Team you'd like to see for finals

Why people have Garrick at centre is beyond me, he is a terrible terrible defender just ask Dom Young from the Knights.
The top flight centres would murder him.
Let’s look at who was marking him last week, Branko Lee on one leg.
The wing position is the only position he should play.

Garrick is a good winger and potentially a good centre.
Apart from the Dom Young example I have rarely seen Garrick beaten by his opposite winger, yet seen him burn plenty himself and Young has made many good defenders look terrible in 2023, so not a solid example at all.
Also it was euan Aitken on Garrick when he was scoring and setting up tries.
I will say Garrick needs to show he is up for the challenge to make the centre spot his own and the Eels game will be a test against some quick outside backs, who will ask questions.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

1. Tom
2. Saab
3. Koula
4. Garrick. If he continues to improve over the next 4 weeks otherwise Parker comes back in
5. Tuipulotu , Stays unless Garrick goes back there
6. Schuster
7. DCE
8. Paseka
9. Croker , Plays full 80 mins keeps Lawton off the bench
10. Keppie
11. Olakau'atu
12. Fainu
13. Jake , Goes back to lock plays full 80 and can be a ball player
14. Tuilaga , Got him over Lawton ,may be better off the bench than starting
15. Sipley
16. Bullemor
17. Aloiai

How you have Tuilagi in that 17 in front of Bullemor, probably our third best forward all year, is absolutely beyond me.

I like your thinking… 2 wingers outside of Garrick!

Just sayin’

 

[Rocky]

Why are people picking Vaega here?

4th string winger. What am i missing?

Some would see it as an option, but I leave Saab outside Garrick with the option of Tui/Vaega outside of Koula

 

[Will on the hill]

Why are people picking Vaega here?

4th string winger. What am i missing?

He made 1 highlight reel tackle against Storm and scored a hat trick in a trial. Obviously he is the next big thing.

Yep! They want a Saab on one wing and a chev Vega on the other!

Just sayin’

I think it's just wishful thinking, hoping that he'll be better than the alternatives (presuming Garrick stays at centre)

Perspective is a wonderful thing . Ring a ding a ling !

They are just about the only opportunities the Beast got and he made an Big impact
A hat trick and an inspirational Robust display that lifted his team mates and enthralled the Manly crowd

I do not know of any one trick pony that was capable of scoring a hat trick

Johns and Weekes were 2 of the best in that trial. Form from Trials should always be taken with a pinch of salt.

Our Big match against the Big storm team was no trial but a test of character and Viva Las Vaegas
past the character test with flying Sea eagles colours feathered friend

Yeah, Blank o should never had played, think uncle Wayne's losing the plot. But in saying that, you can only play whats in front of you. Big test coming up against in form Parra centres. Think Garrick will be up for this one.
