Pre-Game Raiders v Manly [Round 24, 2022]

[Seagles68]

Hey @God , can't you do something to turn this tide of losses and stop us from drowning in this ocean of footy misery? All my life I've heard how God works in mysterious waves. Come on, already!

Sorry, what??!! ...... ways??!! ..... Oh! ..... Um, nevermind.

It was noticeable how Des spoke about the opportunity to play in Manly colours, and how those opportunities might not come too often. We are going to finish around 10/11 no matter what, so I think he might try a few things out in team selection. Certainly hope so, this year is dead and buried, Manly needs to start thinking hard about next year.

Manly needs to think hard about saying goodbye to the Hasler days.

Are **** it. Just give all the Jersey Flegg boys a run. End score probably about the same any way.

 

[MW66]

Zac Fulton named in Jersey Flegg. Cross him off the list.

He was never really on the list.

Presuming you are talking about Des' list.

Vaega to debut.

 

[Budgie]

Can someone help me understand what the Des plan is with Weekes?
He keeps giving him a sniff, but nothing more than that. What's the point?
I'd be very surprised if Vaega is ever a regular first grader but I was sure he'd be picked this week. Hence, I wasn't expecting anything else this week, with last week being a golden opportunity to play Weekes.

Sticking with the failed Burbo experiment I see. Oh well I guess nothing to loose, sticking to the experiment. If the experiment doesn't work, try, try, try, try again.

Vaega to debut.

Great to see the big unit finally get a chance, Go well young man !

 

[Supreme Leader]

bazaar really, you look at the team sheet player for player you'd think we would win, but we all know better. If Canberra turn up to play then we lose by 20+.

 

[The '47ers]

Shouldn't Schuster be wearing the #20, sponsored by KFC?!

Same team as last week except bullemor out and smalley out (Ray V in)

 

[Kalvin]

Funny/Classic ' Des's comments were to pick players who deserve to wear the jersey (or something similar).... then picks basically same team as always

 

[deanm]

Would love to see Weekes, Roumanos, Sykes & Humphries get a run , But I'm pretty sure they are there to make up the numbers. Sad really

 

[Eagles4Life]

Great to see Hasler going out of his way to be innovative with his bold team selections for the last rounds.

I'd like to help you out. But just another head scratcher from Des.

He's a fullback/half isn't he? Aren't we needing a fullback right now?

The guy has been in the squad all year yet the only time he has played is as a reserve hooker.

I'm somewhat interested in seeing Vaega but like last week with Smalley, he shouldn't be prioritised over playing Weekes. Fairly easy to put Koula back in the centres or wing and putting Weekes at fullback to at least see what he can do.
