Agreed. We already take one weekend off. One more wouldn't hurt anyone. I'd argue that 2 rounds of 4 **** games with all the best players out is more of a detriment than an extra week off.

UnlikelyPoor ole Dylan Walker is on a hiding to nothing.
Maybe Des will surprise is all and swap Harper and Walker.

Easy money. Sucked in Sports bet , I got in before Trbojevic was pulled.
There's a 0% win chance !
Des isn't an over .500 coach anymore.
People can whinge and peacock for him, but his last few years at Canterbury, plus the three back here has been terrible win % wise
Tom will be missing more games this season (three more) at the expense of Origin, and likely our season.
Let's hope he doesn't get injured in Origin..Games leading up they both backoff anyways (rewatch the Knights game for exhibit A).

Yep, we are 6-6. If this is not a crucial game I don't know what is.
Walker was a fish out of water for 4 weeks but was improving and it leaves all of the combinations that have been going well intact. Only other options would be Garrick or Harper, both would require significant reshuffles.

Looking ahead, to game 3 I think we have the Friday night game again FFS!

It is certainly going to re-ignite the whole one-man-team debate that's for sure. We will pay for a 0-4 start to the year.

Hasler prepares for tough contest against Cowboys
Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach Des Hasler says Dylan Walker and Kieran Foran are confirmed starters for tomorrow night’s home match against the North Qld Cowboys.

Hope you enjoy your death riding mate but Des is still at .568

Well, 6 wins, 6 losses equates to .500 by my maths? Maybe I'm wrong.
Like I said, we won 4-5 games in succession after winning 1 from 16. We are now losing again.
Is that death riding, or reality ? Maybe I should make the results up to sound better like you have ?
That's his career stats, including taking over perennial losers and turning them into premiership contenders/winners.

Garrick to FB, Koula to wing, I just don't trust Walker's defensive abilities, I've got serious reservations about our chances with Walker at the back, I can only hope he proves me wrong

How is that in any way relevant to his current results / recent seasons ?
Hasn't the game changed over that time ?
Not sure how looking at 2008 (for example) is an indicator or his current trends (last 5 years).
Anyways, , we'll see on Friday if we are a one player team, and Tommy is carrying us results wise.

Going to my first manly home game tomorrow night with the family and kids. Sorry but it does put a bit of a downer on it.
When you threw out less than .500 with no other parameters I assumed you were talking about career stats. If you were talking about this year only then he is still an exactly .500 coach.
Aren't we all man child's?I think you should consult with his GF first.
(juvenile humour…yes. But I’m a man child so I can get away with it)

Not sure where our points come from without Tom or Schuster… we’ll show up in defence though. Still a chance

I said he's not over .500 "anymore", then specifically said last few years at Bulldogs , and three back with us.
Anyways, Origin is good, but I think it should be outside of the season proper.
There are players who step back and play within themselves the week before in my opinion (to avoid injury) - which is why I put10 bucks on the Knights last weekend , then rest after the rep game. Frustrates me.
I love that my favourite ever Manly player knocked back Origin (Jamie Lyon) to focus on the club when we were struggling. Bloke was all class. People will bring up the leaving of Parramatta, but how Smith treated him when his wife was heavily sick was disgusting (and a lot of people don't know that story).
