PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Souths v Manly [Round 15, 2020]

Addin Fonua-Blake has passed his Friday fitness test and is set to make an early return from a knee injury in a critical inclusion to Manly's 17. Joel Thompson is also set to start after overcoming a gruesome tongue injury last week. An ACL injury to stand-in fullback Brendan Elliot means Reuben Garrick returns to the back with Jorge Taufua recalled on the wing.

Marty Taupau is back at prop after a head knock with Jake Trbojevic named at lock and Corey Waddell back to the pine. Cade Cust is expected to play despite some bumps last week, while Jack Gosiewski, who also copped some bruises, has been named in the reserves.

How good
What an inclusion

Still gotta be ??? on the fitness of AFB, Marty, Sirro and Thommo. None of them will be near 100%. It's only because we're at desperation stakes that they're in.

But we only need them at 60% to be effective.

Just having them all there should give the squad such a boost of confidence.

Yes we are at desperation stakes but will happily have them playing than sitting on the sidelines.
 
I’ve had a change of mind this game. If AFB plays we win. Three dollars is silly.
Afb? Big call... We have Garrick at the back if he is exposed again we will get polaxed by the Grub broz latrine and Cody. I hope your right but im thinking it will be souffs 13+
Liam knight isnt playing also which helps.
Cam Murray will shred us if we aren’t diligent
 
Have to get them through the middle, their pack is weak and ours is back to almost full strength. I hope we play with speed on both sides of the ball. Good service from Hooker will help. Need to pressure Reynolds' kicking game.
 
It will come down to containing the tempo Cook and Murray create through the middle and pressure Reynolds kicking game big time....tackle 4 and 5 need to halt momentum si Reynolds is not kicking on the front foot
