PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Storm v Manly [Round 16, 2020]

[HoldenV8]

So Hoppa to Fullback
Funa to centre
Gosie to bench
Miski to wing for Jorge.

Exactly the first thing I thought of when I saw the squad but to 19.

Lets hope we're right.

That would mean of the original named 17, probably Jorge and Waddell miss out. I can live with that. Keep Jetski in the 17 as an insurance policy, but hopefully only have to use him as a forward.

Anyone else notice our garbo's took down their post about Hoppa debut?!?

Huh??

 

[ricardo]

Huh??

URM posted about Hoppa's debut. Now the post is taken down:

Lets put things in perspective here feathered friend ....
Getting flogged all depend on just how high our Sea eagles that take the field are prepared to fly over the storm

Yeah yeah ...... but I have watched the last 3 weeks and our backs don’t fly!

just sayin’

I know what you are saying ....
We are hoping they can rise to the occasion 2morrow
To hold their own and hang in their and ride and overcome the storm
On any given day anything is possible with people that put their soul on the line

 

[ManlyTragic]

Hey ! A bit of trivia.

if we lose by 10 our F/A hits the - 100 and theirs will crack the +200

who would have thought!

just saying!

Interesting that Miski makes the cut. When do they travel ?? Is it today or tomorrow ??

 

[Bearfax]

Cronulla just won. That's 6 point ahead for 8th spot. They now have Knights, Warriors, Roosters and Raiders to play. They'll win at least one. Manly will have to win every game from here to get a spot if they are lucky. Lose to Storm and they'll be gone.

I think all games have travel to & from in one day. Probably chartered flights to keep the players & staff within the bubble.

Lose to the Dragons a few weeks ago, and you are gone.....

Guess what happened.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Sorry C & C. I was already three pages ahead... or was it two? Cant count well these days. Where did I put those fingers again? Anyway Google says he played second row, lock, five eighth and centre. Who am I to dispute the word of the Godhead Google, blessed be its holy name, glory be to its holy words, contrite and genuflected I approach in its presence. Anyway it done said that.

As a friend once said "Make an appointment with disappointment and you'll never meet with it."

We had our chance but blew it @Bearfax... St Merge were going terrible when we lost to them, Cronulla walked over us, we couldnt get the job done against the knights the first time and then gave up a 12 point head start the 2nd time, the warriors just out-completed us because they wanted it more...
To think that we are gonna beat the storm, the tigpies (who we have a terrible record against), the tits (who are a team getting better rather than worse) and the warriors (who have shown heart all year) is beyond optimistic... we may get the dogs and one of those other games I reckon...
It wont be the losses to come that ruin our chances, it is the performances over the last 9 weeks against teams that wanted it more...

Is that a Godhead too? I'll take it. I need a couple of belief options. In all seriousness thanks C & C. Appreciated.

At least with it being Sunday arvo the whole weekend isn't ruined. Just a more miserable Sunday night, Monday morning.
