Pre-Game Dolphins V Manly [Round 10, 2024]

[JenEagle]

That’s the challenge with Nathan Brown. Just a phenomenal player however the way he plays the game does risk injury

 

[Will on the hill]

Burbo back, Sipley fit, Gordy in and Woods surplus to requirements. Pleasantly surprised by that team list.

Sipley named... hopefully fit enough to play & is not a passenger.
Same applies to Burbo

Sips must be ok, no point picking unfit players, you usually get found out pretty quickly.

So after the Rd 9 home disaster flogging by the Titans in 2023 we came out to redeem ourselves in Rd 10 vs the Broncos. Got smashed 6 - 32. From there it was a non stop downhill slide out of the 8 to finish 12th. Pretty much the same team list this week as last year. Yep can easily see Dolphins by 22 and the slide will get steeper.

With back to back Lang Park games, is Manly squad staying in Brisbane for the whole week?

Yeah, i was at that Broncs game, couldn't get out of Suncorp fast enough. Certainly was the beginning of the end for us.

Every 2 points is equal at the end of the season but these 2 feel extra crucial to the optics of the season. Win and we are locked in the top 4 regardless of other results. Lose and we could be out of the top 8 and 3 points off top 4 with Broncos, Storm, Penrith as our next 3 games.

 

[Nordburg]

Brown out again,may want to hold off on any contract talks for him.Same can be said of Seibold

 

[Sheikheagle]

Croker. Replaced by a bloke that has questionable defence. Jake will need to make 100 tackles this week.

 

[joeboy]

Jake won’t need to make so many tackles if he stops giving away six agains.

 

[Pete W]

Brown's style will not permit him continuing on for much longer. Be very surprised if he can put together half a season this year

And yes, way too early to even consider extending Seibold. Our annual collapse seems right on cue

Dolphins v Sea Eagles: Farnworth, Bromwich back; Croker, Brown sidelined

With four wins from their past six games since their bye, the Dolphins are proving a real threat in 2024 while the Sea Eagles will be looking to get their season back on track after a disappointing defeat to Canberra.

Yes, I heard last night they are staying in Brisbane for the week. Seems logical...

 

[Waz13]

Number 1 son is taking me to the game, I hate Suncorp, feeling nervous about this one, could go either way and I hate last play thrillers its not good for my heart. Bennett will be well prepared and so will the Finns

Ha. I’m taking my number 1 son too. My second son (named Finn!) a knights fan, wants nothing to do with the game Thursday night! lol

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

4/6 I reckon , no worries

He might make less tackles... but how many more points do you think we'd concede if we consistently allowed the opposition to get a quick play-the-ball with our defensive line staggered and retreating to get back on-side?
