PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Tigers [Round 1, 2019]

[Chip and Chase]

Wackos Whispers has Tangles still under a fitness cloud due to knee injury. Must complete Captains run on Friday to be confirmed starter. Perrett into 17 if Tangles ruled out

 

[BOZO]

I have huge issues with our backline Bozo. It is plain ordinary but they are weakened out there too. Our first class forwards can get us a win if we defend well. Throw Nofoaluma and Mbye in there and they win. Throw Tommy and Walker in there as well and we probably win. Comp is so close. Have to get over the line in winnable games and this is winnable

Main worry for me is Marshall getting his outside backs on our outside shoulder with his massive long passes. If we let him do that we are cooked. You can’t make tackles if you don’t get there and they eat us for pace.

The old man Marshall does not worry me and I have confidence in our backs . Elliott has pace and also is safe at f/back . Garrick is a flyer and a great defencer, Suli is the biggest block busting back , Jorge is also on hard mother fcker to stop in full flight and Parker is playing in his preffered centre position with a lot more confidence than last season. I am sure Des has seen our backs potential and would have them pumped up and primed up for a win .

Do not let last seasons Trent terror terrify you this season . This season we are a new team . We are born again under Des !

Not good if the big man misses. Has such an impact. Powderpuff bench without him unless Perrett wakes up and realised he has talent. Thought we would win this but no Tangles and it’s tough. Marty and AFB off = points.

Winterstein was one to get rid of, Perret’s the other.

I think his middle name must be “ powderpuff “.

Agree he’s big enough, but that’s all he’s got!

 

[Andyvb88]

Is Marsters out?

 

[BOZO]

Is Marsters out?

I hope he plays so big Suli can smash him .

 

[Jigzkiller]

Is Marsters out?

Let's hope.

Where did you hear this ? If true big blow for tigers
Still think tigers by 8 our backline still way too weak.

There's a good chance it will be wet, I think forwards will decide this one.

 

[Class of 96]

Manly 14-10. Low scoring slugfest in wet conditions with our forwards winning the arm wrestle.

If it’s wet I’ll change my pick on Saturday as that could take the backs out of the equation to a certain extent.

I’m not worried about their attack....it’s their defence that concerns me!

 

[Sheikheagle]

Is Marsters out?

No read somewhere he has been in NZ for family matter but will be back in time to play Saturday.

 

[BOZO]

I’m not worried about their attack....it’s their defence that concerns me!

I am not worries about their defence this season . This season players are under a different head master .

We have difference defensive structures . Des has always been big on defence

This season is a season of change and we will see it on the field .

Forget last season . This is a new year with a new approach and a new attitude .

 

[Harvies elbow]

Nah, I think you're a funny man!

Geez your bloody easy pleased W64...

 

[fLIP]

With Don Singe back I'm looking forward to a full 80min effort for the first time in nearly half a decade.

Win or lose their legs will be up to it.

The guy's a legend imho.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Marsters went back to NZ for a funeral (his grandad I think). He'll be back before the game

Agree he’s big enough, but that’s all he’s got!

Speaking of which.....whatever happened to the PPC - Powder Puff Crew ?? They have been quiet of late

Bingo !!! You are a very smart guy !

Looking forward to a full 80 minutes you say ? So do I feathered friend
.

Last years coach was not capable of lifting our team to compete for the full 80 minutes as they often fell apart as we watched other teams finish us off after we were leading .

It is things like this that a new coach brings to the team to make them more competitive .

I am glad you can see this mate . Some on here are stuck to last year .

Perhaps they ran out of Puff ???
