Pre-Game Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

[Buddy Love]

I just had a really good look at our draw and it's a bloody good one for us. Frankly with our roster and the cards we've been dealt if we don't make top 4 I'll consider the year a big failure. Gotta beat the vast majority of the mediocre teams and those lacking confidence like this mob. Fingers crossed we can put a few consecutive games together at a really high standard.

This year we can absolutely win the top 4 are even and our draw is good. DCE needs to quit Origin and focus on 2nd premiership. Screw origin manly matters most

Looks like Garrick to left centre and Clayton on the right, Clayton defended well in the first trial there, no doubt he will have traffic sent at him.

He’d be giving away 20 kilo to Pompey, not that much better with Leiataua, will be a tough night defensively no doubt.

No it doesn’t. Faulalo is pure class and a fine replacement. Dramatic.

Faulalo may very well be better than koula too from what I’ve seen

Not being funny here. Respect and love all the hard work people put in for this great website but @Jethro can you please use our current MWRLFC club emblem for your pre-game / teams post each week ? I'll show myself out.

And the ladder whilst you are there too please. 🙏

How tf do we already lose two centres to injury by week two? 🤦‍♂️ I hope it’s a minor hiccup and we go on to have a decent run with player availability this year.

And some people want to trade an outside back? Not sure about that one.

It's a worry that Matterson and Arthur are left on the bench

Play the bloke that's fit. Next man up mentality. Faulalo deserves it. Must have had a good preseason. Was probably best on ground in one trial. Sounds like he was similarly a stand out at fullback in ressies last week.

Second trial he looked rusty at fullback. I reckon he's spent the part of preseason at centre. That all makes him the right man for the job this week.
