[The Who]

1. Turbo
2. Saab
3. Walker
4. Harper
5. Garrick
6. Foran
7. DCE
8. Paseka
9. Fainu
10. Aloiai
11. Schuster
12. Olakau-atu
13. Jake T

BENCH:
14. Lawton
15. Sipley
16. Taupau
17. Sironen
18. Keppie/Sipley

Sironen gets a bad wrap on here but I think Des will want him if not starting as a bench cover for both backrow and the forward rotation. Also with the depth I don't think we need to play the same 17 every week if fully fit. It would be good to rest a forward every other week so we are prepared going into finals (who would have thought we were a chance after 4 rounds).

I don't understand your proposed team.
1. Foran is out for a long period
2. Al is out for most of the season
3. Walker comes back without any ramifications for being so drunk he ended up pleading guilty to assault
4. Lawton comes in when he's never proven himself in Manly colours
5. Si Loin comes in when his form pre-injury was poor, which contributed to a backline being starved of opportunities
6. Parker is not even in your 17 yet he continues to play his part in the team's revival

If this team is your wish-list for 2022 then I suggest you should include The Blade Runner plus Davey.

 

[Forster eagle]

up there with about 20 runs last night, huge.
Had 90 post contact metres, POST CONTACT, always looks like he's going to break the line.

More than that.....he's been in for 6 weeks now....yet to miss a tackle. I love a great defender in that position.

It was in response to simmos fully fit 2021 possible team. Hence no Davey.

I love Parker but I think his future role is as a backline/backrow utility. Similar to what Suli is on the bench right now. I have Walker there on speed and ball playing potential but if he doesn't show it within 2 rounds of coming back I would revert back to Parker or Suli.

For mine Lawton gets a couple games at blacktown before slotting into the team. Walker gets another week or so to fully get his hammy right no use rushing him while it's not urgent but see him slotting straight in like Siro.

So next week only changes I would make is shoe into 6, Siro into 12. Cust to 6 and Siro to the bench is also another option I don't mind but shoe seemed to think he had first shot at 6 next week when interviewed.

Agreed for next week on Schuster as six, but I would have Keppie to twelve and Siro to the bench. Paseka and Taupau as starting props, with Sipley, Saddler and Cust on the bench with Siro. No Suli.

Haumole failed his HIA today.

Does that mean protocol has him missing next week v Knights?

No... he has to go through HIA protocols this week to be cleared.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Was very good in defence today Guaca, getting better every game!!

 

[Snake]

He’s picked up an injury on top of the HIA and will be out for a few weeks.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Unfortunate, but at the moment we have the 'next man up' thing working beautifully.

Can't believe it took them so long to pick up the kncok from Mr dodgy moustache.

Exact same as Lawton's

Not good news, he has been going very well, what type of injury do you know?

 

[Chip and Chase]

Backrowers are dropping like flies. Do we have any left ?? Keppie and Lawton next week then I suppose. Or does Shoe go back to edge and we run with Cust as was the plan this week

It’s such a crucial role nowadays in terms of defence...never good to lose continuity in these positions. Unless we get an early return from Siro, I imagine Lawton will get a run there. I think Schuster just played Cust out of the 6 role for a while.

Good to see u back Snake - what's the injury - hopefully nothing too serious

Broken hand.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Broken hand.

****. That will be 4 weeks I guess.

 

[Remy]

Broken hand.

thats really annoying. It looked like Keppie also copped some sort of hand injury in the last few minutes of the game. Anything on that?

 

[40 years an eagle]

Exact same as Lawton's

Brown turned in to Lawton's shoulder but RCG turned his shoulder in to Guac's head...big difference. I think Lawton will be ok and RCG will cop something.

Word is Keppie is fine.

Maybe same as Foz...2-4. The bye helps.
