Manly team vs Penerith next week

[DSM5]

Rodney was on song with his kicks and he's played centre for Penriff.  Just can't understand Des's interchange plan, and it's not only because of Saturday night.

Rodney playing centre was a long time ago now though mate, Joe Galuvao played plenty of fullback about 10 years ago as well

I tend to agree with you there, specifically with his use of only utilising 16 players in some games.

Bailey has cost us a few games this year. It was his missed tackle against Parra that allowed Inu to make a long break and have them in position for the kick for Robson's try.

Bailey is supposedly a utility player but he cannot slide in the centres, especially against the swifter players. Basically we need a sub who can shift into the backs when an injury takes place. Rodney is great but is 65 minutes at 100% better than 80 minutes at 90%. I know they have GPSs on them at training and monitor heart-rates and all the other things to ensure that the game time of each player is at optimal rate.
