PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Warriors [Round 9, 2021]

[Mitch]

Yep he’ll be on Pompey with Hank on Berry.

That’s if Aitken doesn’t make a return.

 

[Waz13]

That’s if Aitken doesn’t make a return.

Talk on warriors forum is if authentic comes in at Centre Pompey to the wing for the new kid. Aitken will be on Moses side.

Warriors side has several players I've never heard of, so looks like both sides will be quite inexperienced by NRL standards.
Their winger doesn't even have a photo on the official NRL game page!
@tajhay are these guys any good?

 

[The Wheel]

Quite a few late changes to our flegg side today (which lost against Souffs) - possibly because the NRL squad guys are in the bubble or because Burbo will debut tomorrow

 

[The Wheel]

No changes

Sea Eagles team cut for Warriors match

Katoa was named in the Warriors back row to return but is now out with Bailey Sironen replacing him. That’s a decent loss for them.

CHT and Aitken still on their extended bench.

 

[globaleagle]

So does this mean Harper is ok to play?

 

[The Wheel]

So does this mean Harper is ok to play?

My guess is yes, otherwise Funa or Suli would have come in if he was definitely out

Stop harping on about it you suli moose

 

[47MVEagle]

Has Des kept Suli on the bench in case either Harper or Garrick succumb to their (rumoured) injuries during the game?

I honestly cant see Des using Suli for forwards rotation so seems a bit risky having him instead of another forward on the bench - unless its a smokescreen for Burbo to come onto the bench for Suli & play second row rotation?

Awww, it's not as if I've been asking Daly, just now and again.

My guess is Harper’s still in doubt... Suli to centre and Burbo onto the bench.

Not kidding the Final word, only talked about the actual game in the last 20 seconds.

 

[Mataiforever]

If Suli comes back, will he be defending Pompey? If so, we’re f@cked, and Harper will be straight back in the side.

do you think pompey is really that much of a threat?

I'm more worried about walsh playing. CHT back i think is a positive for us because like for like on positions DCE game manages CHT way better. the way warriors win against us is quick footy and walsh, rts, nikorima taking advantage of momentum. if we can slow the ruck we'll win easy.

CHT not match fit and was very lacklustre to start the year

'tom will become one of the greats of the game theres no doubt about that'
love that.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Jeez this is an important game , win and we are going to be bloody close to the top 8 ( who’d of thought ).

I’m in range tonight and tomorrow and have the Caravan Sat system up so will be good to be chatting during the game day thread tomorrow.

 

[Ranga]

I'll pay this: Turbo's team mates have been calling him 'Slats' - Michael Slater - because he has been stuck in the 90s for so long.

‘They’ve started calling me Slats’: Trbojevic finally gets out of nervous nineties

Manly teammates have nicknamed Tom Trbojevic “Michael Slater” because he has been stuck in the “nervous nineties” for so long. Today he finally notches up his 100th NRL game.
