Well we could go back to me and @BOZO going after each other with the Rorters set up. That didn’t get old.

I worry that the game has moved past him , and so far he’s yet to prove me wrong BUT it’s 2021 so now’s your chance Desmond.

Fair call I believe @Mark from Brisbane. I hope he proves us wrong.

We should know by the end of round three I reckon.

Maybe a fraction longer , end of round 8 in my opinion.

If we are , 1/8 or 2/8 then that’s not good enough in my opinion.

Agree it's not, but if we are still running the same system and have not adapted by end of round 3 ( win lose or draw) then the game has moved past Mr Hasler

Watching this first game,Storm/Rabbits,I hope this is the exception rather than the rule,because I’m not confident Manly can keep up with this pace of play and there’ll be penalties/6 agains all game

Yes we’ll need to slow the game down to survive which will mean lots of set restarts

I was thinking the same thing. At least we have some speed in the backline this season. The AFB trade may prove to be a master stroke. Jorge cannot play on the wing again, they'd be running around him after ten minutes. Schuster appears to be very well suited to the new rules. Turbo would absolutely kill it.

Add Manase to that

Wonder if there's a Sack Wayne Bennett thread on the Burrow yet? Souths look pretty **** after one half of football…

 

[The Who]

Souffs showed they will score plenty of tries with their lethal left-side backs, and Reynolds will keep knocking the conversions over from the sideline. I fear for our right-edge defenders when we meet them in round two.

Same side the tigers carved up.. Johnson triple coming up! I shudder at the thought. See how the boys go against the roosters but gee iv got a bad feeling. Especially since they just lost to storm

Brace for 0/2

I was even before last nights game.

We might do better against the top sides later in the year when the side has gelled a bit but I expect it’ll be tough going in the first month or so.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Why are you lot such doom mongers? I love that there is 34 pages of SACK DES before we have even played a match. Jeez with fans like this who needs enemies eah?

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

We are a different team from last year how about we at least give them 3 weeks before the pitch forks come out....

Well put! And same here watching yesterday I was thinking god if we play like last year this is going to be tough watch. I like aloai for AFB. Also I’ve been thinking more around the selection of Funa in the bench. Last year I recall sone teams putting an outside back utility in the bench. Maybe this is a new strategy from Des to get some more speed out there somewhere. Not comparing the two but storm I think selected Nicho Hynes on their bench a few times last year. Just a thought. Obviously don’t see training so who knows how Funa has been used. I mentioned in another thread worry around Croker doing 80 in 9, but then I think I recalled it being mentioned he’s one of if not the fittest in the squad. So who knows maybe it will be 80 for him. Look I think Sat will be a tough game and we may not win, but I’m real excited to see how Saab, Davey (really like this guy), Croker and Foz all go out there. Bloody bring on sat!

We should add that almost weekly we lost an outside back in the first 20 minutes and had to cover it with a backrower.

This screwed our bench rotation and made us more ineffective out wide

If funa is to stay on the bench maybe des is just resigned to the fact that its better than a plodder when the inevitable strikes

It might be different when cust is available also. He was probably going to get a bench spot and adds options

 

[The better Robbo]

Add Manase to that

He is the missing piece of the puzzle. Next year we have a developed Schuster, Fainu back and hopefully a fit and firing Turbo.... Well, we could have all of this by the end of the season. If we can scrape into the 8 at full strength we can challenge anyone in the finals
