PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Dragons v Manly [Round 6, 2019]

[Tragic Eagle]

The good thing for us is Hunt's inconsistency. This feature of his game is psychological and he is unlikely to have two good ones in a row. Having said that the Saints have a strong roster and will be very hard to beat at home. If we get the same treatment from the yellow shirts this weekend we have no chance unless we get away to a flyer again.

Solid march ups all over the park. Will be a very interesting contest that's for sure

The team for this week

 

[Chip and Chase]

So does Tangles or Lance come in for AFB if he doesn't get off tonight ?? I'm leaning towards Tangles as most likely option

 

[effnic]

I hate playing the Dragons. We just can never beat them. Please just keep it close Manly.

 

[MW66]

Interesting that Boyle and Smith are listed on extended reserves bench. Therefore both must be Top 30.

 

[Andyvb88]

Afb named!

 

[Brissie Kid]

The charge itself was only a minor one and he wouldn't have been suspended if he didn't have a prior loading.

It is ridiculous that prior offences make the punishment worse, while the fact he spent 10 minutes in the sin bin counts nothing.

The highest score they ever had against them is against us . We humiliated them by 64 points to nil

I am not suggesting that in our current rebuilding stage we will win by 64 points this week but as a realist after watching our teams resilience unfold and team character building , I think we have a very good chance of beating the Dragons

61 nil mate Easter 94.

Thanks to the JDB court case this maybe one game where we get better treatment and win the penalty count.

Tbh would have been shocked if he got off...

To be honest, who really thought that he would win his appeal? I know that I didn't but I was living in hope that he would.

Not with the Manly loading in place.

As disappointing as this news is

The good news is that we will find another way to win the games no bastard gave us a chance of winning this year under adversity .

Another test of character for our Sea eagles .

Boyle will get his chance and cream them.

Am I the only one, or do others think that we would do better with Tanginoa in the side ahead of Gosiewski or possibly Waddell? They seem quite similar really...both have an upside, but they’re not game breakers (yet). Whereas, I think that having Tanginoa on the bench gives us that x-factor to break a line open or pull off a massive hit.

Both boys are doing fine, can’t fault their time on the field - but I do reckon we just have a bit more in the tank with a dynamic meat-axe like Tangles off the bench.
