Raiders v Sea eagles [Round 12, 2018] - Team Lists & Pre Game discussion

The hate for Brown is way overdone. He’s played grand finals and test football. He’s past his best but he’ll be fine in the middle of the park where he’s not defending one on one.His passing is also pretty good.He won’t beat us. The only thing that beats us is lack of respect for the football.
 
I'm confident of a win. We have a good record here, and with Hodko playing a full game, our options can test the Raiders. I think Poo will hold his own, and the team help him in defence. I'm tipping Manly 13+ Good times ahead for the Sea Eagles!
 
Hodko will be huge for us if he can turn back the clock to his Bulldogs form.
DC is on record saying he has never felt this comfortable in his position now that Hodko is playing 6.
 
I’m heading up to the Bunya Mountains for the weekend with some old friends and I’m not sure of Phone /Internet coverage.

The house we’ve rented has VAST TV ( Satelite ) but not Foxtel, so I guess I’ll at least get the result!!

Come on boys keep this roll happening!!
 
Don’t worry the Tipsters just HATE having to chose Manly, we’ve been underdogs for the last 3 games!!

Although I think the loss of Walker and Happy Api does have some merit in their thinking!!

My concern is there is no where to hide up the middle where most of the play is and where most of the big boys run . Brown tends to arm grab as apposed to smaller and more powerful and affective Api putting the shoulder in .
Another concern is his stupid last tackle penalties that he gives away .
I have never been a fan on Brown and was relieved that our coaching staff finally saw the light of day this year up until now .
The best I expect from Brown is to hold his own and let other players do the rest
 
Win the next 3 and we are guaranteed to be in the top 8. Raiders, Cowboys, Warriors.
We play a lot more top 8 opposition in the second half of the season. Lose any aside from the matches against the top 2-4 and we will be doing it tough to stay in the 8 again. This season is a lot tighter on the ladder and all wins/losses are crucial.
 
Lewie will really have a point to prove. And I do think hooker is his best spot. I won't be surprised if Browny has his best game by a long way in Marion and white this week.
Poo's weakness in defense will be compensated by a much improved Lane ,Joel and now Hodko on his left @:cool:

I've watched the 28 minute game a few times now and it is truly inspiring to see Chez at hooker, yet no defensive gap by the other 10 Manly players against 12 Scumos :clap:
