It's only a game ...
In the recent game (v. Knights?) when Hoppa was selected in the 21, there was a lot of speculation whether he would debut. I wasn't surprised he was cut from the squad the day before the match as this has been Des's MO in the past, e.g. Funa was selected 2-3 times in the 21 at the end of last season but never made the 17. Similarly, Cust was selected a few times in the 21 in 2019 before he made the 17.
It seems Des is concerned about Hoppa's welfare and would prefer to ease him into the NRL. Thus, it could be that Jack starts in the centres with the plan to debut Hoppa off the bench at some time in the match. If Hoppa or another outside back is not selected in the 17, it will unbalance the side if an outside back is injured - necessitating 2 back rowers in the centres (again). I think this may be the most compelling reason why Hoppa will be selected in the 17. Then again, I won't be totally surprised is he left right out (again)

According to the boys’ insta stories they seem to be having a bonding poker night at Brookie in the chairman’s lounge tonight. I honestly think COVID bubble restrictions would’ve had a huge impact on players all across the NRL so it’s nice to see the club organising something like that. Will be even nicer if this bonding session proves to work this week!!
The Storm have a more dominant spine
The Storm have more pace in their back line
The storm have a more methodical forward pack
The Sea eagles have their dignity on the line and if they play this game as if their dignity and honour is on the line than they can soar high like the Sea eagle on their Jerseys and rise to the occasion
*The Spirit of Manly to find a way and win *
Go the Mighty Sea eagles !!!

Funa sets him up for quite a few pies there.
Storm bench is a bit light on I've just noticed, got two backs in Hynes and Earl there. They lose a forward to HIA or injury and they might run out of legs in the middle. Unless Hynes is cover for Munster. I can't see that staying as their bench at kick off, be interested to see who gets cut 24hrs out
Really, would the inclusion of Albert really make such a big difference?
Bring back the.... Biff?

Not really but we need to see some new blood in the team. Its exciting watching a player highly regarded debut and hoppa snr wont have a stroke! Or have to hand out his address on instagram to punch on with randoms

i hope our backline will look like this come kick off... we wont win anyway so might as well get them a game together. We can win the last 4 games ihmo if we have the right backline selected..
1. Hoppa
2. Miski
3. Parker

Thankfully I just read that we've got a new official Manly match day sponsor.
It's going to be scary ugly for sure. On the bright side every game that Scam plays means it is one game closer to his retirement and us not having to listen to the Scam jizz fest every week.

Even though he'll probably end up on the tv in some capacity, it'll be a happy day for me when he retires.
Hopefully Bellamy goes at 2021 as well.

Nothing like a bonding night, alcohol and fisties to get a footy team relaxed.

Why don't we just get rid of the Storm altogether?
