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

[Kevinward777]

Trenty might be smiley pretty, but it's pretty evident that if you piiss him off (Hastings, Poo), you can be assured you will continue to be piissed off.

Sure looks that way. I think that’s a great thing too... he’s seen as being very close with the playing group, which is a good thing, but they need to know who’s boss.

 

[highlandeagle]

This annoys me. We are paying a guy good coin to play for blacktown who can play hooker and is a better hooker than my idol the great Lewis Brown.

Barrett has to eat some humble pie and play Hastings at hooker there’s no other sane option if that young kid from last years 20s isn’t allowed to play.

Stop talking common sense. It won't happen.

 

[Class of 96]

In some much-needed good news on the injury front, Jack Gosiewski (hand) is on track to make their return from injury against the Raiders.

Is he that good that there are 2 of him, or are both hands getting a run?

 

[FlyingHigh]

Who is going to the game? I live in Canberra but not sure where to sit? Away supporters bay?

 

[Kevinward777]

Are we sure Api is gone? Apparently that crumb curtis scott is only getting 2 weeks what a joke

Maybe barrett finally seen our comments on here 😉

I can see how he might have done that... I mean, you and I. We have undoubtedly been blessed with great minds.

 

[manly al]

Pretty sure ur thinking Lussick not hastings

Just recall that Green was a late withdrawal and API was also out and Trent went initially with Cullen at 6 and Hastings at 9 . Joey Lussick came into the game after some time and with Darcy sin binned early in the second half , was still on the field when Manly then went on that points scoring spree also just after half time but then faded again to let the Dragons run away with the match .

On a side note... watching the replay again this morning, Frankenstein stands out as playing a more dynamic role than I remember him having in the past. Picked up that ball and made a one-handed offload to Tom to make that long run and nearly score, and also provided a good one-hander for Suli's try. Good vision, great ball skills.
Plus he was right in there standing over the Melbourne players when the brawl was on, and made damn sure the guys he was holding didn't get their arms free.
Top marks, Frank.

Yeah noticed that in the brawl, he had about three storm players corralled away from the fight.

You'll find that our second rowers have been getting a lot more ball this year, hence their increased work rate. Last year Frank would run a lot of decoys but been Green would rarely use him.

He also made a good try saver tackle right on our line - I think it was NAS on the burst. Good to see him doing a bit of ball playing. Maybe he feels more at home on the right than the left - clearly a Liberal voter from his Rugby days

 

[BrendonStarr]

Yes, great to see Winterstein stepping up when it really counts. He does have great hands, always has. Maybe now with his confidence up a bit, and his determination to remain in the 17 we will see more of his true potential in the coming weeks.

No Junior Paulo, Josh Papalii and Joesph Tapine means that the Manly pack will most probably be up against a Raiders pack as
8. I. Soliola
9. S. Havilu
10. C. Gubb
11. D. Lui
12. E. Whitehead
13. L. Bateman

14. S. Boyd
15. L. Knight

17. M. Hingano

If we can't get it over this mob, it'll be embarrassing!

Whilst he was charged I don’t believe Papalii was suspended mate, so will be there this week, but even still we should more than match their forwards.

nah he is out, read it on silvertails

 

[BOZO]

Foxsports reporting Joey Lussick an option to play hooker.

Last time I checked he isnt in the Top 30.

https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...t/news-story/2aa372f4387d4bf24439b17bc6ccd2de

Joey Lussick goes good . He has a bit of skill as well .

 

[The Wheel]

Brown and Jeorge in

[BOZO]

Time for a win based on simple guts and hold the ball. Outlast them in an 80 minute slugfest. Remember they are also still missing their top hooker.

Good point . We have shown we are tough enough to out last and grind teams out . The key here is minimizing our errors to give our selves a chance .
