You nobs aint foolin' no one!

So I hear Manly are playing this weekend?


Team Analysis: Manly coach Des Hasler has been forced to make some changes to last week’s inspiring team after Tom Trbojevic (hamstring) and Dylan Walker (ankle) both succumbed to injuries that will keep them sidelined for six weeks. Capable outside back Brendan Elliot will wear Tommy Turbo’s No.1 jersey, while Lachlan Croker comes into the halves to replace Dylan Walker and Cade Cust will take Croker’s bench utility spot Hitmen Jorge Taufua and Martin Taupau are huge additions.

Missing Tom, Walker and Suli. The only 3 players in our backline that either score or create trys. Sharkies backline will cut us to pieces out wide. Just keep bombing to Jorge they'll score plenty. Last week was gutsy but that won't last, cant keep playing on heart week after week. Sharks x 16.

 

[40 nil]

Just keep bombing to Jorge

Katoa is in good form & could be a danger man. To utilise his speed, the Sharks will probably grubber behind Jorge & also try to position Katoa on his outside with cut out passes.

 

[Brissie Kid]

I'm confident Manly at full strength can go toe to toe with any team in 2020 and can prevent the blowout scenario that seems rife in the NRL. I'm worried now if the Sharks get all the early momentum they will skip out 18 or 20 points and we're no chance of running them down.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Not sure why the doom and gloom, Townsend will kick out on the full, Johnson will run in circles, Dugan will drop the ball, Moylan will strain his calf muscle and Ramien will only get 3 touches. Graham is the danger but Siro has him covered.

That cellar of yours must take up some real estate MFB.

 

[mickqld]

Wow even the tits can clobber the donkeys yet we struggled to beat them at full strength. I fear tomorrow will burst the bubble and show we really aren't anywhere near a top 4 side. I actually think with no Tom or Walker we'll struggle to make the 8 now.

Thanks Mick - the Mock Whisperer.

240 bottles at maximum capacity , there’s less than 150 in there now.

 

[grassy]

I can see Siro having a blinder tomorrow. We will be too tough for the sharks.I just hope we don’t start playing catch up footy and hold onto the ball like it’s gold.Manly 32 sharks 8.

[Terry Zarsoff]

I know. We’re looking good when he posts that stuff.
