Pre-Game Tigers v Manly [Round 14, 2022]

[Eagle 1]

Burbo returns

Paseka not quite right then you would have to think..?

 

[Eagle 1]

We get to see the Schuster/Foran combo again, really looking forward to this.

 

[Captain Moondog]

but it's a fine mess we've gotten ourselves into.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Are we finally gonna see Schuster put Burbo over for a meat pie?

I’m assuming Burbo comes straight into the n

Paseka not quite right then you would have to think..?

May still come in. Don’t forget Burbo is replacing schuster as bench utility. Paseka may come in for Sipley, Keppie or Marty. I imagine Paseka is keen to play against his old club.

 

[Bearfax]

Good choice. They were also geniuses at their trade

 

[double hoops]

No DCE. Wow.

 

[Bearfax]

No DCE. Wow.

In my opinion this is what is needed and against a side that isn't going to flog them. The team have to find some way of winning consistently without their two strike weapons. Playing well and consistent is all very well, but some players need to move to the next level, which I believe they can achieve. For too long Manly has been relying on Turbo and DCE to win their games. There are a couple of game winners in this team, but they need to believe in themselves. This is their chance, especially for the next generation of potential stars

Thought all of our forwards played well against the Warriors, hard choice who to drop, we'll wait and see I guess.

 

[Ryan]

I'm excited, and I think our team looks amazing this weekend, despite no Tom, DCE & Lawton. The fact that 2 actual first grade quality forwards are going to be releagted to Blacktown speaks volumes.

 

[WiseyEagle]

Could be 2 wins from 2 games without DCE? The drums are beating and the natives are restless.

 

[ManlyTragic]

…… but imaging if we lose!

Just sayin’

well at least we cannot blame DCE if we lose.

This will be a lot closer than people think.

tigers will be up for this.

we can’t give them any leg ups.

I can’t see this being a blow out score.

Manly by 4

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I wouldn't want to support a club that allowed me to coach them.

I don’t have the answer.

Don't be so sure! Some will still find a way!

In my opinion Foran is a very consistent player in recent times and does a good job. But he isnt a game winner like DCE. DCE may be at times inconsistent, but he has a quality that offers that extra element that wins games and he's done it time and again for Manly in the past, not only because of his drop kicking, 40/20s but in making that special play. Sure he overplays at times and can frustrate, but then that's because he is leading a team that is inconsistent not yet worthy of challenging the top dogs and he tries too hard. Consequently he makes bad mistakes at times something the safer Foran doesn't do. But then DCE has a broader range of skills that gives him that extra game winning potential. Not surprisingly he therefore consistently is one of the top Fantasy Coach winners in the side, a measure of the range of actions performed on the field.

Other results have fallen our way , we're playing a club in turmoil ,they can't beat sh*t, they've just sacked the coach, a few players want out , we're favourites, the weather is perfect. Seriously if we fu*k this up then there'll need to be mass sackings starting with the coach.

It’ll be much worse. We’ll beat a team we well and truly should of and paper over the same weaknesses in this team… thus, postponing their rectification longer.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

With the Roosters and SGI both losing this weekend, Manly has a great opportunity to join them both on 14 points and ninth spot, on for and against.

I hope they don’t blow it.
