Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles

Team List etc. will be updated on Tuesday Afternoon (08/04/25)

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We lost , they lost , both have to be better.

That said 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷

 

[mickqld]

Wait till the gummies pump us next week. Club on the skids and tearing itself apart will be an understatement.

 

[Nambawan]

If we go in again with cast offs Dads' Army pack we won't have much chance.

 

[Phobia]

I would love to see:

1. Hoppa
2. Saab
3. Koula
4. Garrick
5. Talau (SURELY he's back...)
6. Brooks
7. DCE (screw on your head mate)
8. Aloiai
9. Croker (SURELY he's back too...)
10. Taukeiaho
11. Olakau'atu
12. Burbo
13. Jake
14. Tevaga (hooker for 10 mins max, play him as a prop)
15. Navale
16. Bullemor
17. Brown

If your aging forwards can't keep up for long amounts of time, then give them shorter stints! We have a player in Tevaga that can play prop and cover hooker. We should be using that ability better, rather than just use him for 20 mins as a starting makeshift hooker.

Navale deserves a shot over Waddell. I really don't understand why Waddell has been on our bench. Bullemor covers basically the same positions as him.

Sipley is past it.

 

[Budgie]

The vastly different turnaounds make this one tough for us. Conventional wisdom says you should be in Perth five days before you play (after the long flight. Hopefully we leave tomorrow

 

[Damien2812]

Sharks have lost 2 games straight and will be out to win. Traditionally Manly beat the Sharks, but I can see us losing this one. Sharks 13++

 

[Eagle 1]

Sharks pack led by AFB will be smelling blood in the water aftet todays effort. We'll just have to give it our best shot and just go for the it.

Seibs said in the presser that the team leaves tomorrow for Perth.

 

[Thewestisbest]

Siebs said Talagi and Croker due back round 7. Saab high ankle sprain. No Turbo, Saab, Talagi. Our backline is looking very weak next round. I'd actually play Garrick on a wing and bring in a centre in Schoup.


Hoppa
Faulslo
Koula
Schoup
Garrick
Brooks
DCE

 

[ALinda]

Siebs said Talagi and Croker due back round 7.

It's Talau and Croker due back in round 7.

 

[Sheikheagle]

They leave on a flight at 6am this morning

 

[Michael Clare]

Hoping you're wrong, but I suspect you might be right on the money.

 

[mave]

Navale deserves a shot over Bullemor.

I've read some ridiculous stuff on here, most of it from one poster......but this is certainly up there.

I hope that was a typo. Otherwise wtf.

Yep... Massive typo. That was supposed to be Waddell. Thanks for alerting me.

 

[Thewestisbest]

I did one too. With Talau.

 

[Sheikheagle]

We are flying out tomorrow for a few days down in Margaret River before going to the game. Lets hope they perform better than the **** show of yesterday. Went to the game yesterday and left with 20 to go. I have been going to Brookie for over 50 years and cant remember leaving so early. 🫣

On 9 they showed a large chunk of the crowd leaving at the back of the hill exit, at about the same time. No Eagle Rock playing this time.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Navale, Patolo, Willett, Chee Kam (for example) aren’t in the top 30. So… can’t be used till later in the year? (Sorry I know this was explained but I forget) 🤷‍♂️
