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

[Woodsie]

No Koula.

No Talau.

Faulalo is in the centres. They really should've put Schoupp in the reserves for this game.

This changes things pretty dramatically.

Don't underestimate Faulalo ... bloke can play ... and knows where the try line is ..

What do you mean feathered friend ?
Please explain

 

[Phobia]

All have fair points about Faulalo. I'll reserve my judgement until after the game. Hope he plays well.

When Hoppa debuted, there was some conjecture about playing him at centre, and moving Garrick to fullback. Hoppa has previously been playing at centre well in NSW cup. Adding onto that, there was a game last year that Paulo was named in the centres late, and ended up being played on the wing.

I have no idea what the in's and out's of lodging team list updates with the NRL, but Faulalo's greater experience on the wing, and Hoppa's familiarity with the centres might see them run out with Hoppa centre, Faulalo on the wing.

Could be a late position change ?
See what Seibold thinks
We are about to find out feathered friend

Faulalo looked solid in defence in the centres against Souths reserve grade side in the trials and deserves a shot. He can attack and knows how to score a try. We’ll see how he holds up in defence this evening.

I am looking forward to seeing our Forwards replicate and dominate James Fisher- Harris and friends .
Once that is achieved It will be Party Time for Tommy Turbo and his friends in the back line

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

The thing with Faulalo is that, yes, he's been fantastic in reserve grade, but he's also looked like he belongs every time he's played with the NRL team. Small sample size so far, but he's a very good replacement and I'm sure he'll do the job. That's the beauty of having some depth in the squad.

Still think this game has "ambush" written all over it, so I'll be happy and impressed if we can get the job done.

Tough game away to the Wahs today. Hopefully the boys are ready to fire up!
