PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Parramatta v Manly [Round 4, 2020]

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Last game at Bankwest, Garrick started at fullback with Elliot marking Sivo. This was a mismatch & a disaster. AFB started at left edge, which also didn't go very well.

We had heaps of players out and yes it was garrick at fb.. i guess dessie wanted to give him a go before the finals. Garrick would be better than elliot if he trained at fb hes alot faster and has more skill

Unsurprising.

Think he’ll give these guys at least 3-4 weeks together ( barring injury) before rotation might begin.

Elliot is a little bit of a surprise in the 21(like last week) guess he needs to be there to include Funa.

Think I read somewhere that all nrl clubs have dispensation to use their development players for the rest of the season. Can anyone confirm?

My bad, looks like that's only the Warriors.

Yes, I can confirm I read that somewhere.

Nothing to do with Funa though as he is in our top 30. Maybe I didn't explain very well the part you quoted. I meant that Elliott should be next cab off the rank and to include Funa in the 21 then I would think Elliott has to be there too.

Ah ok, on the same page now. I think those last 2 spots are not likely to be used unless something unforeseen happens. Elliot probably covers FB, 5/8 centre, Funa covers wing. Funa could also be there as an encouragement award. " Keep it up, you're nearly there."

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Still think we will see some rotation go on , particularly in the forwards.

Last game vs Eels it was "That start"....Eels offloaded early at will and blew us off the park.
Manly took a while to get into the game and can't afford these type of head starts, particularly when you know refs are going to give blocks of 3-4 straight sets when they feel like it....
Fainu was dynamic off the bench that night and the comeback was gutsy, but the horse bolted early....always a tall order after that opening 20....
I reckon they will attempt the same plan...offloads and bringing the wingers in too bend the line and create momentum early.
If matched early, Eels they will set for cross field bombs to Jorge and by jorge, I hope his mates are around to support him.
Manly can do this and the $2.30 is excellent odds...roll them into Sharks vs Cows missing Taumololo and you get 7/1.

Suli resigning hat trick?

Suli resigning hat trick?

Hope so for the sake of my SC team

I was just reading about parramatta's first 3 games this round... The only way their draw could have been any softer is if they had played the Dragons instead of the Broncos.

They will be a stern test for us but I think their position on the ladder relative to us is very deceptive thanks to the opening draw.

Hand picked draw last couple of years.. the nrl wants them to succeed its so obvious its hilarious. We all know they will fail

Just hoping we play a big role in their inevitable failure.
