Not bad...........lets hope they can step up.

 

[The Wheel]

That is up early - obviously a couple of players hampered by injury with 2 extras being named. I thought Kite might have been pushed into the 2nd row

 

[Canteen Worker]

Nothing surprising though I will be very surprised if Tezza makes the field.

Boys will give 100% and the weather makes it a lucky dip!!

 

[Manly4Ever]

Well at least Matai has been named instead of Stephenson if Tezza does not play.

 

[Canteen Worker]

Someone I know said Stevo is not too thrilled about playing PL.

 

[PEPSI]

Well tell him we where not to thrilled at him playing first grade!

whats happened to Willo, is he injured ?

 

[Canteen Worker]

Pepsi, you are killing me today. Some great calls on MSE! Keep it up son!!!

Takes a loss to bring out the best in sarcasm and satirical posts!
:lol:

 

[The Wheel]

Willo is gone for month I believe

 

[Crushercleal]

PEPSI, that was a cracker!

 

[Fluffy]

Well the game plan looks obvious from the bench.

4 props - one will be omitted obviously. Enough rain to stop flashy play will give us an advantage with pure size used.

Good to see bryant starting - he has taken hecks place and is doing a good job.

The backrow will be there primarily to defend i feel, both tutt and stewy2 are better defenders, hand bag will have to run hard out wide.

 

[PEPSI]

if there is a bloke lucky to have played first grade for a club like manly its Steppa...just thinking of our centres now

Fulton / OConnor/Shearer( sorry dan) / Williams/Innes/Hill at his best.... Stephenson!!!!! mmmmm maybe not...

 

[Canteen Worker]

Kevin Iro, John Deveraux, Nigel Roy! He's up there with a few of our draft horses!!!

 

[Fluffy]

i was thinking iro would be mentioned soon.

Give the kid a bit of a break, he is only 20 or 21, its not like he has been around for ages.

 

[PEPSI]

good point Fluffy, its just that Steppa has given someone the impression that hes pissed off about being dropped, dont think there was a rally planned for him!

 

[ads]

The team doesn't look too bad. If the young guys can do what young guys are supposed to do when they get a chance we should win. (That is they go out fired up trying to force their way in)

 

[DVS Matt]

good luck guys....i hope they aren't going to be over roared by the occasion of friday night in front of 18,000 fans

 

[PEPSI]

will be a masive sell out if the weather clears up.... having said that there fans will be smelling blood, they will probably go anyway!
