Game Day: Souths v Manly [Round 15, 2020]

[Shoe1]

Wow

yeah we are a chance if no tries conceded in 5 min pre half time

 

[Cliffymagic]

I want us to win. But we deserve to get flogged by 50 with these selections.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Marty to bench, Addin starting, Haumole out

Where's the half-like, half-hate button?

 

[mickqld]

Why, why, why Hamole out and Jack in. ****sake why.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

For no apparent reason, I've got a feeling we'll get up tonight. In any case, go, you Eagles!

 

[ManlyTragic]

I do mate!! It’s never over until the larger lady ( she might have thyroid problems so in this day and age political correctness is the key) sings. She may be warming up but hopefully her love of food will clog the voice box. Our boys by 14.

Bro. The fat lady has been singing for the past 2 week !

just sayin!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Why, why, why Hamole out and Jack in. ****sake why.

Mobility and utility value. We have enough giant bodies already.

 

[court83]

surely we have learnt to carry a reserve back by now..
We MUST have a better option than carrying a b grade backrower like jetski who turns into a c grade centre almost every game he plays..
Would rather carry someone like miski on the bench, can almost guarantee we lose either a centre or winger during each game...

 

[HoldenV8]

Why, why, why Hamole out and Jack in. ****sake why.

Because Jetski can also cover centre. And with the way our backs have dropped like flies hit by the old Pea Beu lately, Des probably feels he needs that insurance cover.

You'll probably find that Jetski is actually there more to cover the backs than he is to interchange in the forwards. If our backs manage to stay injury free tonight then don't expect to see Jack until maybe the last 10-15 minutes when he'll come on to replace someone like Jake, Siro or Thommo.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Don't forget Jack had back surgery in the off-season, means he's had a really slow start to the year. Clearly Des thinks it's worth giving him match fitness and having seen what he was capable of late last year I can't argue with that.

 

[Ranga]

I am claiming the first win of the night - Ginnane is not commentating our game.

 

[Go manly]

For some reason I’m feeling very confident of a win.
$100 on Manly at $2.60, it’s go time

Well done hozza,but if we win it will be 13+
take the 7 dollars on offer

 

[Wombat64]

I do mate!! It’s never over until the larger lady ( she might have thyroid problems so in this day and age political correctness is the key) sings. She may be warming up but hopefully her love of food will clog the voice box. Our boys by 14.

My Missus is the large lady and she's singing ...... but really hope we win and it shuts her up.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Tigpies are playing the Chooks mate, did you expect any different? Apart from the quality gap between them, the Chooks will always get the leg up from NRL officials.

Did you see both calls? Impossible to go the roosters way but BOTH did.... investigation? What we need to do is appoint Geoff toovey head of the referee integrity commission a newly created group to police the refs and the bunker and scrutinise every call and have access to all ref staff bank accounts and family accounts also.... yes yes this is the only way forward

 

[Simonmyers11]

I was so impressed with Quac 80 mins against Warriors. Big metres, tackle breaks, some big hits and a try. Really like him.

Would be a much, much better prospect than butterfingers Waddell.

Very strange selection, but that is the norm I guess this year

 

[Go manly]

C'arn Jorge smash em senseless diffuse 5 bombs and score a tripple.
You know you can do it

paying 31 dollars
Garrick is 101

I'd have two props, hooker and a back on the bench. A back who could cover backrow at a pinch.

 

[Peter C]

My other half asked me when the northern eagles were playing this weekend, it sort of feels a bit like that at the moment sadly

That's grounds for separation

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Haumole couldn't have been better in the one opportunity he's been given. Wish he was out there again.

And speaking of backrowers, I know a lot of people have been hoping Luke Garner might make his way back to the Eagles nest, but he's not having a great game against the Roosters - opposition forwards strolling by while he stands still.

 

[lsz]

Of course I think we have a chance tonight...but it is the hope that kills you
