Pre-Game Souths v Manly [Finals Week 3, 2021]

[Waz13]

I’m not against Suli coming in at all tbh. Offers a point of difference and the right edge of Souths doesn’t ask the questions of the left. I really like our chances in this one. Keppie out would be a huge loss tho. All the “experts” on 360 picked Souths. Love it, flyin under the radar again!

Parker played most of last week with one arm. Injury was obvious, but our coaching/medical/physio team left him on. I was stunned it was not mentioned even by the Scorpio fan club on social media.
Suli to come in was obvious. Many here would prefer that - we'll see.
Didn't know there was doubt on Keppie - that would be a real blow.

If Souths can't rise to beat us in 2013 after McGuire's mother passed away, then they ain't rising to beat us because Reynolds is retiring in sunny Queensland, rather than graffiti-laden gentrified South Sydney.

Suli/Parker or otherwise.

I hope Keppie isn’t out… our best forward last week!

Noticed that Keppie had an ice pack on his lower right leg after the game but did not seem to be troubling him . Suli in for Parker , well Brad has been reliable and playing his part , if Moses can be at his best and focus on his defensive role it will be O K , we all know what he is capable off . Might not get a better opportunity to make a grand final or premiership opportunity for quite some time . Sure that he will put in .

I thought Keppie was our best forward last week. He will be missed. Parker was solid but his absence won't be noticed as much as Keppies. I am really hoping that Keppie proves his fitness for the game. Suli could really do a number on Gagai, and unfortunately the opposite applies as well. Suli coming in has obvious advantages and disadvantages for us. Schuster is going to have to step up his defence, which unfortunately is going to impact on his attack. There could be a case for Lawton to start, and keep that edge solid in defence for the first 20 minutes. It's a tough one, but I am sure Des has it covered. Go Manly.

Do it for Bozo & Keith Titmuss. They will be watching and cheering from above.

Pretty sure Suli will be up against Campbell Graham

Pretty good replacements to come in. Suli for Parker Toff for Keppie. We won't lose a lot there.

Very bad luck for Parker. He deserved to play in this prelim. Suli has a chance now to make this a game that Manly fans will remember him for. No pressure Moses but it's on you as to how those memories will be. Go Manly.

Yes @Nordburg you are right. I will put it down to wishful thinking 😜

 

[Remy]

Keppie will be fine, just a stupid rumour that started because he went off injured against roosters but it was minor. Hopefully, he starts again, so key he does, earned it last week. He will be ready to rip and tear and bully that small soft rabbitohs pack

 

[Stewbojevic]

Yes @Nordburg you are right. I will put it down to wishful thinking 😜

Campbell Graham is a much better defender than Gagai

 

[Nordburg]

Yes @Nordburg you are right. I will put it down to wishful thinking 😜

Yeah me too.Suli made such a mess of Gagai that he was basically dragged that night.Not often you see an Origin player moved mid match because they’re getting carved up

 

[Eagles4Life]

Campbell Graham is a much better defender than Gagai

Yes @Stewbojevic which is why I wished it was Gagai.

Nobody except a few of us noticed brad’s hand on the weekend.

All media and team selection saying no injury worries, until now.

It is no surprise that booze Rothfield is tweeting about it, because he got the info here.

It shows how poor the league media is.

To be fair to the media they did have

The poor roosters injury toll and the incredible resilience of their team
The poor eels upset at the poor ref decisions they get away with every week
Souths remarkable feel good story with Bennett and Reynolds leaving in the last chance saloon
The incredible scum just keep on scumming
Panthers and Cleary shoulder worries.
All to report this week

I mean you can't blame them for not realising Manly have these issues too.

Fk em I say !

Except James Graham, he's convinced Manly + T Turbo will be to much for Souths.

Just got my tix.
Let's go MANLY

Waiting on the daughter. She’s been a bit crook. She keeps telling me to go, no matter what. I can’t go without my sidekick with me. So hoping she comes good in the next cpla days. Does anyone know if they’ve set a limit on attendance?
