Suli gives us a big strong body getting us metres out of our own end

Suli gives us a big strong body getting us metres out of our own end

Yeah, against the Raiders that second time this year his big runs basically nullified their forwards. It was quite something. Let's not talk about his performance the first time we played the Raiders. Hopefully he at least has his eyes on the ball if it is kicked near him.

 

[George Rose's Butcher]

He was never going to play. Suli would've been in there all week and they just trotted out Hank for the media sessions. All the talk is Souffs left side attack. We attack left right and center.

Their fullback is going to get a lesson in 1st grade. Manly by 14

Did anyone hear what the actual injury is to Parker?

They just said on nine that it was a hand injury

 

[Showbagz]

Taken day off work to make sure I'm home to watch this one! Let's do this,most pumped I've been for a game since the 2019 semi

 

[Rosko]

A sore leg. The hand is a smokescreen.

No. He played most of last week with one arm.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Parker failed fitness test. Suli in. This could spell danger in defence.

Or a plethora of senseless bouncer memes from that, weekend-get-better workshop, to escape one’s misery…

 

[globaleagle]

Hooray!

And now I get to tell that person who told me about Parker...that his source is a ned know-nuttin!

(Though he lurks here...so he can just read this!)

bonus being Buzz...who probably took his scoop from here...is wrong again! lol

Boo...!

Now I need to go back and tell my source's source he is a "know it all Ned"!

And Buzz was right...(though he took the rumour from me on here)

And Parker is out - which is a shame.

Now I shall look over the past posts to read all the "hey ge was actually correct, he is great and is good looking!"

~goes~

......................... 10 mins ........................

wtf??? Nothing! nada

You guys smell, like roses dipped...... in poop

Go Moses!

 

[Wombat64]

Pragmatically it's my biggest worry as well. But we are one win away from a GF so I will look at the change through the prism of optimism. The time for realism and pessimism is over. Time to jump onboard the Suli train. It's his time.

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

No, the official team list update just out only says "hand". Based on our observations from last week's game, as that's all we can go on, we're speculating it's broken.

If broken, he's gone for the season then . Ie Suli will have to front up again next week.

Des is living in Wayne's head rent-free

‘A bit of myth’: Bennett unimpressed by Hasler’s perfect prelim record

Manly coach Des Hasler has never lost a preliminary final as either a coach or player - but South Sydney counterpart Wayne Bennett wasn’t reading too much into that fact before the sides’ showdown on Friday.

[HammerandTongs]

What a huge testament to Parker’s toughness. If it’s his hand which seems most likely that means it’s probably broken. He played the remainder of last week, making multiple tackles. Blokes an absolute warrior and you can see why Des loves him.

 

[globaleagle]

lol...

“That’s a bit of a myth stat, that one,” Bennett said. “What about all of the preliminary finals we don’t make as a coach? You just talk about how many you made, what about the ones you didn’t make? That’s a myth statement.”....

Des on other coaches always: "They are a very good coach of a very good team. Next question."

Go Des go!!!

 

[Under the Sticks]

And Des just said on Seven that Parker is good to go!

That means he is probably out!

I think I have a lock on Dessie's radar bandwidth.

Let's see how replacing a $350K centre with a $600K centre goes for us.

Hopefully Suli has utilised the "moist towelette" that KFC provides before entering the field of play and doesn't get the dropseys.

Hopefully Suli provides great and fast service to Garrick to eat up.

Hopefully Suli is not a "Drive thru" in defence.

We know Suli can handle chicken but that is "so last week".

Expecting big games from Keppie Foran Cherry

I'm done and that was finger lickin good.

 

[Eagle 1]

Wow !! got up an hour ago, turned on fox sports news, first thing I see..Parker ruled out !! nearly spilled the coffee over myself. Well, it's now time for the big unit Suli to step up and show why you should be in this team. We know he's up to it and he knows it to. The Manly faithful will all be behind you tonight at Suncorp...go for it Moses.

He's been known to go off the rails, let's hope it is not tonight.

I hope the M*A*S*H is not a casualty tonight.

Hopefully he can part the waves of Gagai and Graham and stroll right through.

Souths did a great job on To'o. He is just about the Panthers biggest weapon and they didn't give him an inch.
However it will be harder to contain Tom because unlike To'o, it's very hard to predict where he will attack. Actually, usually it's everywhere.

To’o was unsighted

 

[Shoe1]

No. He played most of last week with one arm.

His hand is a packet of chips.

 

[Eagle 1]

Who's playing Eagle Rock by Daddy Cool this morn, the guitar riff in the extended version, it's classic!

 

[Scorpio]

Suli will have a massive game in both attack and defense... because he bloody well has to!!
