Team next week

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Mestrov will chicken out on the presentation and Watmough will volunteer to do it. 🤣😂

Watmough presenting the award to DCE

 

[1972]

All I know is that DCE, Brooks and Saab should be dropped.
Imagine if Boldy had the courage to drop DCE for his 350th game. We fans would applaud but he'd be crucified by everybody else, none of whom understand how DCE has disrespected the club and us.

DCE must be dropped - let him play his 350th for Nick when Walker picks up an injury

 

[bob dylan]

I pity the poor bastards rolling up to the next home game , if I had seats I think I’d stay home

I was half thinking about going.

But I have given that idea away.

 

[Heckenberg]

He hasn't been given decent ball in like a year.

Turbo should never be at first receiver. I have no idea what the hell the halves are doing, but Turbo is seemingly trying to do their job.

At the game live, it was apparent that Turbo was acting as the on-field captain instead of DCE. He looks like he still cares, but has no idea how to get the rest of the team to care.

Never drop the ones who care.

1. Turbo (C)
2. Faulalo
3. Koula
4. Talau
5. Hoppa - going through the motions.
6. Brooks - anyone but Wakeham
7. Walsh - I despise this guy's god complex character but why not
8. Bully
9. Simpkin
10. TKO
11. Hart
12. Burbo
13. Navale
14. Muagututia
15. Jazz
16. Laiafi
17. Sykes

Walsh has a god complex character ? Don’t think we have signed Reece haha

 

[Phobia]

Different Walsh, same ego.

His manager calling him an "Alpha dog" was an understatement.

Honestly I’d take an alpha dog over the soft boys we have trotted out this season.

Let's hope we lose the remaining games which is very likely and maybe "change" will happen.

 

[Uk eagle]

I don't care who plays as long as DCE is dropped. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of making his 350th. He's a fraud who is masquerading as a quality half. Some of his plays would get him in trouble from his coach if he was a park footballer.... just plain dumb. Good luck to him trying to break into the roosters team next year, he'll need it...

As a club I think we have slipped behind Parramatta and Tigers who both appear to be headed in the right direction.

We can't fall much further.

 

[Darknstormy]

Team next week .....At this point .... who cares? They don't ......

Exactly right mate who really gives a ****…who the hell would get excited with our starting props straight out of aged care then you have Waddell and Burbo and the rest of the clown show led by grimace and friends

 

[Wombat64]

We can't fall much further.

All the other lower teams are at least having a crack and we're not ...... FFS the Titan and Knights beat us. We've put the queue in the rack. Maybe we have to slip further for change to happen.

 

[JenEagle]

We will be bottom 4 the next few years until we start fresh.

There will be no change other than John Hopate wanting his kid out of the team, which the media will orchestrate very soon.

That will leave us with Haumole and Koula. How long until they want out to win a premiership at the Tigers or Eels.

That won’t happen & I hoping the ultimate Karma is the Roosters withdraw everything and he’s left with his mates at Chan 9

 

[double hoops]

DcE's 350th next week
What a s$$t week to have it
Never not wanted the club to celebrate a milestone but can't stand he gets that next week.earn 350 like he earned his 1st.

Make him earn 350. He's NOT playing well enough to play park footy ATM. Letting him take the field just because he's played for a few years, and the team get 50 put on em will be a further embarrassment. Way to mark 350 woo.

 

[Uber Eagle 72]

The talk of dropping DCE is ridiculous, it’s just not going to happen. We lost yesterday because of our forwards, too old, dad’s army complement. We have no forwards depth whatsoever. There are NSW cup teams with much stronger packs than what we fielded yesterday. If DCE goes to the roosters he will do well there because they have a decent pack of forwards….

 

[maxta]

Not a Big fan of "changing" in desperation....but I am a fan of "changes" to add energy and enthusiasm after such a lacklustre showing.
Other NRL sides have had Great success bringing in youngsters, who have excelled and lifted the energy levels of their respective teams.
I feel 2 or 3 players could easily be included and perform better than thos players yesterday, some of the players looked to be like those certain kids growing up in the U13's, who had their parents force them to play the game and looked like they didn't want to be on the field....I know 1 thing in Rugby League or life in general....the performance will always be FAR better if you enjoy what you do and this team look unhappy and certainly not the "tight band of brothers" being Sold in The Manly way.
Anyways to add "some" excitement, a couple of NEW inclusions would be good and maybe add some spark....the only factor that I see, would be the fact your bringing new blood into a bad environment and a sinking ship....but as a fan, I still take the option to add new blood for some excitement as a spectacle ..... and as a coach I say yes also, as rewarding these players who are not having over a go over a talented youngster with potential chomping at the bit for a run....with the season already shot - give them a go !

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Bring all the most promoting youngsters up, we are getting flogged anyway and who knows an injection of enthusiasm might be the difference between a flogging and a loss.

Also a chance for us fans to see if the ones we have could really make it on first grade.

 

[manly al]

Phins tend to play a fairly open type of footy from reports so probably not advisable to include Lodge again but not much forward depth on offer . Maybe Jake will return but could be on the early side for his own welfare
Suggested a couple of weeks ago also to make D C E play some portion of a game as a 9 to get a bit more commitment and involvement from him , not going to happen and as much also how good it would be to leave him right out and include joey Walsh as the 7
Surely no chance Garrick being available , Faulalo to come in but shame again if Walsh could not get an opportunity
Doubt again if Hart would be eligible but a bit young and probably not time yet for a couple of the young props coming through now . Willett doubtful to get a look in at the moment also
