Pre-Game Souths v Manly [Round 8, 2022]

[SeaEagleRock8]

Just a bit concerned how Walker 's fitness is as will really need his presence and strong input in the middle and naturally moving freely

Surely Walker won't play, and Schu will come in and take his place on the bench.

That was my thought

And we all know how Des plays ducks and drakes with the media so anything is possible !!

 

[Rocky]

What's the difference between 6 & 13?

A heap of answers to this.

But in this context probably 20 tackles more a game. Do you reckon the Schu is up for that?

 

[HoldenV8]

This is honestly how I see us actually lining up at kickoff on Friday after all is said and ... said again.

Schuster played backrow last year with a very high work rate. I just don't understand the doubters?

Yep. There is no value in having Walker in the quad until he gets over his injury/injuries.
We need DeLuxe on the bench to help out with defence. Sippers never plays long minutes. Likewise Keppie, and if The Shoe plays you can't imaginge it being for a long stint. I hope Sandwich has recovered from his leg injury. Having Burbo gives us some cover for the backline.

How do you quantify high work rate? Genuine question.

To be clear my doubt surrounds the following

1. does he want to play a role that is more defensive heavy?
2. and if he plays there would that have a significant affect on his offensive contributions.

Think you are probably close to the mark with that team. Des seems to have put Keppie in a last 25 minutes of the game role so i would definitely expect Sipley to start.

 

[CryingEagle]

Yeah if Schuster comes in Burbo will drop out.

Yet to see much from Burbo.

 

[double hoops]

The shoe hasn't played all year. I can see Expectations are pretty high, no less then to start and be our saviour. Be good to have him back playing and when he is fighting fit, then he could add some spark.

 

[CryingEagle]

Nobody has given a thought to the injury Sandwich is carrying. He wasn't 100% in the Sharks match and was lucky to see out the 80 minutes.
Statistically, he is our most valuable player. Here's hoping he has recovered from the injury.

15th peak played like a weapon though. Backing the Snack for first try scorer.

 

[Jethro]

Thank god it's not a Bunnies home game, we usually have good support on the Central Coast.

It is a Bunnies home game that they have taken to Gosford.

 

[Eagle 1]

If is a Bunnies home game that they have taken to Gosford.

Well...it's a good decision by Sths then..

 

[mickqld]

What's everyone worrying about. We've got the highest paid player in the game so he'll just do his immortal magic and a win for sure.

in 2013 he got MOM in a losing team. so taking that form into fridays game should see us trump the bunnies easily. also think jamie lyon will have a blinder just quietly

Yes the Burrow section is there for the game

Some of our better victories last year involved Delius up front. And Lawton on an edge.
