Game Day: Sharks v Manly [Round 7, 2022]

[Mark from Brisbane]

No Toff Koula in. Forwards decimated

Yep can’t see us winning this one but I guess there’s a chance.

Is there Star fullback out ???

No

Might be a question mark on Garrick finishing the game. He did get injured 2nd half last week. That's why Koula in.

No

Or maybe ready for Des to make a big statement and hook Harper for underperformance

 

[jbb/james]

you could possibly see us having a mobile pack of goers working if
we kick all night long and turn them around
play fast with quick play the balls
wait, wait , wait until we knacker them out and win in the last 15
lawnton, davey, frog and jake all starting does give the D some mobility but the lack of go forward HAS to be made up by kicking

just saying that **** out loud makes me nervous as they are not our strong points

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Well - I know this..... Davey will have a red hot go! He wont die wondering. I would rather him on an edge but when the barrel is empty I would have him in the trenches anywhere on the field - any day.

considering our bench maybe harper or parker do a stint in the fwds late in the game, or could we finally see foz play some hooker or even DCE

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

No Toff? He’s literally starting

He thought the Hoff was playing.

 

[XV-1]

Toff in mate!

Paseka drops to the bench, Davey to prop, Lawton to second row and Koula on the bench.

Round 7 Sharp Extensive IT Final Team Sheet

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach Des Hasler has locked in his final team sheet for tonight's clash against the Cronulla Sharks.

Cannot agree with this team whatsoever.
Either Koula is playing, but he cannot be off the bench??
It's friggin pissing down so this will be won or lost in the forwards.
De Luis or Ben T should be on the bench.

Hope I am proven wrong

ohhh is it raining down there in Melbourne... I mean Sydney?... if so - yes we should have another forward on the bench.

 

[ManlyTragic]

We’ve got this!

Just sayin’

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Late changes to starting team , Des would have had this planned days ago so the players know what to do , Mobile pack with Paseka getting a lot more minutes with Toff off about the 20 min mark
GO MANLY

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Will be interesting to see how Davey goes up front, could be his future with Schu not far away.

 

[Supreme Leader]

just thinking Des might be onto something, imagine Koula being on a rotation with Taupau, bet you that Koula earns more metres and tackles and hit ups?

 

[mave]

Bullemore should be a mobile bench prop anyway imo.

So we have 3 props for the match.

 

[mickqld]

So Sipley goes off after 15-20min and Walker comes on. Fuk me dead how lightweight will we be. God I hope they're prepared the energiser batteries up their clackers to go 100 miles an hour for 80 min. Is this the tactic to tire out Rudolf Tolman and Fifi.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

and I will predict this... IF Davey makes a great fist of the prop role tonight then that is where he will be when Schuster comes back and wow - what a pack we will have then.

 

[HoldenV8]

Referees are Gerard Sutton on field and Ashley Klein in the bunker.

Could be a long night.....

 

[40 nil]

Not a fan when Des strays away from his usual team formula (e.g. Funa as 6 & Walker as 7 in losses to Knights & Raiders last year). Occasionally, Des seems to outsmart himself. At least, no one is playing totally out of position - Davey should manage playing in the middle okay. Go the Sea Eagles!
