will do but Walker is training at the back again this week.

 

[simon64]

Anyone else terrified at the prospect of Garrick v Ravalawa?

I am now. Thanks Uk eagle. Someone get me some nurofen.

damn it Desmond! I want Tuipulotu

 

[Dion Johnson]

Walker will play 1 again.

For me there was some good signs in Walkers game last week..

Hopefully he builds on that and gets some confidence back..

I thought the same... had some good runs.

I also don’t think it’s helpful changing the spine every week, that won’t solve anything.

MADNESS!!!!!

Yeah much better to stick with what's failing. If he seriously cannot see that Walker would better off for the team at center , Cust at #9 , Harper or Funa at fullback and Parker and Garrick out then we deadset have no hope of getting a single win all year.

 

[Remy]

It's so frustrating knowing Dylan hasn't played his only position, centre, since June 2019. That is a whole year and a half ago. Matter of fact, since winning dally m centre of the year in 2017 he's only played 11 games in centre. Yes he had the whole video game incident that sidelined him for a while and also a couple of injuries but that is soooooo sadddd. Just put him where he belongs and see how he goes.

 

[lulubelle]

The selected team is a joke. More of the same over and over. We will lose against the crap Dragons. The ultimate embarrassment.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Another reaming ( sans Lube) coming!!

 

[Brookie Bob]

I hope he has more confidence this week.

 

[lulubelle]

My team given what is available.
1.Harper
2.Saab
3.Walker
4 Suli
5 Garrick
6.Foran
7 Cherry
8 Paseka
9 Cust
10 Tapau
11 Gosweiski
12 Keppie
13 Trobejwich

14 Shuster
15 Aloiai
16 Sipley
17 Boyle

We can't afford two hookers. Pick one. I'd prefer Cust to Croker. But pick one!!!!
Of course Des won't pick this side.

 

[lulubelle]

Parker has been solid but he is not the future. Left him out. But won't happen. Des loves him.

 

[Brookie Bob]

We can't afford two hookers. Pick one.

That old Saturday night debate - never gets old.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Zero Chance. Dragons 20+

Agree

 

[The Royal Soup]

Get ready to lose this week and then get pumped by Penrith the week after and be 0/4 and firmly on the bottom of the ladder

this will be the year we win the spoon

 

[Will on the hill]

Those numbers are completely false. He's played 77 games overseas, and 12 for his nation, and won many.

Not completely false, just his nrl numbers. I was also definitely joking, I don't believe in hoodoos, just statistical anomalies.

 

[Chip and Chase]

We've won once in Wollongong in 9 attempts, and that was in 2003. Long time between celebratory drinks at WIN. Can't see that trend changing this week.

 

[Kevinward777]

I'm actually feeling good about this game. A win is coming!
