Don't forget guys, at the Regatta, the toilet has those one way mirrors, so you can all pee while looking out over the guests!

[1969]

Api is 5/8, Cust on the bench...

https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/05/07/round-9-nrl-squad-announcements/

 

[HappilyManly]

Nase should play 5/8 but numbers on jerseys mean little

Jorge is a fast healer

 

[double hoops]

Both Cust and Docker-Clay in the team list. Now I know we may have got an exemption for Docker Clay with all our halves being injured.

But if Cust is fit ie he on the bench of 19 does that mean Docker-Clay must have been added to the top 30 paid?

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Not sure about Api at 5/8.

Not sure about Fainu at Hooker for 80 minutes.

Prefer to see maybe Cust given a go.

 

[stoodamire]

Naming Api at 6 might be a smokescreen to take the spotlight off Cust making a debut.

More will be revealed when the squad get cuts down to 19 on Thursday

 

[Cliffymagic]

Api can play 80 min and move to hooker when fainu needs a rest.

[Peter C]

I took that photo, that’s part of the 2012 WCC tour group at Manchester Airport straight off the Etihad flight.

Very sad to see Uwe in that photo, brings back memories of a great trip

 

[Indy0204]

Not sure about Api at 5/8.

Not sure about Fainu at Hooker for 80 minutes.

Prefer to see maybe Cust given a go.

I agree, I think the team works a lot better with Api and Manase sharing the hooking. Neither are the fittest blokes going around. Hopefully we don't lose too much punch through the middle. I'm holding out hope that Des is doing a Robbo and is going to name Cust an hour before kick off.

 

[Shoe1]

Good old noddy:

Brett Kimmorley says
Dessie has the Eagles flying – he is such a great defensive coach. Manly don’t make many poor decisions or leak many poor defensive tries. Manly’s big pack of forward will want to take the more highly-talented Brisbane pack apart. Brisbane need to start winning – you can have all the talent in the world but if you aren’t willing to fight tooth and nail you aren’t going to win many games. Their season is nearly all over. Broncos by 2

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I think this team is a Dessie smokescreen, similar to the very late inclusion of Croker a couple of weeks ago.
Cust to play half, Api hooker with Fainu back to bench and probably tanginoa (otherwise Boyle) to drop off.
Miski is cover for Jorge.
Api may still be in doubt himself so the final lineup is anyone's guess!

 

[Budgie]

Surely the fact that both Cust and Docker Clay have been named in the 21 means Des is still thinking his way through this.

 

[davohan123]

Also to note Nsw cup has a bye this round
Nsw residents vs qld residents
So that is why I think Cade Cust will make his debut

 

[Kevinward777]

Most pumped I have been for a game so far this season.

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

At Brisbane during the Magic Round when Brisbane are 2 from 6 we will be up against the crowds, the refs and the Broncs. Tough assignment.

As they’re 2 from 8 it’s gonna be even harder
