Hoppa wont be selected for 2 reasons:
1) Savage will be back from his 1 game suspension; and
2) He was poor against the Broncos letting in a few tries down his wing.

Still not keen on Turbo playing if there is any doubt on his fitness
,Attack was just too disjointed when he started to struggle and as so much of the attacking spread depends on him being able to inject and involve himself effectively .
Fair point by Voss 13 minutes after half time in that Turbo was just not sighted in the general attacking plays up to that point and a series of mistakes for a good part of the i st half when he was no doubt also impeded mobility wise.
A match fit and willing Lehi at the back surely a batter option then a doubtful Turbo match fitness wise but if Turbo is relatively good to go , all good
Sure that a fit Koula will really help in the centres and Garrick was quite solid there last week .
As is generally accepted , Taukeiaho should offer some much needed improvement in the pack .
Bench make up still or would think a bit of an open question , Sipley still looks a bit fitter this season and goes all right in stages , Alioia a mixed bag , Waddell reliable but that is just about it .
Side showed a bit of spirit in that brief comeback but just too many unforced errors and again disjointed play [ including defence ] in general cruelled them .
Hopefully a few handy inclusions and some better overall focus can make the difference against an inform Raiders .
Tend to go all right against the Raiders historically but going to need quite a turnaround in performance level and game approach to allow that to continue on Sunday

Timoko, Raiders centre got taken off in the 2nd half. He's one powerfull centre, fingers crossed he wont play.

This game might be all about the late off load.
Its a crazy conundrum. As we team we seem a bit risque with the ball but not many of our fwds seem to be offloading all that much
As we know if you torture the data long enough it will always tell you what you wanted to know.
But gee looking at some of those stats and you could make a case for the relative table positions to be reversed. Anyways go Manly !!!
I think that comes down to wanting to get it to the edges asap in the tackle count to use our "weapons " maybe. That offloads stat is quite a marked difference between the teams .
I wonder how we rate in the overall on that stat ?
Regardless Manly needs to stop them being able to offload in any case .
Is tapine back this week? 🫣

At Brookvale Oval vs Canberra since 2016:
2016 Canberra 44-30
2017 Manly 21-20
2018 Manly 32-16
2019 Manly 24-20
2021 Canberra 30-16
2024 Canberra 26-24
Canberra has only once beaten Manly three times in a row at Brookie (1998, 1999 & 2003), although between the 2nd and 3rd game was the Northern Eagles time.

Thanks for the info feathered friend
Tapine is a Big Name but the rest of the Raiders pack Stepped Up and had Big Games without him
The Key to Winning when your best player is out is to Step Up
Step up , Believe , Take Control , Deliver and Achieve !
Message this week to Seibold and our Manly Boys
Step Up or Step Aside
Playing for Manly is not just a Joy Ride
It is a Serious Journey towards Premiership Winning Greatness
We have no Time for Time Wasters
Step Up or Step Aside !

Last year this Manly team showed the Raiders they could be a very mentally weak team and beat themselves if a team just applies a bit of pressure even at Brookvale.
I think the Squad would need to show a bit to win this week.
