PRE GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Broncos Round 5, 2020.

[SeaEagleRock8]

Broncos will be determined to improve, Manly will be determined to win. It may well come down to that being the difference!

Donkeys will be better but they are still a rabble.

Sure looks that way Mark, though I'm just a little wary of unpredictable possession swings with the 6 again rule. In reality, every NRL team has enough talent to win on a given day, given 'the rub of the green'. Even Titans Dogs and Warriors.

Time to remind Oates why Bennett would not let him play second row ...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Thursday night football , how strange that Chan 9 would pick Manly

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I think its a real danger game. 2 things we need to be careful of is the rebound and thinking the win is already locked in.
We need to start fast. Would love to see a few early tries and watch their heads go down.

I think that’s quite possible as I expect they won’t handle our initial “ thrust up the middle “ and could start with ruck infringements which means ( potentially ) lots of 6 agains.

I see huge gaps in our listed team

 

[Disco]

Apparently Paseka to start with AFB off the bench

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Funny thing is i was thinking we should do that for more impact off the bench. Afb can play long minutes as well..

 

[Tragic Eagle]

This is a good opportunity for Paseka I hope he makes the most of it.

Good move. Be Nice to have either Marty or AFB on the paddock for the bulk of the game. Will also put the acid on paseka to aim up.

Hasler: Looking forward to playing the Broncos

EVERY team?? Cue Dragons 😉
Apologies to my wife.

Interesting move if it happens. I wonder if Des wants to put him directly up against Haas to make a point, no reason you can't be doing what he does?

 

[40 years an eagle]

Been calling to split AFB and Kapow for 3 years.

Either of them paired with either of our bench props is a very solid 80 minutes I reckon.

Donkeys are a shadow of their past. They will have no answer to our forwards. Darius is past it and their halves are going around in circles. Not even the whistle assclowns can save them here. Manly by plenty.

AND that will be a truly beautiful thing!!

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Do you think benching AFB or Marty will put their hair braids out of joint?
Personally i think its a great idea to spread the talent of those 2 across 80min but you know what some guys are like. If I'm not starting I'm pissed off.

Where did you read this mate??

 

[Fibro Eagle]

It's worth a try
With Fafita out
Having Tapau and AFB on the field for the full 80 mins combined as in one on the other off
Could be a master stroke from Des
