Manly by 1
Main concern is our slower middles ability to close down Mcguiness, who plays with huge energy and often wins Sharks tempo through the middle
I think Okalatu again will be a go too who can tip things Manly's way....if only Tom and Schu were available to destroy Sharks pathetic defensive right edge...
Anyways- Manly by 1 - get on - your Welcome 🤑
I'll take a one point win👍

Bit concerning having Alioi Marty Keppie Shoe out, big challenge for us. Time for Toff and Tent to put in stela performances and lay the platform we need for DCE and Foz to weave their magic.
 
I wonder if Sione is asking himself, Did I make the wrong decision? this week.

Or is Manly management asking themselves if they made the wrong decision letting a highly touted, contracted player go mid
Season?

I’ve also heard Will Kennedy won’t be playing for The sharks and Lachie miller will be debuting at fullback, hopefully cherry can have one of his good kicking games, would love if ha added more varied bombs to his repertoire

Do you mean Brailey? Because Cam Mac has been a bit underwhelming and is still getting some miles in the legs after the reco. He played on an edge and only made 7 runs against the Storm.

Kennedy out would be a blow for them
 
True, probably would of got a bench spot this week. Left purely for the money I guess.
Young boys want to play first grade it’s not just money early on. We place too many road blocks in front of our talented kids that are under performing players. I’d loose patience too. This notion.of knowing when they are ready is bill dust.

I think Sione's 2021 season was cut short with a foot or ankle injury (?) This year, he didn't play in the Sea Eagles NRL trials or NSW Cup.

On researching, I found he's played just two games this year - Tigers Jersey Flegg bench on 10 & 15 April. He's been selected in their Flegg run on side for 24 April.

 
It looks like Des has gone safety first picking Parker and Harper before Koula. Gotta say there is something in the old saying that the best for of defence is attack and neither of the selected centers have caused opposition defenses much trouble so far this year. Koula would have run rings around the big Sharks center with ball in hand. To win this we need to have the majority of possession which means no errors. I have my fingers crossed however a win is unlikely.
 
Manly looking for 5 in a row, which would be a very good achievement especially with the players we have missing.

Last time we got 5 in a row was a good run way back in May and June 2017: We got the Titans, Bye, Raiders, Knights, bye, Sharks, and Warriors. Then lost a close game to Panthers.

Most of the younger players are signed up to 23,24 so they must be happy with what Does is doing
 
I expect certain promises were made when they signed. NRL contracts now days are as strong as rice paper.
 
I'm.on us in a tight one. Need a full 80 and we should overcome the Sharks. Let's hope our impressive record against them gets us home.
