Pre-Game Cowboys v Manly [Round 25, 2021]

[SeaEagleRock8]

Interesting. Surely rested. But he's only been back a couple of weeks. He does wear plenty of bandaging though, so ... maybe its just to ensure we get him at 100 mph 6 days later.

And give tank some good solid minutes. Josh can have a rest and we lose nothing with toff coming in.

Aloiai and Sironen drop out.

Josh rested or injured?

Sea Eagles team cut for Cowboys match

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach Des Hasler has cut his team to play the Nth Queensland Cowboys on Saturday, September 4.

I would say rested.

Maybe, we might have to be content with finishing 4th in the regular season and getting knocked out in straight sets in the finals? Let's hope this isn't the case.

Probably already mentioned that we have only beat 2 teams in the current top 8. Parra & Sharks. Hopefully that won't go against the team in the finals? Canberra loosing last night is probably a good omen for the team not to meet them in the finals, since they played tough against Manly in both matches this year.

Yeah that’s true. But we played roosters, souths and Penrith pretty early on in the season before we hit our straps.

Yeah let’s give up now, good enough…

Manly was never going to meet Canberra in the finals. What’s with all the negativity? We have done well to date but we aren’t done yet.

 

[Remy]

Should be rested surely, he makes our best 17 every day of the week. Even though he's picked up form he has been ill-disciplined lately and we can't afford him copping a suspension before finals.

 

[mickqld]

Apparently Aloiai been struggling with a cold all week and didn't train.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

After our win against Parra in Round 2 I have been comfortably numb. Whatever else happens is the icing on the cake. I am loving season 2021!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

If the Storm lose two in a row you definitely know two things

1) they’ve tanked
2) they’re scared of Manly

Well they obviously aren’t scared of Manly !!

 

[Bearfax]

Obviously any thoughts Des may have had of resting players from the game went out the door when the Roosters spanked the Raiders. If Parra won and we lost we would be sixth. Not acceptable I'd say. Des will rest some late in the game if Manly fly ahead. Then its a question regarding who they play. Certainly most probably the Storm but as I've said I wouldn't be surprised if Bennett plays a swifty to avoid playing Manly and gifts the Panthers the minor premiership. Doubtful, but the Storm will have less problems with the Bunnies sans Latrell than a Turbo charged Sea Eagles.

Well wrong again Bearfax. The Storm got the Minor Premiership and as long as Manly win they will contest the semi next week. Worth a thought though.

Does anyone have any info on why Aloiai is missing the game tomorrow?

Mentioned above by mickqld that he's been struggling with a cold all week and didn't train.

Sick from a cold and hasn’t been training

Sick from a cold and hasn’t been training

Hopefully just the common cold and not the spicy cough
