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

I've got Manly 16-8. It looks to be wet, and I think in those games the team with the better pack and the better game plan wins. We outclass the Tigers in almost every position in the forwards, and we've seen DCE dominate so many games in the wet. I'm tipping our middle men to bully the Tigers' pack, and on the back of it, DCE's kicking game will drive the Tigers into submission. The wet weather will also nullify the skill difference in the Tigers' outside backs.

I think having Parker will actually be beneficial in the wet. Suli is the only major concern I have, specifically his hands.
 
His first game against the warriors a few years ago.... He stopped the unstoppable with an amazing tackle

He absolutely shut him out of the whole game . Which shows that he is a capable player .
He now has an opportunity under Des . Looking forward to seeing big Red in action this year
 
I am one of the 1% that rates Parker, and have been severely flayed for such a misguided opinion in the past. However, regardless of the relentless abuse and ridicule, I shall remain firm in my backing for the lad! And come hell or high water, armed with my non-finest of reds, my belief shall not waiver.

But for a few poor games at the back end of last year. Parker has been solid in first grade without dominating. Centre is where he likes to play. This gameg is played between the ears. Belief and Confidence is everything.

I think we will see some games this year where Parker dominates and cuts others to shreds with his lanky running game.

Give the kid a go.
