Pre-Game Raiders v Manly [Round 12, 2023]

[SeaEagleRock8]

Could this be the tallest team Manly has ever fielded?

Turbo 194 cm
Saab 199 cm
Parker 193 cm
Paseka 197 cm
Keppie 196 cm
Burbo 193 cm
Olakau'atu 196 cm
Fainu 194 cm
Condon 196 cm

We are going for the record, that's why we couldn't pick Gordie this week.

Raiders v Sea Eagles: Woolford sidelined; Internationals return

With five wins on the trot the Raiders are one of the hottest teams in the NRL and they will fancy their chances of making it six against a Manly team riding a three-game losing streak.

Could be......and is this the first time that Jake, Tom & Ben are all listed in the starting side for Manly?

The new normal has arrived.

They were all listed and played in our starting side in round 9 2022 vs Tigers at Brookie. Ben scored two tries.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Some good ins , not perfect but a better side than last week.

Not that I think it’ll matter much , the Raiders are hot at present and we’ve been ice cold.

Just love to see it competitive in the first half for a change.

Cannot see an away win, Raiders to add two more points and us to slip to 14th with a bullet to the bottom 2-3

The brothers started together for the first time in Rd 9 v. Tigers last year. I think that was Burbo's only start a backrower and this week will be his first start on the left edge and the first time with Schuster as his five eighth.

The pressure of 6 wins in a row - they'll crack!

Swap Gordon for Lawton and I am happy with the squad picked.

Swap Gordon for Croker. Lawton has been good of late, we actually build momentum with him on the field.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Burbo for Tuilagi is a change I like the look of. Tuilagi has been absolutely horrid for the last few weeks. If Burbo can snag his spot and keep it I'm all for that.

I like the look of this team on paper, and Canberra is one of the two sides we beat regularly . . .
the other being Cronulla, and we know how that turned out last week.
However, I'm tipping an upset win for us. I am, of course, relying heavily on good performances from The Shoe and Turbo which is more hope than logic.

 

[Sidestep]

Unfortunately the team is currently playing at a speed that half of them look like they have just come out of a casualty ward

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Canberra 36 - Manly 10

cant see a win at all, especially down at seifford oval

lulz............................................................................................................

That's quite a tall team!

I don't know if it's already been mentioned but Gerard Sutton has been downgraded from the bunker because he cocked up and is refereeing our game. 2 things: 1,I thought the onfield referee was the most senior official and 2,why the actual **** do we get the hopeless wanker

That sounds like an upgrade.

Unless you're Manly.

the cartel continues.
