It's on fox I'm pretty sure. Suli won't play he has been stood down for the week

Strange to get a week off for being lazy or whatever .... I would have thought putting him on as prop for 30 mins might be a better punishment .....

Hopefully it's a wake up call for him either way. The last thing we need is for another centre to dwindle away from our roster

Interesting to see Kelepi Tanginoa in the backrow ......... if he can come up with an occasional pass, I think he is better suited to an edge ...

Well, he is not going to get any fitter by sitting in the stands . Off to the Workers team to raise a sweaty I say !!!

Gee that is a monster pack.........with Keppie off the bench too!

Though not sure how mobile haha

Since he came back from injury Kelepi has not been affective in his 2 games for us . Explains why he lost his spot . Hopefully he can get his mojo back .
He has played mostly at lock and in the second row at the eels and the Cow boys .

Des like them Big and our roster is going to get bigger .

Our last signing Boyle is a giant .

Keen as for Saturday - getting off work early to crack the Wild Turkey and enjoy....think its 11.30am starter.
Keen to see the new lab experiment Boyle rip in and Haumole at lock play well....in fact ALL these forwards would be in contention so its a damn strong pack !!
Docker Clay is handy too, but has plenty of quality in front....then we have Croker getting back to action and Anderson imo, would not be too far out of contention out wide, if he plays a few big games could get that elusive opportunity down the track ??

You can't go play until you do all your chores!

 

[StuBoot]

Isn't that what Dessie said to Suli?

Too late Global - even changed my appointment times to make this plan sweet for Sat....Game on mate !!

It is ..... Boyle, Guacamole, Perrett and Paseka are all coming back from injuries and haven't seen much football .... they may be short of a run ...

 

[Bearfax]

It's on fox I'm pretty sure. Suli won't play he has been stood down for the week

The difference between an experienced coach and an inexperienced coach. Des drew the line with Suli but like all effective punishment, it is designed to educate. That's where Barrett made the mistake with Hastings. Punishment (unless for something really serious) should be to teach, not to exile.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

That forward pack has some possible talent in it.

I feel Des may jettison a few starting top 30 forwards next year to fit in some of these kids in his plans.

Just checked on Sportsbet and Blacktown are 4/1 and seem like at least a 50/50 chance...on paper.
Bunnies have Amone, Sironen Jnr and a few other handy players but Manly have a Big, Quality forward pack with Hodgko and Croker in the halves....anyways I'm having a sneaky shot at those odds, but remember - Bet responsibly....

Soward says: Trent Hodkinson improved their attack last week but I think they will struggle against an in-form South Sydney side. The Rabbitohs were without Connor Tracey last week but were still able to get a win over the Jets and they have strong forwards who are good enough to be in the NRL. Rabbitohs by 12.

* Funny Soward talks up their forwards being good enough for NRL when Manly have 4-5 forwards who have played NRL.....
