PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Cowboys [Round 14, 2021]

Simply a must win game tonight in my eyes..we have to beat teams around us. The only way I see a win is making this game a real slug fest and keeping cowboys to below 14 points.

if we make it a you score, I score type of game cowboys have way too many points in them I think.

very interesting last minute changes.

Personally I would of left Garrick on wing, and harper to full back. Walker to centre with Parker.

Parkers defence will be missed at centre. Suli will be a sitting duck with his turnstyle defence and poor reads with cowboys speedy outside backs. Hope he proves me wrong, dont see parker as a winger.
 
I dont see Garrick as a full back, he just does not know how to inject himself in the backline. Surely harper would be more effective and can beat a player one on one and has improved defence

sea eagles site showing parker on wing, harper at centre?
 
Personally, I think Suli is a left side player. With Foran inside him, there is the possibility he will receive early ball & wreak a bit of havoc. Let's hope so :clap:
Hopefully, but whoever is outside him is in for a cold and lonely night. Good to see Foz back on deck. He might just get us over the line.

Game plan has to be give Suli good early ball, at least he can beat a player and create something. Without Tom, Shuster and a creative 9 points will be hard to come by.

Forwards just need to roll forward over the advantage line and hope DCE and Foran can put a few players in some holes
 
Seems like only yesterday we didn't have a decent second rower to put on the field. Now we seem to have more than we can use.
