Team Vs Storm next week. (Pre-Game Day Discussion)

[Danly Manly]

Perrett has an awesome opportunity here to cement his place on the bench. He's a big boy - 194cm, 115kgs, 22 years of age, and should be pumped for a big one!

 

[Danly Manly]

I'm convinced this is the old trick of not naming the rookie until the last moment to take off any pressure. Taniela Paseka, come on down!!

Well if this recent Fox Sports article is accurate he Tips the scales at 124 kilograms and stands at 199 centimetres tall, 19 years of age.

And they reckon that "he could feature in the NRL as soon as round seven."

The thing about it is though is that now we are going to go into a game against Melbourne with 2 props and 2 utilities on the bench. It just doesn't make any sense.

The reality is that if Barrett has dropped Myles (though dropping him would mean he plays at Blacktown which isn't resting), he's really dropped the wrong player at the wrong time.

I think we all pretty much agree that if anyone should be dropped or 'rested' it should be Brown. Yet if you could bet on which bench player plays the most minutes, I'd be putting money on Brown playing more minutes than Hastings.

Not Really mate. Brown's preferred position is backrow, so he is coming in for Winterstein or Trbojevic (considering Sironen plays the full 80). That means, we are going with:

Jackson Hastings (utility)
Darcy Lussick (Prop)
Lloyd Perrett (Prop)
Lewis Brown (Backrow)

Same setup as Dessie rolls with. The BONUS is that Brown can play various other positions as well. Not a bad thing. Penalties aside, I think Brown has been very energetic and vigorous when he comes on.

6"6' that's pretty darn tall.

 

[Woodsie]

Just because we don't know the reasons for Myles being "rested" doesn't mean it was the wrong decision to rest him.

Just because the "true" story hasn't been told doesn't mean it was the wrong decision not to publicise it. It could be something as simple as an injury they don't want opponents to be able to focus on.

 

[ricardo]

Agree woodsie, also he may have off field issues to attend to and I fully support the club in this.

In other news, a bird just shat on me and my phone typing this so Manly will come into some excellent luck if Chinese superstition has any say in the matter

Yessssss I hope so, give the young guys a go see what they've got

I don't think Brown hasn't played second row all year. Even with Hastings in the 17 he's come on at hooker and last week it was as a centre.

What impact did Browns energy and Vigor have when he came on against the Dragons ?
Brown is a passenger and comes on for the ride when the team is going well but when the chips are down and we need some impact he offers nothing
IMO Brown is as vigorous as an old man with erectile dysfunction

Harsh mate. I think this board goes way over the top with its criticism of him, but hey, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Honestly, I'm a fan of his.

That's the beauty of this forum as we all get to have our say on how we see it 🙂

Should be half an agree on that one, but it's not an option!!

FORMER Melbourne five-eighth Blake Green held a tip session with Manly teammates aimed at helping them in Saturday’s NRL clash.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Happy 70th birthday today for Manly. http://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2017/04/12/_70_years_today_sinc.html

 

[Mitch]

Munster completed his first contact session with the Storm yesterday, so I would imagine he would be a reasonable chance to come into their side. Bromwich also trained, seemed less likely off Bellamy's comments, if he pulled up sore today he'd be ruled out, if not he'll be given until Friday to prove fitness.

So, who is he tipping? Manly or Melbourne?

 

[HappilyManly]

We're training at a tip now? That centre of excellence can't come soon enough.

When it comes to Lewis Brown Viagra 50 is not strong enough. He'd need the Viagra 100 for sure and even then I'd imagine a minimum of two tablets every time.

Your knowledge of Viagra serial numbers Kev is equal parts impressive and disturbing... 😉

 

[TimmyQ]

Lets give him a good rest and retire him 🙂

I really would have thought Nate would be playing if he wasn't 'sore' or being 'managed' because we desperately need some defensive toughness in the middle this week. But if his knees are THAT dicey I'm worried because he's contracted next year too.. Could be another $500K sitting on the sideline as a spectator in 2018.. Last thing we bloody need!
