Team list Tuesday

[Mark from Brisbane]

I'm going to be the optimist and say both will fight and win and be available. I am looking for 4 things this week, which I don't think is much to ask.

1. Api to Blacktown & Cullen to Hooker
2. Brown to Timbuktu & Hastings to the Bench
3. Myles to hold Browns hand and Lussick to recover & return
4. The coach to cheat and pay a real coach to develop a game plan.

Jobs done & we win by PLENTY!!!!

Nope , both taking early plea and gone for 2 weeks!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Bugger, they took the early plea, hmmmmmm

So Souths by plenty now ??

 

[Ralphie]

So Souths by plenty now ??

I guess so, but I can't get out of my mind what a blood bath it will be in Townsville the week after. 😱

Maybe we just forfeit ......lol

 

[1969]

I'm always positive, but admit having to reshuffle our forwards after 1 game is pretty ordinary, they take a lot of sting out of our punch.

 

[manlyfan76]

What would the NRL do if we have 11 players suspended and need to forfeit? Fine us I suppose.

 

[nightster]

Fox League have included Lloyd Perrett .... quick recovery?

 

[brad]

pfft . Manly to win .

 

[Fluffy]

I think we need to pick the side with defense in mind. Restrict Farrah and Cook in the middle and souffs have very little to offer.

Kennedy can come in and make plenty of tackles therefore can relieve Jake who can move to prop in Marty's place for go forward balance, either to start or after 20 minutes.

AFB's replacement is the dilema

 

[NewwyEagle]

We have to win or we face the very real possibility of being 0-5. I'm sure my Manly fandom will be questioned for this pessimism but with the cowboys, dogs and roosters to follow souths, I'm very concerned.

What about sirronen to lock, Kennedy off the bench with Bainbridge chipping in along the front row if needed. Big dilemma will be if someone gets injured early.

AFB's replacement is the dilema

Don't really agree, I think we should be working on our attack this week.
We were never likely to steamroll Souths and we certainly won't do that with 3 big boppers out (or 4 counting Darcy).
Our defence is good, and I doubt the Bunnies will throw more at us than what the Eels did.
Let's get some attacking smarts.
That's why I don't mind Amone as possible replacement, not the biggest but has a bit of footwork and can throw a neat pass.

 

[TagMonster]

Hopefully something like this

1. T. Trbojevic
2. J. Taufua
3. B. Kelly
4. D. Walker
5. A. Uate (Although I'd rather Parker or Schuster)
6. B. Green
7. D. Cherry-Evans
8. J. Trbojevic
9. C. Cullen
10. B. Lawrence
11. J. Hopoate (not sure he can play, if not L. Brown)
12. F. Winterstein
13. C. Sironen
14. B. Bainbridge
15. S. Lane
16. N. Myles
17. J. Hastings / A. Koroisau

I would rather go with Parker on the wing as he shows promise while Uate is not the future. I'd also go with Cullen and Hastings as Koroisau doesn't fill me with hope. As for the forwards, they were literally the only names I could think of that aren't injured or suspended.

 

[Simonmyers11]

I still see us wining. Big losses with our forwards suspended, but they also have their 2 best players out! No excuses

 

[manlyfan76]

Hopefully Sutton shuts himself down as he usually does.

 

[nightster]

How about Tommy to prop or even Jono Wright , Kelly to fullback for Tommy or just stick Wright in the front row actually any Wright could be right ... or wrong

I think Parker is injured

 

[Pepi]

Any chance Lussick will come back early?

 

[Blowfly]

The backs will be the same as round 1 I reckon but how about this for the forwards and interchange? I think it would still be ok for a couple of weeks.

13. J.Hopoate,
12. C.Sironen,
11. F.Winterstein,
10. B.Lawrence,
9. A.Koroisau,
8. J.Trbojevic

Interchange:
14. C.Cullen/J.Hastings
15. L.Brown
16. J.Kennedy
17. N.Myles

Not available: Taupau, AFB, Lussick, Perrett, Lane

 

[Harvies elbow]

Bugger, they took the early plea, hmmmmmm

We never defend the charge.
I think we should have.
Tapau's impact could've been affected by Jake's and AFB's was innocuous at best.
There'll be more players in the stands than on the field soon.
