Trial Thread - Manly V Tigers

[andyvb]

We are playing with out turbo boys, DCE, Walker, fainu, that is an entire spine, paseka tapau and alaoi looked hungry, Davey should start over gojetski. Harper will be ok at fullback

Does Des not want a look at Birt?

Does anyone know what Does wants? We always boggle our minds when it comes to Des.

Even with unlimited interchanges..... Des leaves 1 guy warming the bench!

Well it might be trial and we have a few out but this is pathetic defense and just more of the same last years rubbish. Nothing has changed and bottom 4 is very likely.

Anyone else think Harper looks like Lionel Richie ?

Tigers side much stronger they are using all the nrl players. Who did they leave out? Joey boy thats it

I'm starting to get excited. In 2008 we lost our trial by 56-10 😉

Not sure how anyone can say Sirro is getting a bath - watch the game - Leilua is attacking Weekes and running rampant over the young man. Every time he hits the ball - he is picking Weekes out and trampling him. Harper - very good. Aloiai very good. No dummy half with Cust injured is killing us. The lack of quickness to get up off the ground in defence and be at marker is also killing us - Suli lacksadasical effort in the first try I think. Other players lying on the ground after a tackle. Not great but not as bad as everyone is making out - 4 tries running at Weekes - pretty simple game plan.

Aloiai has been the best prop by far and the fittest of them in my opinion. Playing against his old team may have helped fire him up a bit.

I’d suggest Manly has a 10% winning record in trial matches over the last 20 yrs

[The Royal Soup]

Hahahahhahahaha 50 is up!!!!!

[Jerry1]

I dunno. Why am I watching this. I could be re-grouting the kitchen floor.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

50 🙁

 

[globaleagle]

50 🙂

 

[WESTIE]

At least we got heaps of kick off practice

 

[eagle66]

well, at least we know where we are starting from.
I think we will stick it to the Roosters

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Now the pathetic arm grabbing tackles and the offloading is totally unforgivable - no excuses at all.

 

[DUFFMAN]

We will still be equal first on the ladder at full-time.

We will have more idea about our season after round 6, if we win half those we make the 8 otherwise we will be bottom 4.
Trails never really give a true indication of whats ahead.

yes he has had a very good game - one of e a very very few

Pretty sure birt was on for last set of 6 . You can see how bad we need one. Even though we got reamed we still looked sharper
