PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Warriors v Manly [Round 5, 2021]

[sheridanstand78]

Yep, but good to see that Tenterfield is in the 21.

Why wont Hasler change it? We need Schuster at 6, Foran at 7 and DCE at 9 and have Cust covering all those roles off the bench. Keppie has to start in the backrow over Jetski. The obvious one is put Morgan at full back and Dylan back to 4. I believe this team would do better rather than the continued failure that we see week in week out!

Good to see Zac Saddler added to the 21. Is that special dispensation ?

Zac is our Man !

Des is doing my head in

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Lachlan Croker = no win.

He's the new Hex. Guess someone had to step up to fill the void now the old Hex is on a winning team.

Well you know what the definition of insanity is don’t you ?

No changes in team I can cop as long there is a change of attitude in the team

The change of team attitude can be the difference between winning and losing

You and I both know that this team has no self belief right now and the stubborn coach wont make obvious changes. I hate that they are again being set up to fail!

deadset goat photos must be in wide supply this year. Croker must have the originals though

 

[47MVEagle]

I think Harper starting will lift our backs a bit - he seems to be a bit of a character & has lots of energy so hopefully Parker, Garrick & Saab will lift their efforts to match his.

Agree though that he should be at fullback so Walker can come into the centers.

It is so hard to fathom why Croker is such a protected species?? His continued selection makes zero sense. How many more games does Des need to watch before he understands the bleeding obvious. Croker needs to cover the halves NOT hooker!!

NRL Team list: Round 5 v Warriors

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach Des Hasler has named his squad to take on the New Zealand Warriors 6pm this Friday at Central Coast Stadium.

www.seaeagles.com.au

It is basically the same 1 to 17 that I said the other day:

The team that Des will most likely pick:

01. Dylan Walker
02. Jason Saab
03. Brad Parker
04. Moses Suli
05. Reuben Garrick
06. Kieran Foran
07. Daly Cherry-Evans

08. Taniela Paseka
09. Lachlan Croker
10. Martin Taupau
11. Jack Gosiewski
12. Josh Schuster
13. Jake Trbojevic

14. Cade Cust
15. Toafofoa Sipley
16. Sean Keppie
17. Josh Aloiai

The only difference is Harper replaces the injured Suli.

?

Tenterfield Saddler - it is an old song and a new nickname...

 

[susan]

Suli is not playing due to injury but he’s on chopping block before Parker when they are both fit apparently. Not much in it the way they are playing but surely Suli has more upside but he has been awful too I suppose.Atm both should be no where near an NRL team

Anyway you can safely say that other than maybe Harper coming in the side would have been unchanged if no injuries. Hard to believe really but it is what it is.
You just can’t tip us with Walker at fullback., not centre.
Think they’ll win comfortably.Our edges won’t handle Fus Mamalo and RTS.

surely Mr Cotter should swap with Walker though. What was the point in having him train there

 

[Dan]

There is the upside that at least its helping with my work tipping comp, sure bet loss every week

Both have been very ordinary.... Parker has maybe had more impact imo but he has made more mistakes too...

too close to call - sack em both....

 

[DGD]

Remove Sabb and Parker, !! for heavens sake, they been running rings around these guys scoring at will. Good to see Sipley onboard and Harper

 

[Budgie]

Never said or even thought this before, but seeing this team list (Croker being a real bugbear) if we don't win, I hope we get absolutely smashed. Only thing I can think might move Dinosaur Des to either change the team or change jobs.
So over it.

 

[Supreme Leader]

This is TRAGIC.
I've been a fan for more than 50 years, was a club sponsor for 5 years. This the very first time I'm ashamed of our club, the coached inability to want to change something that is bad, the lack of accountability for players and management of the club.
Des had an opportunity to make a mark on the sand for this team and teams for years ahead. No instead the accepted behaviour is rewarding poor performance. What a legacy to leave behind.

 

[Budgie]

Parker has maybe had more impact imo but he has made more mistakes too...

Boy needs a hand replacement.
