No changes or surprises. I think Chad will miss out as Handbag stood up on Saturday. Des won't change Beaver, or he is mad to, as combination familiarity is what it is all about. Go Manly!!!!

 

[The Wheel]

Where is the Duck?

 

[ManlyBacker]

Same flight as Johns?

 

[Matabele]

As long as Randall doesn't get within Cooey of the First Grade side.........

 

[Blunty]

Interesting that Randall is the extra man, would have though Flash would get a call up if Hicksy was out. Looks like they would start Randall, Dunley off bench, Menzies to centres, Harris start, Matai wing, Willo to 5/8.

I know Matai had a reasonable game against the Raiders, but I'm still a massive fan of Flash.

 

[Duff]

Flash seems to have had the turd end of the stick handed to him. He can now join Cuthbo, Lenno & Mullane in that club.
Fair enough don't change the side but at least give him the standby position.
As described by Blunty it would take six changes to bring in Randall as opposed to either a straight swap or one change for Alberts. They sure know how to make a good thing turn bad.

 

[ManlyBacker]

Noooooooooo.
Mander got the game. Play nice Moanas.

 

[Matabele]

Mander did the right thing by us when we beat those dirty Rorters. (If we'd lost we'd have had Mad Monday by now!)

 

[Corso_Pete]

No surprises with that side, Des has rareley changed the side even when we lose so it was long odds on that he would change a winning side.

I don't undertsand Donals not playing PL though, very strange decision.
