RE: SeaEagles v Roosters MnF @FortBrookie Rd9 Game day thread #GoManly

Noooooooo we have Cecchin.

 

[HappilyManly]

Play footy Manly and you will (pl)uck the Chooks 🙂

No MRC pleeease

 

[Ian Martin tragic]

Roosters will be out for some revenge after we humiliated them last year. Another epic forwards battle in the making. Call out the air raid warden.

Matai is back; he loves these big games against his (former) kiwi teammates. And we know Foran's going to be ready for this one. If we skip the mental fade out for 20-30 mins we should be good enough.

Those less fortunate people love to hate Manly, but everyone must be looking forward to this one. How much high quality rugby league entertainment do we provide the hoi polloi, dragging them out of their humdrum existences, with their humdrum teams. Everyone should pay us an annual tribute for always being there as a major challenge to their aspirations as every now and then their club gets its **** together for a serious tilt.

 

[BOZO]

We are tough, we are resiliant, we are possessed .Nothing will stop us from Rooting the Roosters not even the refs

 

[DSM5]

No Horsehead. Now that must be good.

 

[Ralphie]

I remember round 2 of 2011. We played the Chooks at SFS, we were seriously down on troops and the Chooks were hot favourites as GF losers in 2010.

We played real tough, particularly Foran when he smashed pearce, and won the game 27-16 and set the season up for a premiership win. This feels a lot like the lead in to that game.

 

[master blaster]

watch out for JWH and his cheaps shots monday,I noticed his game against the riff last week he did a couple of shoulder charges,nothing was even mentioned,probably because ch9 are deaply associated with the rorters through Gyngell,they are probably told not to highlight any misdemeanours by any rorters player on TV

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Bad news

Breaking: a second scan has found Brett Stewart is worst than first thought. Out for 5-6 weeks. Will miss Origin


Blood Gutherson I say

 

[Fluffy]

Hiku would play FB if Stewy is out

Blood Gutherson I say

It would have been good to blood Gutherson for the second half at Oki, has to happen at some stage. Unfortunately we are playing 2 big teams who will be favoured by the refs against us so tough bringing him in for the next 2 weeks. Tough call but sure Toovey will make the right call.

 

[the mauler]

Hiku would play FB if Stewy is out

I hope thats the way Tooves goes. Dont want Tonga in 1st grade again, a step backwards picking him instead of Hiku.
Also think Hiku will handle fullback alot better than wing.

 

[Shoe1]

Hiku apparently did well in the trial at FB and was safe defusing kicks, Chisholm would be creative in attack, Gutherson in the mix.

 

[manlyfan76]

Damn. Bad news. Maybe Wolf to FB and bring someone onto the wing.
Alot of possibilities I hope we win half of the matches we play without Snake, that would be a pass mark for me.

 

[HappilyManly]

Wolfie was great at fullback last year.

Wolfie runs straight at the line, whereas Jorge meanders and that allows the defenders to converge on him as his speed reduces with each sidestep.

Clint is too skinny and much too young to go into first grade this year IMO.

But, also am keen on Dane Chisholm as he has played first grade and is Mr Zippy

 

[susan]

Guthersson is simply not physically ready and will not play first grade this year.Our club rarely throws blokes in too early and it wont happen this time.Tooves is even averse to playing blokes who are on the bench so playing a skinny kid like Gutherson is simply not in his DNA.

Take a look at Molan at Penrith he is a toothpick and goes good

 

[Shoe1]

Brett was put in 1sts too early and did his shoulder 1st game trying to tackle Jamie Lyon, I recall.

 

[MissKate]

Wolfie was that far in field a few times on Monday night (tries were hence scored), could have been practicing as fullback

 

[Clint]

We were favourites. Roosters now favourites on the back of Brett being out.
