Pre-Game Knights v Manly [Round 13, 2023]

[lsz]

Man how many players do we have out? Has to be even more than the rainbow game

 

[Rafferty]

Just saw we have named Coops @ 7, I’ve just lost confidence….

 

[skeagle]

Decent team with what we have available. But Christian on the bench? Gordon would be a much better option

 

[lsz]

Also I wonder how the team will change over the next few days. It looks like everyone in the squad that can be has been named.

As an example who knows if Kane L is right to play

 

[NREagle]

Not confident of a win with that side.

BUT I really hope the boys rip in and show us what the jersey really means to them!

 

[Budgie]

Cooper ****ing Johns?

Yeah, I can't see this being the game time 17

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Interesting Tuipulotu on the bench
Maybe too soon to put Arthur in instead of Johns
Glad to see Fainu keep his spot
Weekes I like at fullback keeps the others in there position with little change

Cooper ****ing Johns?

Possibly too early for Jake to know all the plays. Wouldn’t surprise if he comes in on the bench. Rarely do players signed mid season start in that initial week. Especially in a playmaking position.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Cooper may still have to prove his fitness.
Lawton also.
Arthur and Boyle ready to step up if needed.
Tuipulotu on the bench is interesting, I guess of the remaining backs he is the one who is most like a forward.

Or cover for Garrick if weekes at fullback struggles.

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

From looking at the side, I think that Tuipulotu will come in to the starting side as a winger with Garrick moving to fullback & Weeks on the bench.

Also, I hope Arthurs replaces Johns.

 

[Nordburg]

What worries me is that Seibold hasn’t made any late changes to the 1-17 named on Tuesday,the last few weeks.Hopefully this is the week he’s going to

 

[Adz]

Humphreys named as 9 in flegg side? Hmmmm.

 

[Nordburg]

They’re not picking a player that’s basically one dimensional,Tuipulotu,to sit on the bench,just for insurance in case a player struggles.If they have an issue with someone,in this case Weekes,why pick him at all.

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

Possibly too early for Jake to know all the plays. Wouldn’t surprise if he comes in on the bench. Rarely do players signed mid season start in that initial week. Especially in a playmaking position.

Probably because of the dumb move Manly made in 1998. Manly released Craig Field to Balmain at the start of the week the clubs were scheduled to play each other. Balmain with Field at halfback won.

Doesn'tmatta has selected the Big O straight into its side.
Funny, I read an article this morning stating that the Tuggers hadn't released him.
You're lucky if you can believe half of the stuff that is printed these days.

Yeah but not a play maker. A middle forward has a pretty simple role.

Eels wanted him last week because they were out of middles. Now they've lost Matto, Davey and Paulo they have no option.

 

[XV-1]

Seibold signed Johns. He will be selected. Unfortunately.

Sometimes I hate being right 😬
