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

[mickqld]

Yes the Burrow section is there for the game

The Burrow needs to be up on Manns Rd sewerage treatment plant.

 

[Shoe1]

I haven’t seen souths or manly perform to their best this year. Both teams struggling a little, so who knows.

 

[manly al]

Could even be a case of considering Jorge for a bench spot if Walker is not available and the Shu not ready to go yet . Would have to really apply himself on an edge for instance in defence but may be capable of providing some good impact value with his attack there . Even with his long absence , would still assume however that the Shu would be added to the bench if Walker is not able to play .

Tale of two Joshes: Schuster returns as Jackson ruled out with COVID

Rising Sea Eagles star Josh Schuster is set to make his long-awaited return from injury, while Canterbury captain Josh Jackson is a late scratching.

[Chip and Chase]

Be interesting to see whether Shoe starts or whether he comes off bench. Who drops out of squad ? Burbo I presume

Haha You mean the old West Gosford abattoirs on Manns Rd where in the 60's and 70's all the offal and waste from the abbs was pumped into Narara Creek. That creek use to have some big noah's cruising up and down it back then.

 

[Sheikheagle]

This weeks team list definately has a ducks and drake's late in feel to it.

DES doesn't mind keeping a debutant out of the spot light all week either.

I was wondering if Roumanous might even be a show.

Yep can confirm that. Many years ago I was on the 6th tee at Royal Gosford that runs along Narara Creek and saw a decent size Bull shark swim by.

Haven't done my tips yet but I'm tipping Manly. I honestly think we'll make a statement this week.

Honestly or facetiously lol This determines my tipping too

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

What's the difference between 6 & 13?

7

The SMH has reported that Schuster will be starting and majority of the time they are correct .

Straight into the second row, bulle to the bench and Burbo or de Luis drop off

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

We have a fair cheersquad here at ST for the benefits of selecting youth (hope you are going well @Bearfax) and looks like we are doing just that. Do we have one of the youngest NRL sides? Along with plenty of experience in key positions, makes for interesting times

Burbo 20

Schuster 20

 

[Eagle 1]

Murray has one of the fastest play the balls in the comp. Cook feeds off it.

They’ll be running at Keppie, Taupau and Toff. Oh dear.

This could get ugly.

Massive defensive workload will have to be done this week to contain their ruck speed. Do that and we are a chance.

 

[Eagle 1]

As regards to Batty's post, a lot will fall on Jake and Croker to shore up the middle, so hopefully this should cancel out this threat somewhat.

 

[The Indian]

Outside of Jake ( & Croker ) the rest of our forwards have not played long minutes for a while and they'll be gasping for oxygen at times. We are going to have to use the bench well or get our fair share of the ball if we are a hope.

I don't think Souths are much good and if you complete and kick for field position against them I don't think they have that much. BUT give them good ball attacking sets and they can carve you up ( Cook & Walker ) . Confident our best is good enough. Can we bring something near our best though this week ??

No errors in the first set would be nice for a change - or just maybe kick off to the opposition & don't risk it hey ??

Go Manly

 

[Shoe1]

If we kick off we’ll probably give a penalty or 6 again straight away.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

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.

Just look at the tackle counts.

 

[eagleron]

Yet to see much from Burbo.

If we can get up in Murray's face he's got a mistake in him, we just have to shut him down but at the same time watch our 10 metres otherwise Atkins will be all over us
