Pre-Game Storm v Manly [Round 12, 2022]

[dowdz]

Done !

And I know these bastards will just get up now to bend me right over. I also hope it gives everyone a light hearted laugh and an up yours to me as well.

You're a good sport mate. We can PayPal.to each other

No problem mate. Would be more confident with Hughes our, but hey, hopefully they prove to us they have fight left..

 

[Rafferty]

Can you afford 100 head to head ?

I can

Well place with a bookie mate and get yourself 5.50, sorry Ryan, better still save your cash mate.

 

[Pete W]

But on the brighter side, Jorge to bulldoze Coates for at least his first try in first grade in 20mths.

If he puts just one bell ringer on a storm player I'll be smiling

 

[Ryan]

Just saw a short of the sea Eagles nate. I'm starting to worry already. Foz 250th. DCE saying we are desperate as. Looked at the Storm team - looks nowhere near as good as I thought they would.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Hughes in makes a huge difference for them , not going to be easy down there in Drizzleland

 

[Will on the hill]

You offering odds? It'd be silly to bet 1:1 when you can get 5:1 with the bookies.

Trying to lure me into a false sense hey 🤣🤣🤣 I think it will be a cracker .

Nah, it's more fun as an inside thing here.

I'll get on us 1 to 12 as well

 

[Eagle 1]

Realistically season is over. We may sneak into 8th or something but will bow out.

Playing Jorge makes zero sense. He's finished. Des just playing his mates again.

Surely Weekes debuts. Let's see what hes got. Koula to fullback. Coates on the wing. We need Garrick who imo is best equipped to handle him.

1. Weekes
2. Saab
3. Koula
4. Tuipolotu
5. Garrick

Or Koula FB and Jorge in centres.

KDL is playing really well in NSW cup. Give him a run out instead of Keppie

I feel so much happier and content knowing Garrick's taking the bombs, and not a debutant playing the Storm at Aami park.

 

[StuBoot]

Hopefully he can get those legs going if he takes another intercept. He was struggling last week.

No probs, he can just offload to Jorge, oh wait!

Is Solomona playing..hope not..

 

[Rafferty]

Foz’s 250th‘s not getting much of a run, should be an extra reason to dig in, good luck old boy, I hope the lads have a real crack for you and we bring home the chocolates.

 

[40 nil]

if he plays though surely this will point out how low down the totem pole dylan walker is when it comes to his backline days at manly

Another scenario is that Des's game plans incude Walker playing big minutes as 14. This week, there would have been other options for 14 such as Weekes or Segeyaro, but they would likely have much shorter stints on the field.

Doesn't matter who plays fullback mate. If Jorge is on the wing.. there's only one target on that field...

 

[Sheikheagle]

Yep agree. Weekes will debut against weaker opposition in the future.

I’m no fan of the role Des has Walker playing,think the “impact” he’s had there has been overrated and has only really payed off against ordinary teams.But at least this weekend,he doesn’t have to contend with NAS because every time Manly have played the Storm with Walker at 14,their stints have coincided with each other and Nelson has had an outline of Walkers body on his chest,after all the times he’s run or tackled Walker

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

Where is Kapow?

 

[BOZO]

Xavier Coates is one of the fastest wingers in the comp and we all know speed excites you more than anything

Xavier is an incredible athlete and a dynamic speed freak and is exciting in the clear
I just hope Jorge can intimidate him and kick his rear

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I wonder if Marty has been dropped or is injured.

Where is Kapow?

Quad injury, says the club site. At the presser Des said just cramp but I'm not surprised that wasn't quite true.
